Weird people
#summerdiary #lemon8contest people can be really freaking weird calling some celebrity they’ve never actually met daddy and stuff it’s weird and kinda grosses me out
Okay, so like, I totally get what the original post was saying. It's not just me, right? Seeing those 'daddy' comments pop up in live streams, especially when it’s directed at a young man who's just trying to share his day, like in those pictures – it can be super jarring. I mean, imagine someone with messy blonde hair, just smiling on a boat, and then suddenly the comments section is flooded with 'Heyyyy daddy' or 'DM me daddy.' It makes you do a double-take. I've been thinking a lot about why people do this. Is it irony? Is it a way to feel closer to a celebrity, a kind of parasocial relationship that's taken a weird turn? I’ve seen comments like 'Hiii from Mexico' or 'India,' which show people from all over the world are engaging, and it’s not always just a casual 'LIKE YOUR GLASSES' compliment. Sometimes it gets really intense, like 'I love you so much DM me daddy.' It blurs the lines between fan and something... else. It makes me wonder about the celebrity's perspective too. How do they feel when they're live, maybe just looking down with a serious expression, and they see these kinds of messages? Do they feel flattered, uncomfortable, or just try to ignore it? It's a tricky dynamic, because on one hand, fans want to feel seen – they want the celebrity to 'say hi to me.' But on the other, there's a boundary that probably shouldn't be crossed for comfort and respect. I think part of it comes from the intimacy of live streams. It feels like a direct connection, almost like you're talking to a friend. But it's important to remember there's still a screen between you, and that person, even if they have messy blonde hair and nice glasses, is still a public figure, not your actual parent or partner. It’s a performance, even if it feels authentic. So, what's the line? When does enthusiastic fandom become 'freaking weird' or 'gross,' as the original post mentioned? I guess it's when the comments start to feel less about appreciation and more about projecting personal desires or expectations onto someone they've never met. It’s a conversation we probably need to have more often as online interactions become more commonplace. Let me know your thoughts – have you seen similar comments, and how do you feel about them?
