Why does Sora normalize extreme parasocial behavior when she's supposed to be a role model for all who partake in this hobby?

>>103862019 (OP)
To gatekeep normalfag grifter anti-parasocial whores from entering.

>>103862118
Yeah like nimi

>>103862118
clearly doesn't work

>>103862339
That's why she's the Goddess, creates the standard, and heathens fall short.

>>103862019 (OP)
it's an act
she's a professional seiyuu

Because Sora unironically is parasocial with people in general.
She's a glorious freak and I love her for it.
God I want to be stalked by Sora.

>>103862716
Very achievable, just learn JP and be active.

>>103862019 (OP)
she is doing the right thing, no lore drops, no "parasocial fucks", no we are not friends, no platonic shit, no improve yourself

>extreme parasocial behavior
There is nothing extreme about wanting to know your fans and care about them

>>103862862
Jeez Anon don't let EN chuubas hear that, it'll crush their worldview

Can we get Sora on /vt/ so she help identify all the schizos?

>>103862019 (OP)
Because she's a based hag

>>103862862
>wanting to know your fans and care about them
fucking parasocial freak you are ruining the hobby with your creepy and dangerous behavior

>>103862019 (OP)
>supposed to be bla-bla-bla
According to who? (You)? Sit the fuck back down.

>>103862019 (OP)
>parasocial

>Parasocial
The same Sora who did a full Holostars collab and shills them every chance she gets?

>>103862019 (OP)
To keep whining faggots like you out.

>>103865381
Yes, why you ask?, are there any other "Sora" around?

Tourists when they realize that being parasocial has been a core part of vtubing since the beginning

Eternal reminder that streaming is parasocial by its very nature. The entire business model is built on manufacturing faux-intimacy. The streamer shares curated details of their life and talks to the chat like it's a single friend. But it's a performance. It's content. It's a product you are consuming. Even those who scream "PARASOCIAL" and throw it around like an insult while simultaneously saying how much they love their streamer is, in fact, parasocial in nature. The cognitive dissonance is built on a false understanding of the term ad it's truly a sight to behold.

>>103863572
now she is
but she wasn't always one

>>103866063
I agree with you. But what if the streamer sees themselves as a 'barista' of sorts? Would you agree with that comparison?

>>103866267
If by agree you mean if I consider that also a parasocial relationship, then I do. If you are an active fan of them, then even if the streamer sees themselves as a barista, it fits the bill.

>>103862019 (OP)
it was never about parasocialness for me, but the purity culture that has male collabs invalidate 100s of preexisting streams
we have a male collaber being this obsessed with her fans and somehow unicorn friendly chuubas who barely stream are "more GFE"

>>103862862
This.
Fans are the core of an idol. They support her and she supports them. Sora knows her boundaries and doesn’t go with the “I am your girlfriend” stuff, but an entertainer that talks to them occasionally.

>>103862862
But anon she is NOT our friend....

>>103867046
How does one be a homo collaber and still be any level of parasocial? A parasocial homocollaber is an oxymoron.

>>103867046
Do it once
Can do it again
Just how it works

>>103862862
That's called egosurfing.

>>103862019 (OP)
You know she had a breakdown when she came home after the CC 3D afterparty.

>>103862019 (OP)
Because unicorns and parasocialism built this hobby. No matter how much you pretend that isn't the case, it's correct.

>>103862019 (OP)
I need Sora to stalk me online

>>103862019 (OP)
How else is she supposed to make money? By doing porn like everyone else?
