>>20040145>I think it's generally agreed upon that parasocial interactions are unhealthy, but the question on my mind is if it's healthier than total isolation.Is it really parasocial when the streamer herself is using it in such a way? Tay has let off quite a few comments indicating as such, during the last Thursday stream, and most recently during the 24hr stream where she started crying, and going all the way back to that emotional goodbye she had. Thursday she talked about her current mindset and that she was certain that without the benefits fishtank provided -- friends like Jimmy and the stream, she'd be alone and miserable just crocheting on her bed maybe seeing Maria once or twice a month. She when first got back from Fishtank it seemed like she was in that rut again which prompted that emotional goodbye.

A lot of the S2 cast were tortured individuals, Tay's specific torture seems to be loneliness.
