The newest and latest scourge of the internet, first discovered and popularized by SE++; a sassy and hip new goatse for the goatse fan in all of us!

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.

Better than goatse. The camera man got just the right angle for this one.

Origins: the Forumer know as Ferreousfrom the Penny Arcade Forums, linked Bergy, and then Bergy pm'd it to boddah, and the rest is history. Lensman history.
