>>35804291Nope, this happened because I made an effort to be less parasocial. I already said in my previous post that I think the people that shit on her were probably way too parasocial and for some reason or another they dropped.
I can see what you mean, though - get too parasocial, get big expectations, hate her for an idea you built up and not what she is.
Problem here is that Rosemi was hyping up her going full time, promising better streams and longer - you know in vague terms, nothing too specific. She failed to do that, at least in my eyes but I got over it pretty quickly. But after doing stuff like that again in regards to what she wants to play, like this Zelda thing that started out as her wanting to play Majora's Mask, then her saying she feels like if she plays one Zelda game she has to play them all and somehow she ended up deciding on Skyward Sword. I just feel like a lot of the enthusiasm she brought to streaming before she readjusted her content after people were getting tired of the collab spam was lost.
To me if feels like stuff she really wants to do, games she wants to play, etc, she does in her own time and in her own terms. That's why I agree with that loser that some of her better content, or the content that I consider the best in the last 3-4 months, happens in memberships, because she can forget needing a schedule, she can forget people expecting her to do something for a certain amount of time, she can forget to pretend to be a naive little girl and just be herself and be a little more open.
The problem also is that Rosemi has never really been transparent with any of her goals. Not that I minded, when she started I assumed she was just here for a good time and I was happy to be along for the ride. But ever since quitting and talking of going back to school, and the aforementioned lack of enthusiasm she brings to streams, I really don't know what she wants to get out of this, and more importantly, I realize I'm not getting much out of watching a person who in mind lost a lot of her charm by watering herself down. No more freaking it or phrases like that, no more of her bizarre memes or videos and being unaware of things like updog, now it's POG this, MORBIN that. When I was too parasocial I could justify these things with any number of reasons, now that I'm not, I can't. If I can't sense that genuine desire to entertain her fans or have a good time with a series, Zelda, she is a supposed diehard fan of, that'll be as long as I support her.
Funnily enough, I might check her out if she graduates and goes indie or goes fleshtuber. Because I feel that in that type of environment where she feels free to do whatever the fuck she wants and play whatever the fuck she wants she'll be a much better time.
