Well she is fighting against a culture here. It is generally accepted that musicians who become stars need to give up some of their privacy, and should take photos with fans etc. It will be hard to establish that she wants that differently, especially as her communication isnt "I want us to be different" but rather "you people arent normal, leave me alone".

Yeah I'm kind of in the middle on this one. She deserves privacy, but also stardom has it's cost. People are going to want to know who you are, you're face is going to be plastered everywhere, it's a natural human thing that people are going to be curious, and yelling at fans who... recognize you is not a good look IMO.

Now, I will say that when it gets into stalking and harrassment, or genuine parasocial relationships, that's not healthy, and should be called out.
