That's funny that you say that about Hortman when it was Kirk who broke from the pro-Israel party line and was almost immediately eliminated. Also why are you calling him Charlie? Did you personally know him?

- laimewhisps 1mo agoIt's generally considered parasocial to call famous people you don't know by their first name.
- pickleRick243 1mo agowhat? So everyone on earth is parasocial for calling Kobe Bryant Kobe?
- laimewhisps 1mo agoI mean, yes that's the definition of parasocial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction
- pickleRick243 1mo agoyour questioning made it sound abnormal. If this conversation were about Kobe Bryant and someone used "Kobe" to refer to him, would you have made your comment? Pretty clearly your criticism of parasociality doesn't have much bite if everyone is parasocial.
- laimewhisps 1mo agoWhile I think calling a basketball player by their first name is parasocial and lame, it doesn't compare to calling a white supremacist by their first name. That's just twisted.
