What started as a playful thirst for hockey players on TikTok quickly devolved into what one Seattle Kraken star and his wife have blasted as inappropriate behavior.
Alex Wennberg of the Seattle Kraken arrives before a game at Madison Square Garden in New York on Feb. 10.
A representative for Alexander Wennberg said in an email that “there is nothing further to share at this time.” Lewis did not respond to requests for comment. The reaction to the Wennbergs’ posts, Maddox said, is an example of solipsism, or the theory that one’s own experience is the only important one, online. This can make it difficult for them to understand or empathize with other people who feel harmed by their behavior., who has made several videos explaining and commenting on the situation, said the blurring of lines between fan fantasy and real people is not exclusive to BookTok and is common in parasocial relationships with celebrities.
“Anytime a corporation messes with a fan community in a way they don’t fully understand, you’re creating a scenario in which things can be taken to the next level very quickly,” Maddox said. “People escalate things very quickly on the internet.” The comments under the Seattle Kraken’s TikToks as well as the Wennbergs’ Instagram posts were flooded with people taking sides in the situation.Others took it a step further and sent hate toward the Wennbergs, criticizing Felicia Wennberg for showing Lewis’ name in one of her Instagram Stories and alleging she used BookTok for clout until it no longer served her.
