There's a lot more context to this like Siken wasn't even @-ed by anyone he found the original tweet by namesearching himself, decided to respond to it, then when his response got replies he started throwing around accusations of parasocial stalking over some harmless hyperbole. Sir the only one being parasocial about you is yourself.
Then he accused the women above of having 'meltdowns' and asked Google AI for validation lmfao
And he got quite frankly owned here (if nothing else it's a self-own because pretending to not know words have connotations in society, as a famous poet, is hilarious)
Siken has always been bittered and mean to others around him. There is a broader discussion on the expectations of the public and artists, but Siken often takes it father to berate and lambast those around him—especially teenage girls—beneath the veneer of combatting parasociality.
In 2020, Siken received an email from a 15 year old girl asking for more commentary on his poems for an essay she was writing. Let's be clear, he had no obligation to respond if he did not want to. I cannot find the whole thing, but his response included:
It held the same tone throughout. And Siken happily projects this fact in interviews as a point of pride:
I don't like him. He clearly holds some sort of hatred for younger women and feels their expressions to be boorish and annoying, if not outright threatening towards him. It's immature, and if he was truly intent on being an uncontactable hermit then he'd have more tact with what he chooses to respond to. Instead, he constantly gets haughty on twitter and feels threatened historically by, I repeat, teenage girls.
