    copium, they are probably like the fanfiction type of fans, superparasocial people that live and breathe harry potter. i know one shows where the fans were so obssesed with thier fictions in thier headsa bout the lgbtq+ fantasies of the “straight characthers” they made death threats against some recurring actors and scared them away from the show.

      I was referencing people I know. They’re normal fans that have a bit of merch and hide behind the “it’s my childhood” defense. Not terribly parasocial about it, but they’re furries. I think it’s more just the “God given American right” to believe that you’re in a protected, soft little bubble and none of your actions have consequences.
