Intersectionality determines how exotic an internet celebrity appears to each viewer.

Evidence

Internet celebrity that is “exotic” is perceived as distancing, far removed from one’s comfort zone, or so novel or foreign that it piques the interest of audiences who hold contrasting or different forms of “cultural capital.” Cultural capital refers to the embodied, objectified, or institutionalized assets that are accumulated through the cultivation of valued personal qualities, tasteful material objects, credentials, and qualifications. — Crystal Abidin, Internet Celebrity, 109 (#expands, via linked claim)
