parasocial doesn't apply to the vtuber. This term exclusively refers to the one way relationship between audience and performer, in one direction. People say their vtubers are "parasocial for chat" but this is just a cope to be able to say that their chuba is just like them fr fr.
The relationship between the streamer and chat (collectively) is peculiar and does often involve affection but it is NOT "parasocial". What the streamer feels for the viewer and what the viewer feels for the streamer couldn't be more different, the constraints are different, the power balance in these relationships is different, the whole framing is different.
Maybe someone should coin an actual term for what a streamer feels for their chat, because I haven't seen a proper one yet.

Yes I will continue to autistically and pedantically cling to an academic definition of a term even when everyone else has already moved on from it, forever.

no, i appreciate it. i dislike vtubers that pretend the scale is balanced when in reality not getting your comment read is enough to break a parasocial gachi while she's getting all the attention she wants and needs 24/7. the difference is so obvious it's a joke to pretend there's a real relationship there.

Lolitubers in general are inclined to be much more parasocial than most streamers. Probably has to due with the sort of mental illness that makes you wanna LARP as a little girl

Firefox on Android runs some of the plugins. Dunno if you can get sound to work, but maybe?

IMO this board just needs to get webm sound enabled already.
