The combination of the first names of two charming British YouTubers named Dan Howell and Phil Lester who were shipped the hell out of by the batshit horny side of their often invasive yet *creative* fanbase and eventually came out publicly as gay after so much speculation and accusations of “queer-baiting”. In sharing their perspective to millions online, it has really helped many people feel less alone in some of their own thoughts and experiences. They were able use their talents to capitalize on how the nature of their private relationship is none of our business and have quite literally made that their own business. Dan and Phil have become successful content creators that provide comforting comedic entertainment for their millions of followers. It can’t be easy to discuss vulnerable topics or share yourself online with that many people all up in your personal business, so keep that in mind and respect their privacy. Please seek professional help and therapy if your obsession with parasocial relationships is unhealthy, unethical, or is making people way too creeped out and uncomfortable.
