This chapter examines the relationship between public figures and the criticism they face, particularly in the context of social media. It explores how individuals like Simone Biles navigate online hostility and how contemporary artists like Banksy provoke passionate responses from the art community. The discussion serves as a lens to understand the broader implications of public scrutiny, artistic merit, and the complexities of modern art in shaping cultural discourse.
