    It happens both in Japan and Korea…this is really insane. There was a celebrity weather forecaster girl in Japan and when she was discovered outrage was crazy

      “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.
