Hasan Piker believes that the accessibility of streamers facilitates intense parasocial relationships that can shift rapidly between love and hatred.

“The only reason why it's uh it's it's, you know, having a lot of impact in this space is because streamers are endlessly accessible. That's why. And people develop parasocial relationships that can go either in either direction. Either tremendous amounts of love or tremendous amounts of hatred.”

Streamers should exercise extreme caution with viewers because they do not know the true intentions of those behind the screens.

“And let's be honest, 90% of the time their intentions aren't good. So, I guess we'll see what happens in this case and [music] what happens to Black Cat. Hopefully, he's put behind bars for life.”

Creators bear responsibility for encouraging unhealthy parasocial fixations among their fanbase.

“The reason these accounts persist is cuz they know he's there to give them attention.”

Hasan Piker's audience experiences a sense of accessibility because they can interact with him directly through chat, unlike with traditional media figures.

“He's also accessible. People can just write chat messages and get [music] directly to him. You can't do that with Rachel Maddow.”
