Fellow fandom oldie here and no, it's absolutely not new. I remember people talking about being married to characters in the 90s. Heck, there was even a website you could go to that would generate a "marriage certificate" for you and the fictional character of your choice.

Yes, but those people were very clearly mentally unstable and everyone knew it.

So you admit that you were full of it when you said “parasocial stuff is new to fandom”. Because that’s exactly what it was back then too. Or are you going to back peddle now and insist that it totally didn’t count then?

Better phrasing would be parasocial relationships were treated like the mental illness they are back then and not normal like they are now.
