maybe it's like a roleplay thing? some kind of fusion of fanfiction and roleplay? idk
Maybe. The YouTubers I see doing it are essentially roleplaying. It's a lot of reading into shallow dialogue like Pokemon or Animal Crossing, and I think it's hitting some button in my mind where it feels particularly inauthentic. Like overblown reactions that feel too rehearsed or planned.
Which is funny, because I can enjoy video essays that go on for hours, and those are also artificial. Maybe it's the lack of pretense of it being a deliberate planned work? But also if I wanted to watch someone play a videogame, I'd rather watch my partner play or just play it myself and listen to their reactions.
I think I'm running into something with my neurodiversity, but I don't want to be hasty and blame a part of myself if it's another reason I'm not enjoying it.
