Doja Cat, Her Fans & Parasocial Relationships

Doja Cat has been eating her fans up the last few months and recently her relationship with problematic comedian J. Cyrus has her fans divided on wanting to support her. Doja has told her fans that she doesn't know them and that she doesn't really care what they think. She's not wrong about the critique on fans and their parasocial relationships with celebrities and artist but also they play a role in maintaining said relationship.

Someone mentioned something important in relation to Doja, she clearly dislikes her fans being all up in her business but she literally LIVES on the internet. She's always tweeting, doing lives (& tiny chats), she fueled these relationships by constantly interacting with her fans, even to an unhealthy extent. The solution to this problem is so simple she should just hire someone to handle her social media and logoff. Yes her fans need to understand boundaries but at the end of the day that is the price of fame. She isn't the first celebrity to go through this ND unfortunately she won't be the last, but she should learn from her peers ND take a step back. At the end of the day those stans have made her what she is and it's gonna bite her in the ass when her records don't sell.

I agree with her when it comes to parasocial relationships and treating the artist you support as some untouchable god/goddess that you know personally, when you don’t. I have a huge problem with Stan culture. But there are people who support her who see her latest behavior and actions as quite odd, and she can’t handle the criticism. She is hanging out with a really questionable person to say the least, and she’s lashing out at people who would defend her. tbh this whole ordeal shows why worshiping celebrities is such a bad thing to do.

[@BooDotBoo]

@@757Princess So, she's sort of creating the issue she's upset about? Interesting... Now, her comments about going to be alone make sense, BUT it still won't erase the issues she's created. She should just take a page out of the book from some other celebs; they post relevant things about themselves (tours, albums drops, merch drops, appearances, movies, etc), might even post a meme or two every now and again, drop some pictures, might make a post about supporting some recent hashtag or something, but other than that, they stay quiet. I like celebs who move that way, tbh. I don't want or need to know about them like that.

Her response is completely annoying, bc her fans know she doesn’t know them, and when a celebrity says they love their fans we know what they mean, so her talking about it so literally is ridiculous.

I agree. She knew damn well what they meant. 😑 She just wanted to play dumb and be nasty. It’s just upsetting because a lot of her fans are young and there’s a good chance that she was talking with a child like that. I remember when Michael Jackson spoke about the time he caught Madonna being rude to a fan and he checked her on the spot in front of everyone. You can have boundaries. But don’t disrespect the people who love your work enough to spend their last dime on your concerts/albums. At the end of the day, the labels use the fans’ perception of you in order to gage whether or not they should drop you. Maybe Doja is self-sabotaging because she wants to go back to being normal. That’s valid. But she shouldn’t take it out on other people, especially young people who are very emotionally fragile. That’s what made me lose respect for her.

All of this doja stuff really makes me glad I gave up on stan culture many years ago.

I think that a lot of people tend to forget that these celebrities live in a completely different reality from us regular folk. Not to say that celebrities can't be genuinely good ,down to earth people but at the end of the day when you accumulate millions and millions of dollars your no longer a regular common folk and your attitude towards life and people in general changes and usually not for the better I still do like celebrities and follow them to a certain degree but the days of heavy stanning on social media are long gone and I feel alot better that I did

I think certain celebrities are actively manipulative. I may be popping a tendon with the reach, but the extreme end of this type of dynamic can turn nasty fast (thinking of Ballinger and various other characters, certain fanbases having legal action being filed against them because of the alleged encouragement to engage in hate campaigns, etc.). Public figures being able to just enter people’s dms, sometimes vulnerable people, has always felt iffy to me because of the power dynamics. They attract and court some seriously obsessive behaviour, which is part and parcel of such high investment and attachment. Society needs to catch up and fast, I feel like we’re still behind on internet phenomena even though it’s been a part of daily life for 2 decades.

[@juicyparsons]

I can see it and don't think you're reaching. I can imagine it's a topic that's being researched and written about tbh

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

You're not reaching. Doja is mentally disturbed and has attracted, among others, other mentally disturbed people. Because she is into humiliation, it stands to reason that she could be into humiliating others as well, people who may be on a ledge that she could push off. Not everyone just goes one way. A person like her should not have a fanbase. She needs therapy, not fame.

[@shorty63136]

I don’t think you’re reaching either. You only touched on it at the end, but the ratio of media literacy is incredibly low compared to the media consumed. At some point, we have to tip from simply consuming for fun (we’re already knee deep in info-tainment that gets chaotic) to actually understanding what’s happening TO US with the media we consume. And I’m defining “media” here as the actual definition: the plural/multiple mediums of sharing/consuming info & content (not “the media” as in news outlets). Media literacy is what I was studying for my masters degree, so this is all super interesting (and concerning).

