PPPM Framework: Multi-Domain Analysis of Collective Punitive Behavior in Avatar-Mediated Performer Ecosystems v1.1

A working paper proposing a multi-domain theoretical framework for explaining collective punitive behavior enacted by highly engaged fan subgroups on behalf of avatar-mediated performers (such as VTubers), even when the performer has sought de-escalation. The paper introduces two core concepts: Parasocial Proxy Punishment Mode (PPPM) and Domain-Limited Social Autonomy Collapse (DLSAC), and argues that the phenomenon is non-pathological, domain-limited, and reversible.
