For anyone thinking of having a Star in their campaign, I thought this NYker profile was fascinating. It’s profiling a livestreamer, whose life is built around the things his fans may demand of him. This is one of several unsettling examples.
“The disruptive power of the community was on everyone’s mind. For the past six months, Denino had been struggling with fans over his girlfriend, a platinum-blond streamer named Caroline. Viewers thought that she was taking him away from the stream and using him to boost her own career; they called her “the leech.” They bombarded the subreddit with hateful posts about Caroline and Denino, approached the couple in real life to harass them, and staged a boycott that cut Denino’s viewership and revenue by a third, demanding that he break up with her. Denino resisted for months—Caroline made him happy—but eventually he relented. “It just got too much, dude,” he told me. “It was just easier to break up with her than to deal with it.” He showed me a chart of his earnings, which had doubled the week after he and Caroline broke up.”
Ahhhh, this is great stuff. Brian Poe will also be interested…
I love how this can inspire a game, but my god what a weird life.
This is very disturbing. But yes, lots of Star inspiration there.
I have seen so much bad shit come up when Ice Poseidon’s name is anywhere
Yeah, this is interesting as a fictional idea, but horrifying as reality.
