>>45905636>Why are most vtubers terrified of the word parasocial?Because they dont understand what it actually means.
There is nothing wrong with parasociality. Feeling an attachment towards a creator/chuuba is fine because its natural. If someone is constantly streaming and showing people a part if themselves, its natural the audience will grow attached. These are literally the people who give them money/support.
Hell people feel parasocial towards people like pim toole and alex jones, so it isnt just a "romantic" thing.
The only time its bad is if you are simultaneously mentally ill and lack self awareness, because that horrific combunation will lead to overattachment, trauma-dumping, and thoughts like "if I send them a shit load of money, they'll eventually be my gf/friend!".
