Let's say that I'm listening to one of Inui Toko's streams, because I really like her singing/music, however she also happens to be funny/entertaining. How do you quantify how parasocial I'm being?
I think we should create a mathematical formula to help ground this issue in the realm of reason, rather than the endless expanse of opinion.
If:
X = Parasocialness
P = Personality
C = Content
Then:
X = P > C
This means that the person in question is in a parasocial relationship with the target chuuba, no questions asked.
Conversely:
X = P < C
This means that the person in question merely views said chuuba as a means of entertainment, nothing more.
This then begs the question, "how does one quantify entertainment?" Furthermore, if one enjoys the target chuuba's content and personality equally. Are they still in a parasocial relationship? What if they aren't gay and the chuuba is the same sex?
