Creators and Parasocial Relationships
Hello dearest fans. This is not a studio update post but rather a post about the boundaries for creators within our studio.
Before going any further, we would like to preface as a studio that we do enjoy and cherish any and all support given by fans! Fan content, interactions, and any kind of support you throw our way means the world to our creators.
However, due to an uptick in parasocial relationships regarding a number of our studio creators we would like to restate boundaries and clarify a few things.
Things that do not indicate a level of friendship/intimacy further than a fan and a creator
Positive or Friendly interactions on social media
Monetary Support of a creator
Liking, Reposting, or Commenting on Fan Content
The creators within Fluorescent Red Studios tend to be polite towards fans/fan content and in doing so their friendliness can be mistaken for friendship.
A few of our creators have chosen to step away from interacting with fans due to parasocial intimacy and bonds that are being forced upon them by fans.
Spam DMs demanding replies or answers
DM our Creators about things that do not relate to their work
Tag our Creators in posts that do not relate to their work
Idolize or Saint-ify our Creators
Sexualize or Thirst over our Creators
White knight or harass other people on "behalf*" of our creators
Participate in Witch Hunts on "behalf*" of our creators
Disregard posts about Boundaries
Complain about Creators Boundaries
* We will NEVER encourage hate or harassment of any person or group of people, at most we will recommend to not interact with a situation
If one of the creators from our studio blocks you, you are not entitled to an explanation, so please respect their decision and do not attempt to surpass their block. If you come to us and DM us or other studio creators in order to get an explanation, we will not respond.
At the end of the day, as uncomfortable as this may be to hear...
Unless a creator directly tells you otherwise, your relationship with them is purely fan and creator.
