The video is a monologue from a social commentator discussing the phenomenon of internet fans treating influencers and celebrities as father figures or mothers. He uses the Twitter account of a streamer, Felps, as an example. Felps recently posted a clip where he addressed fans who view him as a paternal figure, expressing his discomfort with the situation.
The commentator discusses the concept of a "social relationship," where fans unilaterally form a bond with their favorite influencers or celebrities, often knowing more about them than the other person knows about them. He uses Felipe Neto as an example, stating that Neto's fans comment on his posts and use his profile photos, but Neto has no idea who these fans are.
The commentator argues that this kind of relationship is problematic when it leads fans to treat influencers as father figures. He uses an analogy of a person unintentionally calling their teacher "mother" to illustrate the absurdity of this. He also discusses the issue of fans expecting influencers to fulfill a role that is very difficult for them to fill, such as being a father figure.
The commentator expresses his fear of disappointing these fans, who see him as a father figure. He argues that it's important to become clear on the internet that influencers are just people trying to inspire and talk to their audience, not to become a parent figure. He concludes by urging fans to understand that influencers are just people there to inspire and talk to, not to fulfill a parental role.
