>>411101You can certainly form parasocial relationships with a lot of different entertainers. You can't with fictional characters, because you know, they aren't real, there's not even the possibility of reciprocity. Having a crush on a celebrity or fictional character is fairly normal for teenagers and the painfully alone. Waifufaggotry is something else, self-induced delusion. Very bizarre.
I find this vtuber GFE shit a little perplexing though because you aren't even given the illusion of commanding a person's undivided attention. Such as in a host club or gentleman's club. Or even a maid cafe or whatever. She's like speaking to a horde when she does this "ur lookin handsome today" bullshit. I'm just not sure how the conceit of her caring about you at all doesn't crumble under its own absurdity for the simps.
I would draw a line between most forms of entertainment and what's going on here. It's not especially alarming, it's not as bad as Onlyfans for instance, but at least there you're getting porn out of it. Amelia is a decent entertainer when she decides to be but as far as this girlfriend surrogate thing, she's not even a very good liar and the format is self-defeating. It's just weird, and despite the amount of time I've wasted on this site, no, I don't think I've ever participated in something like this.