[@cinnamonaries2024]

Your not reaching..you made valid points

[@amandadunn7678]

No, she wasn't wrong but, her response was very rude and off-putting. It's not what you say but, how you say it. For a year now, I've been noticing how emotionally unintelligent she is (for ex. with that "Stranger Things" kid, Noah Schnapp).

[@alkahinat4558]

This Doja Brat situation is so interesting, because it’s a lesson in how the relationship between an artist and their fanbase is symbiotic, you can’t reach a certain level without significant public support. Now 800k people have apparently unfollowed her on Instagram, the public are realising their power Yes her comments about not loving people she doesn’t know are valid, yet days before she was tweeting ‘love you guys!’ When talking about her upcoming tour. The same fandom name she lambasted her fans for, is one she has chosen for them previously. Telling people to get jobs and put down phones is ludicrous, coming from someone who is constantly online, being an overgrown troll. Too much hypocrisy and inconsistency. Denigrating people for liking your previous music, is a self drag rooted in feelings of inadequacy and wanting to be accepted and validated by music snobs/purists. It’s actually quite sad, because you can tell most of this is misdirected anger and she’s really mad at her label. And if she is doing all this to lose support, it’s definitely working 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@hawa_88]

[@shennamyricks5292]

Uh-uhhhh, don't give her a pass on a-hole behavior. She's the one that kept constantly telling her fans I love you, I love you. Then when they ask if she loves them it's "I don't know y'all". She's the one getting mad at her fans and degrading them for calling themselves Kittens when she literally posted a pole asking them to give themselves a name because she felt wrong naming them herself and gave them the option of Kittens or Cubs. That was all her doing. Now she wants to act the azz bc her fans are doing what she had them do?? Nahhh, uh-uh. Yes, stay out of her personal life sure, but the rest of that mess she's been spouting is foolishness.

[@mielissa100ify]

She comes across as a girl in high school who wants to be edgy so bad so she says things like I only listen to older music because everything today sucks. I feel like I was born in the wrong era.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

No, everything today does not suck. When y'all say this, y'all out yourselves as lazy. If you have any streaming service, the music out now is actually INCREDIBLE. But you actually have to look beyond Top 40 crap. And even the Top 40 has a bop or two, so y'all be exaggerating. Also, expand your palette. Are you only listening to American music? Listen to music from all over the world. Music is awesome right now, but if you limit what you listen to, you're just loud and wrong.

@@mielissa100ify I read the comment, and I agree with SoWhat. You obviously aren't going outside of a specific sphere if ALL the music you hear is bad. And being born in the wrong "era" stuff is always speak for "I know nothing about those times except the nostalgic, good stuff, not any of the bad stuff, so I'm romanticizing it". Don't get mad because that other comment read you correctly, lol. I love older music, even all the way back to the 50s black rock and roll, but find plenty of new stuff that sounds similar or better, so maybe expand what you listen to.

[@aj2thamaxx742]

The whyte peen worship from Doja Cat is wild to me. Let’s start there 😂. Also, I think she has the right to express her upset with her fans not respecting her boundaries. However, I still can’t get my head around trashing her fans for liking her previous albums. I can understand that music labels will make you create music that you otherwise wouldn’t create, and there is a valid space for criticism there however, criticizing your fans for liking your music is weird to me. In my opinion, Doja Cat needs to slowly, but surely remove herself from her current online presence, and there is still time to do that in my opinion, but that’s up to her.

I wasn’t even surprised by this stuff with Doja because she’s always been like this. I’ve never thought she was a good person, I just genuinely enjoy her music. I think she’s really talented but she’s also an asshole and a bit of a d*ckhead lol. I need fans to realize that these celebrities are not and never will be our friends. I think this is a right message wrong messenger situation because what she’s saying is true but she’s literally only saying this now because she doesn’t like what the fans are saying about her relationship. I think more celebrities do need to come out and explain to these fans that their “relationships” with them are not real and that they’re just here to entertain and that’s it because Stan culture is dangerous and disgusting.

[@kenyattagibson6389]

I think she wants to have the antihero fame if Azealia Banks(which is ironic cause Azealia Banks right now is trying to have her ACTUAL fame, which she NEVER will(while at the same time having the megastar hero fame of Beyoncé. But theres an obvious huge biracial struggle aspect ro this mixed in with being raised in an all white environment. Doha Cat basically cosplays as a weird black girl and immediately takes off her costume as soon as the cameras stop.

