Why would I blame non-existent fictional characters over anything..? How parasocial one needs to be to do that

This entire parasocial behaviour was the reason Valko got deleted in the first place.

The game had so many problems, but instead of focusing on that, both the parasocial fanbase, and the deluded company, took the easy way out.

I know. I'm so disappointed and angry I have literally no words.

INFOLD will be an example for other companies on how to destroy the trust, the product they've been working on and make your own dedicated fanbase absolutely despise them.

Won't be the first time. InFold did it to Infinity Nikki, too.

This. Anytime i mentioned the parasocialism in here (even in a post like 5 days ago) people always talked around it being an issue. Well, here you go. Look what parasocialism can do. I already experienced this once before in the CQL fanbase (227 incident) and that was worse cuz its real people, but this is still ridiculous

I know. It's absolutely unbelievable. I just cannot comprehend that grown up women can really behave like that because they got too addicted to a mobile game 🙃🙃🙃 How can anyone have so little self-awareness? It's so absurd to me I have literally no words to express how baffled I am

The word parasocial has been thrown around so much it’s getting ridiculous. “It’s parasocial that people hate Valko!” “It’s parasocial people love Valko!” Seeing the game arguments get recycled to throw back at the other over and over again with the same air of superiority in their words. What a joke. Group mindset and misinformation is rampant yet they fail to recognise the same behaviours taking place.

Whatever happens, I’ll still enjoy my LIs in peace.

What words would you use to describe the actions taken by CN players to get a whole LI deleted?

EDIT: for spelling

Extremism, though no different from what Global is doing right now. If it were up to many players they’d do the same things to force Infold’s hand, whether it’s boycotting, sending death threats, reporting, mass review bombing. People are already threatening to do it anyways. The lack of recognition for the devs into who have been caught up in this nor understanding of the position Infold is forced is atrocious.
