parasocial is a good word for the mysterious accounts that haven't made a post in 15 years but still file reports

Ricky: Lucy's all pissed cuz I was doing pen pals with some chicks online while I was in Jail. She says it's a Parasailing Relationship, which is hosed cuz I've never even been on a boat.

i think by definition a parasocial relationship is like when some guy named stinkfinger87 keeps a spreadsheet of the meals you post on insta but also youve never heard of him

Posting in the same thread about the same topic while knowing nothing about one another personally doesn’t make you friends. That’s weird parasocial poo poo to think so.

Anyways, that SYQ just struck me dumbfounded. Like when GBS goons were discovering the concept of friendship after the boxing day blowup.

A parasocial relationship is when people got really invested in John Mulaney having a happy marriage right

yes, it's when you form a one-sided relationship with some kind of celebrity or whatever, because you consume content that you think gives you an insight into their life and personality. You feel like you are their friend, but they don't even know you exist.

Posting on an internet forum with other people who post back at you is the opposite, it's just a social relationship.

we can't hold it against them too much then, it makes sense that someone would come away from that thinking that a bunch of people posting in the same forum being "friends" would be weird
