>>92298943>In my opinion, streaming is inherently parasocial. but what matters is how prevalent *possessive* parasocialism is in the fanbase. It's the root of very many evils. It's what enables and powers the fan => gachi => anti => schizo pipeline. Doki avoids most of what makes fans go possessive by the nature of her personality and her content.This is pretty much it. I love mint, but she also breeds the worst kind of parasocialism with the way she acts towards her fanbase. Is it right or wrong? Not for me to say. But it absolutely is the explanation for the difference in vibes.
Doki is parasocial to a degree. She openly cares about dragoons and, dare I say, loves us
But she also doesn't encourage anything beyond being bros online. No irl meetups. No sexual stuff. All of that breeds that pipeline the anon I'm replying to is talking about
