Though Roan calls it a DS as shorthand, it’s most likely that the fan was using either a DSi or 3DS, as the camera wasn’t a mainstay of Nintendo’s handhelds until the DSi in 2008. And if you’re using one of those in 2024, that is next-level commitment to the bit and I applaud you for it. That’s Pink Pony Girl, shit.

Pop sensation Chappell Roan recently caught a fan taking photos of her live performance during a concert. But instead of reacting with irritation, the singer-songwriter seemed delighted once she realized the concert attendee in question was taking said photos via a rather unconventional camera: the one embedded in their Nintendo DS.

The toxic stans aren’t the problem, it’s fan culture itself. Having devoted fans can be a terrifying and fraught thing for a public figure to experience — and increasingly, the celebs are telling us about it.
