My infinite respect to creators and personalities on the internet who set clear boundaries between them and their audience, both in a "there's an obvious power dynamic at play here" way and in a "that's a human person, please don't be weird at them just because you like their stuff" way

#ragsycon exclusive #was watching the will wood farewell stream last night and him going 'hey stop that. that's weird' was nice to hear #but all the superchats from fans were essentially 'i want you to recognize me from one of your shows please tell me I'm special'#felt really uncomfortable because like. fans want their fave to know they exist i guess which is fair #and this goes for other creators too #like asks like 'ive been following you since 2006 and i met you at a con once!' like. what... is that supposed to mean to the artist #to me it just says 'i feel like im a bigger fan than other people because I've been following you for sooooooo long'#'and i desperately want you to like me (a literal stranger) and i want your approval'#dunno. just musing
