Talk:Parasocial Syndrome
Should this page include cases where people are influenced by real people instead of just fictional characters? Cases that come to my mind are Ricardo Lopez and John Hinckley Jr. — PooF9 (Talk | Contribs) 01:15, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
- Since you eventually went through with this, may I also suggest Kevin James Loibl? - Paul in the Mall (talk) 00:08, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
Why is Brian Cohee here?
PFPs alone shouldn't count for this. That's like saying Natalie Rupnow did it for Osaka. - Paul in the Mall (talk) 19:29, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- If James Seevakumaran is allowed here, I think Brian Cohee should too. — PooF9 (Talk | Contribs) 19:56, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
I'm not going to pretend like I know much about him—I don't—but I can't find anything about him wanting to be with Lian from Pokémon after he killed himself?? — PooF9 (Talk | Contribs) 00:17, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
The unknown Japs
I have a feeling that the unknown Japs who an hero'd don't actually exist. I cannot find anything to prove that they happened. If I am correct and Dink uses AI on here to write sometimes, I feel like he might have used AI to find more cases and the AI hallucinated these. — PooF9 (Talk | Contribs) 14:37, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
- I removed them. Biggest hint that points towards them never having happened is the fact the second Jap who an hero'd did it in 1999 over the anime Air which came out in 2005. But maybe it was not the anime and was the visual novel that the anime was based of, but even then it came out in 2000. Also removed Carolina Picchio because she didn't commit suicide for "her idol" Gigi D'Agostino. — PooF9 (Talk | Contribs) 22:57, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
Article rework?
Should this article be reworked to describe the actual condition of a parasocial syndrome, maybe listing off few notable examples, and the gamified Tarrantula-inspired article be renamed to something else (like "Parasocial killers")? Stoic Sigma 2 (talk) 23:12, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
