>>16516264I can't pretend to speak for Ina, so I cannot tell you how much a parasocial attachment she has to us as her "fanbase".
What
>>16516579 and
>>16517154 get wrong is that parasocial relationships do not work as normal social relationships, in that they can be very one-sided, and also are able to exist without a direct line of interaction. That is not to say that parasocial relationships are lesser than "regular" ones, but they are certianly different.
For the sake of example, I will propose an extreme example of a hypothetical Vtuber M (Memhera) who has a strong parasocial attachment to her fanbase, and even goes as far as to egosearch her Gachikois. If this Vtuber was to find a Gachikoi she has an attachment too died, she will probably feel some amount of sadness over the loss of the parasocial relationship.
There is currently one one or two Hololive members who I would suspect to be that level of menhera, based on the infos I have, and Ina is not one of them
Its festival and Russia Ina certianly has a level of parasocial attachment, but where it exactly is between the extremes or "dont care" and "M" is anyones guess, and see my first sentence, I cannot speak for Ina.
