Is reputation fragile?

[Sonic Shimmer 4,133]

Yeah, especially these days. Social media mobs wait for people to make one ill advised comment and then do everything they can to drag their name through their mud.

Reputation is only fragile if those perceiving it are malleable and incapable of making their own discernments. A person’s reputation is just word of mouth, usually spread by people who don’t have or want the full story, and have no interest in pursuing it. The value of a human being should be based on personality, how they’re evaluated by qualified, intuitive minds, and confirmed facts. But nowadays, reputation means very little when it’s used by dishonest people as an underhanded weapon to discredit quality human beings.

The truth is stated @Dreambiscuit  Reputation is not an immortal being.

Most certainly, because one wrong move and you could find the reputation you've built up for years has crumbled into nothingness!
