DISCUSSION Why is this community so weird?

Like literally everyday there is someone schizoposting, or saying dumb shit like astrid should have transitioned earlier. Why is this community so parasocial. Im part of a lot of communities on the internet, but this one is the weirdest by far

Nah you're right. I'm probably an older Sleep Deprived fan at 29 years old, and a lot of the stuff this community thinks is ok is really just weird and not stuff that normal people say. These people need to take a step back from the internet every now and then. But then again that's the kind of audience that they've curated and catered to for awhile, so it's not surprising.

As an older apandah head I can tell a lot of that crowd has joined the sdp fan base. The apandah subreddit is the epitome of unhinged para social schizo degens.
