Working paper reconstructs the PPPM Framework to explore proxy behaviors in avatar-mediated performance ecosystems, suggesting new implications.
This paper presents a fully reconstructed revision of the PPPM Framework (v1.1, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19026817). PPPM (Parasocial Proxy Punishment Mode) describes collective sanctioning behavior enacted by high-identification parasocial subgroups (HIS) against third-party targets on behalf of avatar-mediated performers, without explicit instruction from the performer. Version 2.0 introduces three principal advances over v1.1: (1) redefinition of PPPM's core as the absence of explicit performer authorization; (2) a two-layer structural model distinguishing proxy interpretation (cognitive layer) from proxy punishment (behavioral layer); and (3) analysis of dynamic transformation from proxy justice mode to self-driven outrage mode, and its paradoxical consequence—that protective behavior causes secondary harm to the protected performer. This is a working paper. It does not claim empirical validation and has not undergone peer review.
