following by the same line of thinking of 'e-dating' i think yes
i dont think so, most people (not you but i mean most) confuse long distance phase of a ltr couple and edating. in the ldrphase of the ltr couple, they kinda "remember" what they feel and duplicate them back to back with stimuli (voice via talking to each other etc) and in edating its like they've never felt all of the stimuli before
if it was really the case i dont think people who have been simulating themselves with edating or media would want to tire themselves out by actually being in love
that would be an issue of authenticity which i won't touch. for the upper text, for sure it must be a stretch to say this is easily simulated by media, but it does happen. and yes i am exclusively referring to those who were contained to the e-dating. i've observed it, an anecdote, not of myself, but they do act differently, which is the only thing i can say from this observation is that they do feel something different from usual. anyway, don't you find obsession with VTubers weird? maybe not love, but it's close to infatuation by phenomenon of media alone
@bold: yeah dude i mean that "connection" or an feeling of emotional pairing will exist of course, even u and me talking here -- if we do it long enough we will be friends etc. u get what i mean.
and edating just sexualizes it and takes it up but it cant even be close to real life love with all our senses integrated -- touch, visual, speech, hearing, smell and thoughts.
edating is like 2 of our 6 senses -- speech and thoughts, imagine all the other 4 added. it would explode a lot of emotions for sure. thats why i believe oneitism is very real -- they might not be the hottest or the "best" looking but u connect with them on so many different senses if u catch my drift
in short, im saying there is indeed something but whatever there is, its not love.
and no clue about being obsessed with vtubers
