Is it wrong that I enjoy both holo and niji? It feels like I have to choose a side everywhere I go

A parasocial relationship is a one sided relationship where someone forms a strong attachment with a mass media producer such as a TV host, celebrity, or in our case vtubers. Of course the producer can't reciprocate the relationship, so it turns into an extremely one-sided relationship. This is even more of a easy trap to fall into right now because we are much more emotionally starved during the isolation of the pandemic. This can be harmful and can lead to damaging other parts of someone's life. Caring about a vtuber or enjoying their their content is normal, but getting to a point where you "need" their content to be happy is a sign that you might have an issues with it.
Ask yourself, have you been changing your real life relationships because of vtubers? Are you able to take a break from watching without any serius withdrawal? Do you feel like you need to spend money on them? Do you view them as a friend, or worse, a romantic relationship? Are you jealous of them spending time with other people in their life outside being a vtuber?
If many of these are true, please consider taking a step back to consider the issues of a parasocial relationship.
That being said, some degree of attachement is perfectly healthy and normal, I'm not saying that you shouldn't care about them, just don't let it take over your life.
You are simply a single person out of millions, they care about their audiance as a group, but as an individual you are a stranger.
