✦ Class Description ✦

Parasocial relationships are inevitable. Between musicians, artists, YouTubers, and even sex educators, the way we interact creates a sense of connection. Parasocial relationships are the relationships between an artist, educator, or creator and the consumer.

This connection can often be exploited by those holding parasocial power by overstepping privacy or autonomy. Demystifying Parasocial Relationships is a class about understanding how to hold parasocial power more ethically. We'll discuss how to have a parasocial relationship as a fan that is healthy, grounded in reality, and that doesn't see people as infallible.

Being raised around musicians, filmmakers, and artists, The Lady V was exposed early to both sides of the coin when it came to parasocial behaviors. She saw those who held parasocial power abuse it, and saw fans massively overstep boundaries.

We'll discuss:

• Understanding the difference between enjoying an artist, educator, or content creator and performing unhealthy parasocial behaviors
• Holding parasocial power with grace and creating an ethics code
• How to navigate community as a loved one of someone with parasocial power mindfully

The topic of parasocial relationships being exploited is constantly discussed in the creatorsphere on both ends, being exploited by those who hold it and their fans as well. Being on the receiving end of parasocial behaviors can seem like projection of fantasy or dismissal of reality. We'll talk about how to realistically and ethically enjoy arts, education, and more, while still treating people with power objectively.
