ASU Students Raised Online - Creators' Impact On Political Beliefs

How have online content creators shaped your political beliefs? | State Press Magazine Some context: Hi everyone! I'm a writer for the State Press Magazine, ASU's student-led media outlet. I'm writing a story on how content creators who aren't generally considered "political commentators" can influence ASU students' political thought. For sourcing, I'm trying to get in touch with students who have been exposed to the internet for most of their life and have been committed fans to certain creators. Parasocial or not, I'm interested in that relationship and what "growing up on the internet" can do to someone's own beliefs, even if the creator they feel connected with doesn't have that much of a political pull (Think Drew Gooden or other internet culture commentators who are steadily talking on more serious topics while also posting reviews of low-budget shows). How did that connection with a creator change how you view your own political values or beliefs? And do you think it was beneficial to have that type of influence? If you're interested in talking about this and sharing your own story, feel free to DM me and I can send over my contact info. Thanks!
