Talking about using the term fan- I wonder if Dan has watched Hank Green’s new video on vlogbrothers- it’s an interesting analysis of the creator side of the parasocial relationship

really hope he watched it because it was genuinely so good! i'd love for dnp to have that kind of open discussion about their perception of their community now and how they think of us as a collective/what emotions they feel when thinking about their community

#anon ask #also what hank said about how he has to remember the collective is made up of individuals with a shared interest but who are different #if im being brutally honest im still not convinced dnp fully understand their audience as much as they think #bc they essentially only interact with twitter phandom who's ages skew younger and have different motivators in how they engage in fandom #do they assume the average viewer is still a good 10 years younger than them? are they more aware that a lot of us are their age or older? #do they think we all have the same perspectives because twitter is so vocal about theirs? is in the younow chat all over again? #IM SO INTERESTED DNP CAN WE SIT DOWN IN A ROOM I WANT TO STUDY YOU
