>>61100746I'm probably the least parasocial schizo on this board, but even I can somewhat relate to the idea. While her "we're not real friends" quote has been blown way out of proportion (since it's a good reality check to filter actual gachikoi unicorns), there's something to be said about breaking the illusion. I still like Fauna ASMR, but knowing too much about her PL does ruin the experience.
It's like renting a hooker escort to go on a GFE date with you, and halfway through she talks about how she went to this place with her ACTUAL bf. Like bitch, I know you have a BF and this is a rental service, but put some tact in that kayfabe ok? You know it, I know it, but we don't need to hear it right now.
Even if we know it coming in, something about it still feels uncomfortable and can turn people off from the experience.
>>61100010False parasocial relationships are indeed unhealthy, and should be used like any other coping drug (in moderation). That said, while real relationships SHOULD be the target for any healthy functioning normal person.....who the hell do you think we are? If we were normies, we wouldn't be /here/ listening to GFE ASMR. For the invalids, schizos, incels, and emotionally damaged, real relationships were never an option, and this is the next best thing. Don't even get me started on the already garbage relationship/marriage/birth rates across the entire first world, how the average guy is already doomed to begin with, wage slaving and gold digging galore in 3dpd, etc. If the AVERAGE guy already has it that bad, what hope is there for the bottom percentile?
Exactly, sex dolls and AI waifus. Vtubers are just the pre-alpha test since we don't have the proper technology yet. If we can love an avatar piloted by a normie 3dpd white woman, we will definitely love the improved, customized, always online, 100% dedicated to (You) AI waifu where you are her sole viewer. Simps already dropping akasupas to get their oshi to just acknowledge their existence, now you can have her be all yours...for the low low subscription of $99.99 a month (or whatever Microsoft will charge for it).
