What's Up with Parasocial Relationships?

from Banter and Belief · host Banter and Belief

In this episode, we start with a catch-up on life, including just how expensive holiday prep can be and our shared love for The Lord of the Rings. We also shout out the people we admire including celebrities and friends who inspire us daily.From there, we get into the main conversation around parasocial relationships and how unhealthy fan behaviour can become, especially within certain online spaces. We unpack toxic fan culture, with a special look at reality TV fandoms and the intensity of BB Naija supporters.We wrap up with an honest conversation about womb watching, why Nigerians need to mind their business when it comes to women’s bodies, and how social media comments can do real harm.
