>>25247335Yeah, sure. Mito the poster child if you will. There is a reason why butthurt Aifag shitposted about how Mito would be stabbed by a stalker back in the day.
Long form streaming is always parasocial. Even fucking Asmongold is parasocial. The streamer doesn't have to do anything about it, retards will delude themselves, and if streamer does enough to discourage them then even the normalfags will leave because some degree of familiarity is essential. Without it you might as well go watch TV shows with much higher production quality and content density, no need to sit there and watch an anime clown for 3 hours hoping for a funny to happen. Doing a token effort to not be a straight up virtual cabaret and then pretending to be the bulwark of mental stability in v-space while still riding on simp and yumejo bucks is the most hilarious shit I've seen in this community.
