Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
I can’t believe that creator encourages parasocial relationships with his fans...

Man what a parasocial relationship :/

A way for 'religious types' to say damn without offending others of their ilk.

More importantly, its a way of releasing anger when something happens, but unlike the originator - "Damn", it doesnt roll off the tongue so easily and would appear to repress the repressed 'religious types' even moreso than if they had gone all out and said the word "Damn"

A child-friendly version of the word damn, created by a bunch of retards at the Catholic Church, due to the word's religious significance, but is now ridiculous to teach in our growing liberal society, and because it has the exact same damn meaning as damn.
6 year old boy: Dammit! I hate my life! I hate my damn school! I hate my damn parents! I hate my damn brother! I hate that we're damn poor! I just wanna kill myself, damnit!

Mom: (gasp) You can't say damn! That's a bad word! Say darn instead.

6 year old boy: That sounds stupid! I wanna say damn!

Mom: If you say damn anymore, God is going to send you to hell when you die!

6 year old boy: Oh, okay, I'll say darnit instead.