[@lillybilly9954]

Great point about being programmed to have parasocial relationships. It’s very easy to dismiss fans as being losers and having no life, but that’s the lazy conversation that celebrities like to engage in.

[@BePatientSeeLove]

I find myself trying to not get attached to these mf simple as that

[@justtester_9962]

Doja has been exhibiting all the signs of somebody with ADD or ADHD(not quite Bi-polar like Kanye) since the beginning, and it's surprising to me that after all this time that she or anybody around her still don't seem to be aware of this even with all the information that's available out there. Her use of substances became a coping mechanism, but I also think that her lack of maturity and common sense play a part in this. Since she exhibiting a lot of Alpha behavior it maybe hard for anybody around her to have enough guts to call her out.

[@craigjones1946]

It speaks to a bigger issue of celebrity /idol worship but Doja Cat just a weird person in general. She’s only speaking against parasocial relationships/Stan culture because she was being called out for a questionable but personal life choice she’s making but when it was benefiting her positively (selling millions of records, etc) she had nothing to say lol that’s the hypocrisy of the situation. She literally gave her fans the name that she’s criticizing them for embracing. That’s like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B telling the Barbz and Bardigang that their losers with no life for calling themselves that lol

[@tywilliam3225]

Celebrities culture is slowly dying with this stupidity of fans & social media. Dojo Cat is not wrong what she says about she doesn’t know her fans. Because she never hang out with her fans. Dojo Cat is those people who don’t give a F*ck about anyone else but herself. However, She is real about herself. Dojo Cat is weirdo but she know she is a weird woman with a quirky personality. That’s why people like her or envy her because she is herself without being fake.

[@BooDotBoo]

Or celebs were never all that good and social media is exposing them. Which is fine, because they're just people. Fans aren't at fault for that, the fans aren't making them say or do stupid things, but fans do need to stop expecting celebs to be something they aren't, they are just human like everyone else. And they aren't all good people.

She was never real

[@hiddengemz955]

I don’t worship anyone however I was a big fan of hers since she was on SoundCloud and I gave her so much grace because I feel we all have things that we could work on especially with her being biracial I chalked up to low self esteem, but her lashing out at those that support her and dating a pedo is unacceptable and I just can’t stand with her anymore. I hate that this went down while she’s touring I really wanted to see her. I had to throw away my doja shirts smh it’s so sad she’s spiraling

[@meagan.phillip]

My honest opinion is that Doja is just being honest. She doesn’t LOVE her fans because she don’t know them personally, she thinks it’s weird that they call themselves “kittens” that’s just what she thinks. her posts may be rude but she’s being straight forward. I do think she’s doing too much with her wording like she’s being unnecessarily blunt and not realizing she’s dragging the same people who made her rich and famous and I think she’s taking it for granted. Like there’s a way to give your opinion without mocking your own fans her behavior is weird like misdirected anger

It’s telling to me, as a biracial woman, that she so clearly hates her blackness [she was raised in a white environment by alternative “Hindu” white people] and consistently chooses white men who are objectively beneath her, less attractive, less successful, bad people 😂 as someone coincidentally who also raised by white Hindus, though in England, it’s extra obvious to me. Very sad, I find her capitulating to stereotypes of white mum mixed kids and not unpicking her anti blackness at her big age both infuriating and frustrating.

There are different types of love and from what I saw none of her fan’s approached or even crossed the line of fandom, Imagine if ppl like Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie responded to fans like this. Then she had the nerve to say her last 2 albums were cash grabs, her fans are stupid and she’ll chill on an island with ppl she actually loved 🤨 stop defending this goofy, rude and yes talented little girl who has a chip in her shoulder.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Celebs have been around for thousands of years, actually. But most of the younger entertainers obviously have no media training. Say what you will about Tom Cruise, but I remember one time on a red carpet a guy sprayed water in his face or something like that, pranking him, and even though Tom was clearly angry, he chided the man in a way where you could find no fault in the response. Tom's a weirdo too, but he had to be recorded low-key (like when he ranted about people on-set not following COVID regulations) to catch him going off, and even then it was justified. He doesn't hop on social media talking out of pocket. Neither does Beyoncé. Because they have the maturity and training to know better. These people act like they're Mozart or Da Vinci or something when they're just p-ssy popping pop stars. Like, I know media changes, but sit down somewhere. And I'd say that about my faves unless they were god-tier in multiple disciplines.

Knowing damn well they aren't married, using misogyny, and tweeting about it knowing that Keke prefers to keep things private, and not even taking the tweet down either so it just looks likehe feels no remorse for saying what he said.
