also reminder for everyone: do not take pictures with flash of newborn babies.
a friend of mine had a cat with severe eyesight problems because ppl kept taking pics with flash of it as soon as it was born and they fucked its eyes.
if it clearly doesnt have fully developed eyesight and you attack it with strong lights, you are a jerk.
and if it does have developed eyes, newflash, you should still consider "is this really needed?" because exposing animals (or ppl) to sudden intense flash without any comprehensible warning is a dick move
in case of doubt, do not. its that simple.

can gossiping qualify as "mass media"?
btw the thought process was basically "when exactly does something start to turn parasocial", while thinking about some hypothetical scenarios
if you go to wikipedia's article on parasocial interactions, it says "mass media" at the beginning and then just talks about digital media or similarly modern shit. but what about scenarios where this dont happen?
lets take medieval peasants for example. there was barely any mass media there, if any. yet, from what the world has told me, they sometimes got allthe prince is so ugly, we're gonna call him the fuckem ugly prince and he will go down in history as "that prince that was known by everybody as the fuckem ugly prince" "our princess is so nice, and we saw her from the distance last year's parade and she is the most beautiful ever, lets hope that $neighboor_country's prince will marry her"
(note that i havent really read much history, and im not saying that it happened all the time, but with it happening one time is enough for my thought experiment)
for a more simple hypothetical scenario that wont get historians angry at me, lets go with anime
you all know those anime series where somehow, there is a "student council president" or whatever who, somehow, is known by every student in the high school
scratch that, lets make it even simpler: yagami light, from death note. light is the equivalent of a schoolwide waifu, everyone in the high school/university knows about him, and i refuse to believe that he knew everyone back, and this case didnt feature "mass media" nor digital communication devices as the main cause of everyone knowing him. when exactly does "being popular" end and "this is turning into some parasocial shit" start?
i have turned this message into something horribly convoluted and confusing. ohwelp.
anyways, i was just thinking about, in an hypothetical real case scenario, where is the parasocial line drawn exactly. how many ppl that you've never talked to have to know who you are and hold emotions (be them good or bad) towards you to be considered a parasocial thing
i started the thought like 5-6 hours ago and then interrupted it abruptly, it wasnt this disorganized and poorly presented back when my brain was fully into it :v
