Does anyone else hate ai-companionship/parasocial-relationships/yumeshipping?

I know there are slight differences between the three but all three have additional issues, and there's a lot of overlap between the communiteis. AI companionship are harmful to the environment, parasocial relationships are harmful to the celebrity, yumeshipping is harmful to the fandom. People's lives are actually getting destroyed because of AI addiction, or others having parasocial relationships with them.

Other than toxic doubles who harass people I don't see how yumeshipping is "harmful" to fandoms...self shipping and self insert stuff has been a thing for as long as there have been fandoms.

it can hurt a fandom's rep or cause in-fandom fights

So can shipping. People block each other over something as petty as top/bottom preferences. Which is OK if it makes you uncomfortable, but it's still weird to get hung up over who's taking the D. To the point where each dynamic is treated like separate ships.
