Tik Tokers pretend like the culture of building ethical parasocial relationships with your fanbase hasn't already been established years ago by Youtuber and Twitch streamers. You never send your fans to harass others. That's literally how you get banned from the platform.
I mean yes, any rationally minded individual would understand that sending your supporters after someone is a bad idea. Being kicked off the platform has nothing to do with it, it is wrong period.
I'm more convinced it has something to do with social media induced narcissism than anything else. When your role models are all vapid and self centered, why would you be any different? And when you're a narcissist you will absolutely be so conceited as to think you're too big to fail.
Add in a little stupidity and voila: you have someone like SSSniperwolf.
