Seriously just that. I just read an article about an actor having to remind people that he played a character in a film, after he was sent threatening dms:

How absolutely terrifying to think that there are people who don’t stop to think for a second but lash out at others. I’m sure this must happen more frequently than I thought, but I’ve never seen this before.
Makes you wonder how many serious nutters are out there in the wild!

A relative of mine was on duty for the Queen's funeral. A visitor to London asked him why there were crowds of people lining the roads and he said it was for the Queen's funeral. The visitor replied "Oh, is she dead?" . . . . . 🤔

People have been stupid about this for ever. I remember reading an interview with Susan Tully in the early 80s when her Eastenders character had an abortion. She went to fill up her car at the petrol station and got a load of abuse from another customer there for having her (fictional) termination.

I think this is common place.

I remember the Scottish actor who played Trevor in Eastenders got people being aggressive with him in public warning him to ,“lLeave Mo alone”.
