"Puritanical Fandom Karen" somehow seems like a contradictory term, but it's probably just me.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think this would fall under any reasonable definition of the term "parasocial relationship"

[(Anonymous)]

Bold of you, OP- I often end up regretting actually reading anything about the people... I prefer to just browse photos.

That said, I know these PFKs of whom you speak and yeah, some folks do tend to over-police the "parasocial relationships" and everything even kind-of of that ilk.

I think they're pretty, I'm fully aware I'm not their significant other ;P

[(Anonymous)]

I thought everyone did this.

[(Anonymous)]

I totally get the whole "admire their beauty" thing. I'm the same way :D. It is very relaxing, isn't it?

And I wouldn't personally say simply reading an occasional article about someone you like falls under the kind of "parasocial relationship" definition you hear people talk about nowadays, but I can also understand you keeping that to yourself all the same, just in case.

'Puritanical Fandom Karen' sounds like a strawman if I ever heard it.

[(Anonymous)]

Neurotypical Karen thinks Puritanical Fandom Karen should try yoga.

Yes, it's been a dark, dark year for me but I've ascertained beyond a doubt that looking at fave celebs in and out of character makes me smile.

I have to be a bit more careful about reading articles or watching videos of celebs, but when I choose well, those are pretty reliable mood boosters too.

Parasocial relationships, is that what the kids are calling celebrity crushes these days?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you, but I watch interviews and promotional shows instead (Asian BL series and movies have a multitude of these). They never cease to make me smile and cheer me up.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm totes with you, OP.
I do the same thing! For me, certain celebs make me happy looking up their interviews (Bill Hader is a ray of sunshine) or interviews/instagram/twitter (Pedro Pascal-another joy).
It saddens and annoys me that (even here) the moment anyone mentions looking up a celeb on social media or having a vague interest in their lives is instantly labelled "parasocial".
Just let people have a fucking celebrity crush! The vast majority of the time they aren't harming anyone with their crush and, if anything, it adds joy to the their lives.

i don't mind toxic bullshit being portrayed as romantic, but i also think the toxicity of bullshit being the focus can be equally as fun

[(Anonymous)]

I think there's a difference between wanting the source material to acknowledge the toxicity and demanding that the fan works do so.

Eh, I kinda get what you're saying. It's hard not to feel a little sad that something you liked didn't get noticed to that extent. Especially if it's something you really like.

But I try to channel the energy away from the negative and see it as a win in the end. "At least X film or Y show has led more people to discovering my favourite thing." And I've definitely been there myself where something bigger has sent me on a pathway to discovering more in that genre, or that language etc.

Setting aside the merits of the point, yeah, Sarah Silverman is extremely not the person to be a messenger here for a myriad of reasons.

I’m with you, OP. I get that it’s meant to be nice, but the last thing I need is a reminder that people might be paying that much attention to how much or what I eat. I’ve spent plenty of time trying to convince myself that other people don’t care or notice as much as I fear they do.
