>>45202961> the idea is to be as close to the fanbase as you possibly can and constantly available to them.That’s the FUCKING OPPOSITE of parasocial, you fucking retard.
https://www.findapsychologist.org/parasocial-relationships-the-nature-of-celebrity-fascinations/Parasocial fixation is explicitly one sided and delusional, if you are interacting with the artist and, specially, if the artist is actually giving you personalized attention it’s NOT parasocial.
This is as retarded as using “literally” to mean “figuratively”. More than that, and to push the point forward: all of the examples used by the western hacks trying to save people from it use fixation with western singers and celebrities.
The fact retards think there is anything particular about idol groups with regards to “parasocial behaviour” is the most stupid thing SPECIALLY because their whole product is to actually give personalized attention.
