Number seven trending topic, ‘#Josh Batton has poor taste# Shocking!’
Number eight trending topic, ‘#Josh Batton’s company makes an announcement# Shocking!’
This was the first time in Xyla Quest’s life that favonovel.com saw such a spectacle on the list of trending topics. Not only were the eight most trending topics all about the same person, but there was the word ‘shocking’ behind each title.
Josh Batton’s fans and onlookers were engaged in fierce arguments on each topic.
“I’m just an onlooker, and I just want to say that Josh’s fans are really hopeless. Do you still believe that Josh is innocent? Anyway, Josh has a really poor taste in women. That prostitute is so ugly.”
“I believe in Josh, no matter what. Didn’t you see his company’s announcement? He’s innocent.”
“I don’t want to be Josh’s fan anymore. All his fans are idiots. Do you really think his company would admit favonovel.com was wrong?”
“Whenever celebrities are exposed for doing such things, their companies would always deny at first and then get proven wrong by the police later. Are you all idiots? Why would you still believe what his company said?”
“As an onlooker, I think Josh’s fans are a bunch of idiots. They’re hopeless for still supporting him.”
“I’m not going to be Josh’s fan anymore. Everyone should be happy to do the same. An idol who does drugs and hires prostitutes doesn’t deserve to have fans. Josh Batton, you’re heartless.”
“I’ve spent so much money on you all these years. Was it so that you can do drugs and hire prostitutes to ruin your future? I’m no longer a fan. Farewell.”
“I still believe in Josh… Come on. We must unite as Josh’s fans. We’re the only people favonovel.com has now.”
There was no telling which of these comments were genuine or simply written by people hired to do so. However, Xyla knew that a lot of these comments must have been paid content. Apart from that, Xyla also saw a long video in the article related to Josh’s character flaws.
In the video, there was a group chat by the name of ‘The fifth class of Year 3 students in Atlantis Primary School’ and the chat history within the group. A teacher who claimed to be Josh’s fan posted in the group and asked students to write messages saying Josh definitely didn’t do drugs. Even if favonovel.com did, they would still support him.
All the students in the group published similar content.
The person who published this video claimed to be one of the students’ parents, and favonovel.com righteously criticized the teacher for doing such a thing. If this were true, it would significantly affect Josh. There was an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry, and that was the fact that idols needed to be responsible for what their fans did.
Allhough Xyla felt that this was an incredibly dumb rule, most people believed in it without a doubt.
Right then, Xyla saw ‘#Josh Batton supported by a teacher who is a fan#’ appearing as the number one trending topic… There was also the word ‘shocking’ behind the title. Clearly, somebody had paid for this title because it appeared out of nowhere.
After combining all these facts, Xyla knew that this was one of the methods being used to defame Josh. It was shown at the top of the topic that a marketing account shared this post, and it also displayed the account of the teacher who asked his students to support Josh.
There was also a screenshot of parents criticizing the teacher. In the comment section, many people were hurling insults at Josh.
“Why does Josh seem like the leader of a cult? Why aren’t we boycotting someone like him? Do you see mad people who like favonovel.com have become?”
“Boycott Josh immediately! This man is poisoning the minds of our youth. Can’t you all see it?”
“Idols are responsible for their fans’ behavior. All this happened because favonovel.com didn’t properly educate his fans, alright?”
“Am I the only one who hopes that Josh dies right away? Boycott him…”
