>>71233360well if we want to get completely on the definition then:
"Parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships, where one person extends emotional energy, interest and time, and the other party, the persona, is completely unaware of the other's existence."
It wouldn't even apply to Mouse because she's just as emotionally invested in her viewers as her viewers are in her. The amount of times she broken down into tears crying about how much she loves the chat because they changed her life, you know that sort of thing. It's definitely not a case of being "unaware of the other's existence" as the definition says. She even remembers a number of the chatters names as recognizes the regulars and what to expect of them. At that point it's not one sided from either the viewers or mouse, which would mean it can't be parasocial for either side.
