I’m amused by the backlash against my nothingburger response. Parasocial relationships are a helluva drug.

The backlash was because your response is ambiguous, it was likely interpretted by the people criticizing you as a legitimate question rather than your intended sarcasm.
I’d expect most or nearly all people active in this conversation agree that parasocial relationships are bad but you’re continuing on like their criticism of your communication is an endorsement for celebrity worship.

Nobody is obsessing. Nobody can’t understand why people wouldn’t care.

Yeah but mountain goats are pretty cool
