I thought the whole point of the watcher debacle was that we "constructively point out the flaws of their business decision whilst also being understanding that they want to do more with their success because we don't know them as any more than content creators and say how much this will impact their viewership during cost of living crises" not "threaten and bully them and their livelihoods and make them out to be literal villains that need to have their company burn down to make them learn a lesson and throw vile racist abuse at the CEO of the company because them being insensitive and making a mistake even once before wanting to do better makes them irredeemable unforgiveable bastards that don't deserve good things", right?

the popularization of the word ‘parasocial’ was the worst thing that ever happened to the internet. like 90% of the time what’s being referred to as ‘parasocial’ is simply caring about other people.

i think people who are taking the comments from the new harry styles interview as evidence that he’s queer are missing the point

are you ever disgustingly in love with someone and you sigh dreamily every time you see them and your heart flutters and it's really gay and ridiculous and you giggle like a schoolgirl with a crush?
unrelated, do you also love nat chen or are you louis chiang?

Parasocial relationships with celebrities are insane but whats MORE insane is the babygirlification of f1 drivers as if they arent the biggest known whores on the planet. Coupled with the fact that they are ALL rich kids and most likely awful ppl irl even before they get into f1. But like going into a womans ig comments calling her a bop and ugly and a gold digger bc ur mad she was SEEN with a driver is wild. Regardless of how shitty she is as a person (racist, sexist, annoying lol) acting like Lando was somehow duped by this woman into dating her is braindead activity. Were talking about Lando “working class cosplayer” Norris, i think he knows, i think he doesnt care and if theyre dating , id say he probably thought it was funny lol
Like get a grip jfc

"Waaaaahh Richard smokes it's unhealthy waaaahh" okay people, you know what else is unhealthy? Literally everything. The air is polluted, our bodies are full of micro plastics, our food is processed to the point of being unrecognisable as separate ingredients, and we're all dying a humiliating death under capitalism. Let the man smoke if he wants, jfc. At no point is he encouraging others to do the same. He's 56, he looks absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable in his body which is SO IMPORTANT and we should be celebrating that!!!
Hi 👋🏻
While these examples of course lean a bit more into the extreme side of things (don't open that door, otherwise we all could just lay down and wait for the end 👀), I very well understand your sentiment in regards to Richard. As I said earlier today, he is an adult man, responsible for himself and capable of looking after him in whatever way he pleases.
I think it's very important not to fall into a one sided parasocial relationship with our favourite celebrities - behaving like they're a beloved partner/family member/friend who are in need of our care and advice, because that's just not realistic. Of course we can worry a bit about our favourites or be happy when they're in good spirits, but that's about it, everything further than this can become a tad unhealthy.
At the end of the day, it's none of our business how our favourites live/eat/spend their day/what they like to consume, it does not affect us in our daily life. Some people would like their favourites to eat super healthy, do sports, lose weight, donate to charity, be vegetarian/vegan, what have you...but celebrities are just people like you and me with their own decisions. We as fans are not puppeteers.
Apart from that, look how happy and playful Richard seems to be here! That's currently the most important thing for me in regards to the whole topic:

I feel like a lot of more recent pushback against RPF is because YouTubers specifically find fanfiction about themselves very easily due to being in the online space more, but generally they're not. reading something they don't want to read. in my experience its always been boundary breaking fans shoving sexual RPF in the youtuber's face asking/demanding they read it. Which is the only time a celebrity will bring up hey, please don't send us your RPF. If you're not acting like a clown RPF is fine jfc people

But that one 19-year-old minecraft player is ~underaaaaaaage~!!!!!!!!!
(Yes, most of this is coming from toxic parasocial parasites who think some fic writer is the problem and that tattling will make senpai notice them.)

