In the Psycheverse
Psyche treats online criticism as a recurring interpersonal and psychological phenomenon worth examining directly—sometimes responding to trolls on stream, sometimes analyzing how creators internalize hostility differently based on emotional state and the critic's relationship to them. The show frames criticism as inseparable from streaming culture itself, where defensiveness and emotional reactivity become topics of their own inquiry.
