      “Discovered” even sounds slimy. Like they don’t ever think that is a person? It’s a weird objectification to me.

        It disrupts the parasocial relationship that the entire country is having with her. It’s not healthy for anyone involved.

      It’s happening in a smaller scale as a Twitch streamer parasocial relationships too. Although not as extreme as the idol culture in Japan and Korea. But the simps in the west can go to crazy length too. E.g. Belle Delphine bathwater stunt.