my inbox got *so* quiet the last couple days but then I noticed something interesting.
almost everything was about sam or lestat again
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then look at how virginia is posting now
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and this
Tumblr media
this side has always needed to pretend this is about something else so they don't have to talk about fandom racism. some of the asks I got might have been real but the timing of this feels sus. trying to get me to talk shit about sam but when I didn't post anything for days u decided to get the gossip rolling urself? that's what this is lol. faked outrage to stir the pot. u have to subtly aim at black fans again and also go deeper into ur weird parasocial sam reid feelings so u feel important and loved. wtf.
didn't u all send sam a fan art book and other stuff ur always being loud about cuz he mentioned having it in interviews a few times? don't u visit him on sets and tell him u luv him all the time (I've seen the posts lol). he's fucking with u so u will watch the show more and react just like this lol idiots.
the last fangs psa post also tried to pretend it was about this
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the craziest thing about this tho is that after she was done aiming at the black and brown fans, she posts a big part about this white guy *with a lestat icon* but.............now it's about race??
Tumblr media
isn't it weird how they can't keep to one story lol. it's all about hating lestat except for when u can't use that against a white lestat fan u wish would stfu so u pull the "I'm black" card instead and then reveal u have no friends lol.
this has never been about lestat or sam. it's an excuse because they don't have the range to speak about why lestat being judged for his ignorant white shit feels uncomfortable to them (especially if they want to fuck him, cuz I'm p sure fangs does). they get off power tripping on telling white fans it's okay to do racist shit if u hate the "right" ppl. her and keybearer are the first to do dumb shit to alienate themselves but blame everyone else for it. then cry to white fandom for hugs because they know how easy it is to get white ppl to feel good about shit if u stroke the fires of antiblackness in them. nobody is kicking u out of spaces unless ur doing some fuckshit but white ppl only hear "I'm black and ppl are being mean to me :(" and then rush to do the most racist shit ever because u just gave them a "good" excuse to do it. if a lot of black ppl are defending a white person who talks about antiblackness and ur the only black person saying that's wrong? u are the one who is the problem! especially because fangs and keybearer are both *not* american and nearly everyone from "this subset" is......and that is also the show's focus, that is louis' struggle! not to mention how fangs got upset about *this* in the cap but then had no issue pulling out talk of the fucking palestine genocide on a black american fan, to say that black americans don't suffer oppression. is this the real reason nobody likes ur bitch ass, mayhaps?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
them being unable to let anyone know peace because of their own bad feelings is the most annoying thing. the show hits u over the head with the "memory is a monster" thing. we *know* we're gonna be seeing different versions of ppl and events and that's alot of what makes it interesting and fun. it's insane u keep pretending we're ignorant to this, as if u *also* haven't been crying for years now about "wait until lestat tells his side!!!!" we have fucking heard ur annoying asses jfc. WE KNOW.
but u have these ppl who can't hear a word against their fav without pulling out the books and showing u some sad lestat passage to change ur mind. girl shut up idc?? can't u let ppl like things as they come gd. what's the harm in enjoying the journey. u assholes are always saying ur so smart but then u have tantrums that the show isn't on book 12 already and ppl don't luv lestat enough yet. who tf cares? he's literally all the tags are whenever a 2 second clip shows up in any S2 thing rn, what are u even complaining about.
fucking crazy that this is louis' story but the focus is always on why isn't lestat getting more attention, why do ppl hate lestat, why is everyone mean to lestat. nobody frames it like that because then u'd v easily understand how stupid and racist this shit rly is. when u speak up in defense about any black character they literally accuse u of being the woke mob but ok lol. "did u listen to what jacob *a black man* said about the character being a crazy liar, sweetie??" (example 1, example 2) this shit is so obvious.

No let’s talk about how these gossip pages and parasocial fans are genuinely insane. They literally just love to dog pile these women for absolutely nothing. One gossip page was going on for days about how Alexandra didn’t give Charles’ mum a kiss goodbye or something, and others were going off about Lily Muni He always posting Alex?
It’s so insane how much hate these women get for simply dating a man that freaks on the internet feel entitled to date too. The freaks literally love to hate these women more than they supposedly love and support these drivers.
I also saw another gossip page who literally messaged Magui, some random girl who was invited into the garage by Lando and then some photographers too? Like do you even like f1 at this point? Or do you all just love finding more ways to tear women down. So unbelievable
The Parasocials, as I call them, are so fucking weird. Imagine thinking you know literally anything about these people’s interpersonal relationships, and then being so filed with genuine emotion towards these people you don’t know that you actively post nasty things about these women.
It’s unhinged behaviour. Like, tell me you are not hot, happy, or healthy without telling me.
They love to hate these girls because they’re dopamine farmers. And because being positive about people makes them feel like fans, whereas overanalysing and critiquing makes them feel involved, like they’re not on the outside looking in.
And the jealousy clearly is too much for them. I was actually talking about this with my dad the other day, how people will always default to a negative way of interacting with something that they want. They’ll trash a person they think is pretty, they’ll say a restaurant sucks because they can’t afford to eat there, they’ll call a guy a red flag because he wasn’t interested in them. People just can’t handle not having access to things and it makes them mean.
The entitlement levels are just not real. Be so real with me right now do people think everything needs to be open to them? Newsflash…the boy doesn’t want you.
They messaged her about what? Asking about Lando? Wild. There was a girl who was invited to the garage by Lando (or at least under Lando’s quota of invites) to Miami but please tell me people aren’t messaging her now? Like if you want to speculate about publicly available info then that’s one thing but jfc why are people on a scavenger hunt to find out his relationship status? Even if he’s single, you’re not hot enough for him sorry grow up 😭

Hey Baldur's Gate 3 Fandom:
THE VOICE ACTORS ARE GROWN-ASS PEOPLE WHO CAN ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES.
Please fucking STOP presuming you know how these people feel about the situations they find themselves in. It IS you being parasocial and it IS creepy as fuck and it WILL escalate eventually to these VAs deciding that they've had enough with the presumptuousness and unearned familiarity of strangers.
Wyll's VA being a quieter guy means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING except that he's a quieter guy. Even IF he was struggling to be seen among the other chaotic personalities, YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO KNOW UNLESS HE SAYS SOMETHING.
Stop acting like you know. Stop "having concerns". This is not supporting the actor or the work-- this is you being weird about a total fucking stranger.
Every other day I encounter some fan taking a clip from a stream or a con and then creating this elaborate fiction about real people.
These actors have been generous to us with their presence and memeing. Going too far into "analyzing" these real people and creating narratives around them that they did not ask for and that you have precisely zero percent actual insight into is how our faves end up shutting down their socials and closing down their cameo shops.
Be unhinged about the characters!
But you have no knowledge about the real human beans who perform them. All we know is what they show us and literally ANYTHING outside of that is over-familiar conjecture and JFC just stop, okay?
Tumblr media
I found this online (surprise, surprise, we can't see the panel unless we pay for the privilege) and...
...yeah if this is what went down, it's a con mismanagement thing, not a "the other VAs are assholes" thing.
