Chloe just instantly accusing her whole chat 🤣 Too good

[@aSwineofCulture]

Calli: "wow duh, little heavy-handed"
IRyS: "I learned something today, thanks"

[@jvts8916]

The thing is that the part that says "with online personality" is optional. It could be a case where you only see an actor as his most famous role or an IRL friendship where you don't yet understand your friend aside from the traits they show on the surface.

[@somedudewatchintv5297]

I agree with the actor example, but if you are in an actual relationship with someone it isn't parasocial.

[@mosesjoe3763]

"Public Personality" is for a more broader general term.
While "Online, TV, Media, etc. Personality" are a little more specific fields.

[@aarvlo]

the term "parasocial" is specifically about one sided relationships with mass media performers and creators, it was invented in the time of the radio and the early television to describe the relationship between the listener and news/show hosts but obviously it can include streamers, politicians, actors, singers, etc. Originally it was a technical psychological term to describe the relationship but the term was adopted in the mainstream and it's been associated with more extreme examples bordering in delusion and stalking

[@thinkingsheep9141]

Irys stays on brand

[@remiremiremi111]

Did IRyS also think that paranormal means a large amount of normal?

[@bru9383]

I seriously wouldn't be surprised

[@yukiminsan]

we're the next step in human evolution

[@Yamoyashi]

surprised no one clipped this part of their streams yet

[@Godspeeds]

IRyS.....

[@remiremiremi111]

Came here to say this

[@watataenjoyer]

Remember when that girl sold engagement rings 😂

[@orangeapples]

I know who you’re talking about, but at the time engagement ring merch wasn’t that strange. I think Lamy also had it.

[@Karsh.]

I remember like a few weeks ago, when they started selling "Wedding day" voice lines.

[@Ausdrake]

@@Karsh. Regardless of how we might want to see it, Hololive still makes bank off parasocialism
Personally I try to ignore it (and avoid membership streams)

[@_mass_477]

​@@AusdrakeUnlike you, we all know it's just for fun and not taking it seriously

[@artgrey1933]

​@@_mass_477It's not about knowing it's just for fun. The problem is about how a corporate in a way try to exploit individuals with mental health issue to make a bank. Because the corporate knows the people with these issues are the most hardcore ones to donate and buy those stuff.

[@lyndis1306]

Worst readers: noel(only at the start tho), calli and irys
Props to kobo for live translating

[@jonpon-r6w]

No need to make it into a verb. "You're parasocial with me" works fine.

[@SKy_the_Thunder]

I know basically nothing about that game, so correct me if I'm grossly off here.
But I find it creepy that the MC gets together with the "hero" figure of that moment just because she felt indebted to him. Sounds like grade A trauma bonding. That's usually not a strong foundation for a healthy relationship.
And quite honestly, with no context it sounds like potential stalker behavior as well. "If I come in at the right time to save her from this creep, she will _have_ to love me!!!"

[@chronox1269]

It's been a while since I watched the game, but I'm pretty sure this is a bad ending. I think the twist is that the stalker, ex-boyfriend, and police officer were all in on it.

[@Solidaritas1]

@@chronox1269 that is correct...but more so that yes, the police officer was in fact in on it, but Rikiya was just an abuser and stalker in his own right IIRC.

[@samuelrodriguez5282]

How deep, truly poetic

[@Ice-mg5pr]

Wait, so is there no Japanese word for this concept, just the English loan-word? I know that it's a fairly new idea (at least in terms of general usage), but I would think Japan would have a native word for it.

[@firstnamelastname8439]

The English word only got made up in the last few years.
They could probably string something together, but just borrowing from English seems to be more fashionable in recent decades.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Creating native words is hard, loanwords are easier. Even English here is creating this new word by putzing around with Latin elements.

[@emonnyentrick]

I might remembering wrong but few year ago, my nation come up with native word for "online". It's "daring" which is portmanteau of "dalam jaringan" or "in network" in English. It is weird to me to use that

[@PnPP]

@@firstnamelastname8439 Parasocialism is a concept that has been studied since the 50s. The word existed for decades but mainly used within scholarly contexts.

[@TheKhairzNewtype]

​@@PnPPin the 50's? You reckon researcher studying it because people gotten too obsessed with celebrities over radio?

[@DanterRanitier]

Kobo the 🐐

[@jaycepentad9535]

ID guys built different with this stuff.

[@glen-k.2k5]

Wait, was she translating the text to Bahasa Indonesia on the spot?

[@AngellishV]

IRyS not beating the airhead ojou sama allegations.

[@Teeabee]

I kind of felt IRyS reaction tbh, I didn't really understand the definition either until more recently. It seemed like, a few years ago, you couldn't post any positive interaction between a VTuber and chat without someone wagging their finger at you going "no no no parasocial relationships are bad!" I thought to myself, nah that can't be it, but I had no idea what it could actually mean.

[@DelphinSquared]

I always felt like parasocial already existed in the entertainment industry, and Online personalities are just an extension of that.

[@comradeofthebalance3147]

No it has always been here. Think super fans of the 60s and 70s. With streaming, it has become much more defined. ‘positive interaction’ already means you assume you are personally having an exchange rather than consuming, years ago the word simp was that description as they were always more likely to donate. It can be bad in subtle ways such as someone who barely interacts with anyone has their messages read by the streamer and getting a response. This incorrectly alleviates the need for social interactions and allowing themselves to not need to talk irl as much. This research is still a child but we are getting there

[@tobubiify]

Parasocial are a social interaction and/or relationship between a person and an online persona.
No matter how severe

[@ViniuauCP]

@@comradeofthebalance3147 I've never thought about that before, when you mentioned how this kind of connection could alleviate the need for social interactions. If you got any DOIs to drop here, I'd love to read more about it.

[@Raidanzoup]

@@comradeofthebalance3147 I feel like old shows and movies from before the 2000s had zealous fans talking to posters of their favorite artists in their rooms, but these days people can be furiously typing into the chat of a livestream lol. Whether it's Beatlemania or MJ or the 90's boyband craze, people somehow end up imagining themselves just a little bit too close to the celebs they like.
The first time I really took any time to think about this was when I listened to a Giant Bomb podcast from around 2012/2013 and a listener email read something like "I've listened to you guys talk so much about your lives that I feel like we're old friends" and the guys on the podcast had to put their feet down and say that what you heard on the podcast/internet was like less than %5 of them as people.
The part about the brain hitting its quota for social interaction is so interesting, though.

[@nicodalusong149]

I think Koyori's actually right. That lighting was sus.

[@tobubiify]

I have a feeling most of the JP member thought it was just a cheeky title drop and not at all a thing IRL

[@momochiyoda2960]

JP invented the idol culture, ofc JP members knew this exist IRL. The Mayu Tomita incident happened a year before Sora's debut, that incident resulted in revisions to relevant JP stalker laws

[@LucyMaymake]

i love kobo 😂

[@bluebox2395]

parasocial is bad

[@qinoga]

What else are people going to do to not be lonely? Form real relationships? Hahaha
