“When I see people responding in a way that it is real, I’m hoping that they understand it’s not real and that they’re choosing to role-play or to accept that it’s a fantasy, the same way you’d form a parasocial relationship with a character from a video game or a TV show,” Thierry tells you. “And I understand this is not exactly the same, but I feel like my job as the creator behind it is to indulge in that and allow them to feel like they’re part of it.”
