It's not whether we ought to care about the bieber fans who are cutting themselves, because if they are immature and stupid enough to believe that cutting themselves is the right thing to do, then it's their mistake to learn from. What is important is the fact that they now make self harm look like an even bigger cry for attention than it already appears to society. People have a hard enough time trying not to get judged for self harming, we don't need a load of bieber fans doing it, to make people who self harm look worse.
I don't understand why twitter hasn't taken down lots of accounts for this. Because it isn't just taken as a joke to lots of fans. If you type in the hash tag to view all the tweets, yeah a lot of them are spoofs of it, people saying 'oh yeah justin i'll cut for you' and then a picture of scissors and paper all chopped up. But I've mistakenly clicked on links to pictures and found a lot of pictures of young people with their arms covered in blood, from what looks like severe self harm.
