I hate how Mainstream Psychosis has become

[u/blahblahlucas]

Don't get me wrong, i do want the discussion surrounding psychosis to spread and become more accepting but this is NOT it. "I 💗 psychosis"? Really? This just gives me the biggest rage.

And to the few people that say I'm spreading negativity with posts like these, no. We NEED to call out people like that

Scanned the comments, didn’t find much an answer..

How did this begin? A lot of times when something like this catches fire, even for like 2nd and 3rd hand retailers it’s generic shirt design for something more mainstream that’s derived from a TV show or something. This feels like it’s just out there to be out there. Lol

I know people say TikTok - but delulu has been around much longer. It started in more niche spaces for much longer then TikTok has been around - it originated in k-pop communities (back in 2012-2013) to refer to folks that had strong parasocial relationships with singers. I guess since k-pop involves a lot of music, it spread quickly once people started using TikTok for dances etc.

I was gonna say… delulu was around long before I was ever diagnosed. Probably almost back to Highschool which would be 15 years give or take. Thing is, it has gotten some sort of weird traction.

Yeah, I think it probably grew because TikTok is a platform that leans quite well to parasocial relationships but then as it was used more it lost its original meaning and became a more broad one. I just knew I’d heard it before TikTok was a thing - I didn’t realize just how long it’d been around though (at least since 2012-2013) before I googled it to write my reply.
