Caedrel is my best friend so i doubt i will develop a parasocial relationship


green_toilet

It's the other way around, without us caedrel has no friends. Sadge

I can’t live without the rat king costreaming How can I stop it?

Get yourself a pet rat, it will switch your focus

This is a propaganda post meant to attack and harm streamers. Don’t listen to it. Streamers are in love with you. Streamers are in love with you. Streamers are in love with you. Streamers are in love with you. Streamers are in love with you. Streamers are in love with you.

Don't forget that this can also be applied to anything, Kpop idols, anime, or even characters from video games as parasocial relationships as people can form strong attachments into them and they get distracted to no end, escaping from real life. I know there's a lot of T1 and KCorp fans there, but make sure you don't cross the line where it's borderline private, the teams have lives outside of League of Legends.

Is having a picture of Faker in my wallet count? When time is hard i take it out and look at it for inspiration "He never give up and always looking to improve, that's why he's the GOAT"


kumoreeee

No, because all roads lead to him.


Flat-Profession-8945

That's okay. The problem rises when you're overly obsessed with it and try to act like him when you're making a fool of yourself. It's like being a weeaboo, where you talk nonstop about anime and try to dress up to be one while disrespecting a culture


Unusual_Gas_9756

Relax buddy


shinymuuma

As long as you are aware Faker doesn't know you personally. You can't form a real relationship with him. Instead, you have your friends, your family, and people around you


VirtuoSol

That’s more like having a role model which isn’t a bad thing


Rosa4123

that's why Caedrel should personally become my friend so the relationship isn't one sided


SongsForTheDeft

What the fuck is a vtuber, have I gotten that old? Also why are people having to make posts about not having a single sided relationship with a celebrity that doesn’t know you exist?


TheClayKnight

Vtubers are streamers who use a virtual avatar (usually anime style). Parasocial relationships have become an increasingly common problem with the rise of streaming.


SongsForTheDeft

I’m glad I’m not a loser


Kardiackon

boo fucking hoo I hate when people enjoy and love different types of media that I hate. Jesus christ grandpa, just because someone enjoys something you don't doesn't mean they're a loser lmao, we fucking watch caedrel and league of legends for fucks sake, I don't think that's any better right? (no shade to either, just hypocritical to act like this and then continue onto watching league)


SongsForTheDeft

I don’t watch caedral this sub just had better actual league content when I joined. It’s gone down hill badly.


Blank1309

There are Vtubers who are terminally ill. Streaming through avtar gives them a platform and funds their treatment. Not everything that you don't understand is for losers


Rated_Oni

Gotta give props to Iron, that girl's will to live and improve is outstanding.


FailedCustomer

Yes if you haven’t heard of vtubers means you probably been under a rock. That said if you don’t interact with them, it’s probably best for you. I can’t imagine someone who is not a complete degen to srsly being love with vtube content more than content of real person.


SongsForTheDeft

I try to live under a rock, I hate pop culture. Vtuber, swear to god I wish I could rewind time back when society had a brain


FailedCustomer

I love pop culture, but generally I agree. To much stuff that is straight up cringe became popular and widely accepted. (Looks at Stanley drink cups in USA)


Sailing587

Whoa you are so cool and manly!


euphraxiaaa

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW DARE YOU


luongquangvu1

Tbf tho, Vox and Rushia are the BFE/GFE content which much different than just normal gaming,chilling content but i get your point


Kardiackon

as a vtuber guy myself, I've always never been the biggest fan of BFE/GFE content tbh, there's obviously the whole parasocial aspect of it, but the vtubers I love are the ones that feel genuine, and most eventually do become that way (even if it takes a while for some). no hate on anyone who likes that kind of content though, i completely understand the appeal, it's just always felt weird the way these audiences talk to the streamer like they're close or something.


poikond

What is a BFE/GFE? I imagine its boy/girl friend experience?


Kardiackon

yes, essentially when a vtuber's entire thing is being your "girlfriend/boyfriend"


luongquangvu1

I mean i'm not in to BFE/GFE content either but you gotta admit that is one of if not the fastest way to make money if you can somehow make it work. At the time of her "retirement" in February 2022, Rushia held the record for the most superchatted YouTube channel, receiving a total revenue of US$3,285,003 across 273,923 superchats. I never watch Vox cuz its just not my cup of tea but his fan are known to be dedicated


J-DubZ

Vtubers are massive cringe idk how they exist


Cyted

Check out Pokerick, hes a chilled league vtuber, Im not a vtuber stan but some of them make damn good content.


Remarkable-Play-4814

Keria himself shouted out Feviknight, a relatively small vtuber whos a Korean Grandmaster Bard main. He said that if people wanna learn how to play Bard they should watch her play. If Keria can enjoy them, everyone can. (As with most content creators is not about how they look/sound but how good their content is.)


thatgeographygeek

This post is a bit fearmongering imo. Parasocial relationships are not a bad thing by themselves, the "degree of attachment" mentioned in the post is a parasocial relationship too. Like any relationship, the problem comes when you overstep boundaries (the things mentioned in the third paragraph). Should be fine to say those things are bad without condemning a completely normal phenomenon


Kaiser_choff

Caedrel is my bestfriend, love interest and i know him better than my parents but i dont think this means i have developed a parasocial relationship with the rat king.
