The thing that seems to be getting lost because of the stigma behind the word, is that most people watching streamers are in a parasocial relationship with that streamer to some extent. We just need to be aware and make sure that we don't take it too far.

Women only want the positives of parasocialism: the free money, the attention, the lavish praise received for completing the most trivial of tasks. You can’t expect such selfish creatures to ever factor in that there are negatives as well.

>> No.25265532

I have always thought this word to be stupid since the start. as if anyone watches livestreams for any other reason than to be "parasocial". Even the vtubers who say parasocial bad every 5 minutes are "parasocial" because if you didn't care for the personality you would just play the game yourself instead of watching. From the way these people use the word, it feels closer to the meaning of gachikoi. not wanting gachikoi is understandable but since "parasocial" is a buzzword everyone has their own meaning which leads to pointless arguments where both sides think they are owning the other.

It's another case of normalfaggot "irony" disease.
You can only like the vtuber "ironically", to distance yourself, as normalfaggots cannot ever risk being excluded from the group for being different. Same thing happened with liking anime and the results of that are known.

Since we are apparently disregarding any sort of context, I simply ask: so what?

This needs to be reiterated every conversation until people get it:
Usually the reason you are are sad when a long-time character dies, as opposed to a character you just met, in a show is because you have a parasocial relationship.

>> No.25282364

>>25264298
btw just assuming that you understand people's boundaries based on what they've said in general is a form of parasocial interaction.
99% of people are being parasocial as fuck when they respect a streamer's boundaries that they've inferred based on what the streamer is annoyed by.

Some people are just parasocially more intelligent than others.
