Do you have to genuinely have a crush/squish/smush/etc on the character to be a yume, or can it be applicable for things like semi-taken-seriously jokes and/or just finding a character super cool or appealing [presumably with a self-insert involved based on what I've seen]?

I've only lightly observed these communities (+got it reccomended to me quite a bit for some reason) so I'm not sure too how it works 🥲 like the only reason I knew to include squish up there was because I looked at the flairs and saw platonic and familial (is there a "crush"-like word for familial love or is it still squish?)

Sorry if this is a dumb question!
