i see the parasocial aspect happen So Much in like discord servers people make to talk about their works i just think its shitty when people try to befriend someone just for the bragging rights or just bc of the project they made does that make sense. like "ohh haha im friends with the creator of my favourite series and youre not"

like i do get being excited but it feels different putting smaller creators on a pedestal like that?? or using them just as bragging rights?? bc again if youre bothering fckn. atlus bc they made the persona games they are a huge company they arent even gonna see that let alone be in a position where you can talk to the people directly. but seeing indie creators solely as the stuff they made and offering the same lack of respect just feels so shitty to me

#if im friends with anyone who makes cool shit im friends bc youre cool and awesome and youre my friend #you can stop making your thing forever you could be completely anonymous idgaf #like me personally i do go way out of my way to avoid the parasocialisms even if someone is “#''well known'' and whatnot bc thats still a person but still they usually have slightly more protections than like #someone who made a cool au for your favourite anime #seeing Them as a product too is so. that just sucks #i love being normal and remembering that people are in fact people #no idea if im wordsing right like hey maybe im just insane and nobody cares about this #but i know it would bother me to no end if i was nothing more than the stuff i make to my supposed friends #bc then the pressure to please them and keep updating and all that nonsense also racks up and jusy #idk #it would suck #dont be overfamiliar with me you dont actually knowwww meee
