What kind of people would want to hear a ASMR of someone telling them their a good boy or good girl?
If it helps you sleep at night sure. Why not. But it doesn't change the fact that it's very weird.
Cause let me tell ya. If you need to be told that your a good person consistently by everyone that is around you or by a person that you like the most...

Chances are you're probably not a good person.
Cause there is a lot of of people who mean well to do good in the world... but they're often don't often end up well as a result.
Or it could be a spark of a chain of events that could spiral out of control due to the intentions were meant to be good but only made things worse as a result.

I don't know. It could be just be me finding it very jarring that some people out there want to hear by a voice that helps them relieve their nerves by telling them that they're a good person...

But more often than not I am reminded constantly of these two scenes as a result when I try to attempt to understand the appeal of an ASMR of motherly figure telling you that you're a good boy or good girl.

Your thoughts on the appeal of these kinds of ASMR's?
Cause after seeing some people online hearing this stuff while playing league of legends or trying to understand the concept of someone speaking to you like they love you ASMR...

It makes a guy eating a bag of chips as an ASMR look like a saint in a sea of mental gymnastics madness.

...Also yes I've seen and heard the crazy ASMR's of people going in very dangerous and ludicrous situations.

My favorite of the madness series is a girlfriend baking you cookies but it takes place before oven mitts were invented. (Which it says before the early 1870's.)

Now tell that to your dog, and your friend's dog, and your neighbor's dog, and every dog you come across - make sure the pet owner is present when you tell this to the dog.

I'd certainly be weirded out by asmr consisting of 4th grade grammar.

I'm no stranger to femboys and babyfurs, but I still kind of expect them to make an attempt at full sentences and proper possessives.

Haha! I nailed it! ...'course why wouldn't I? I also like this... sort of... it's complicated.

...Yeah but would require dogs to understand perfect English and recognize my face a lot.
Also I would look like an idiot for telling a dog that they're not good.

...To each their own.

But really, what makes you happy to hear, OP? Accountants and businessmen at work?
Would that be more "normal" and less "weird" to you?

Or how about the opposite of what you're saying - just never being treated well or praised or complimented in any way. Like... I guess that's pretty normal for our shame-based culture, but it's not healthy. One shouldn't be so avidly against being treated well ...at minimum because people who aren't used to or accepting of being treated well are ideal targets for abusers who actually seek them out.
I hope you can at least set healthy boundaries for yourself.

Your post comes across as,
either someone who isn't used to being treated well, possibly because they come from a community or religion that constantly emphasizes that you're supposedly this awful person that needs to beg for forgiveness every day even as the boot stomps on your face,
OR
someone who has seen bad people in their life get treated well and is feeling envious and confused about it and worried that people are encouraging bad behaviors by showing positivity to someone who is abusing others.

I get not wanting to be treated like an animal - a lot of people think they're better than animals (I kind of disagree but I understand)
but much of your post isn't about how wanting to be talked to and pet like a dog is weird but rather how you seem to think that enjoying being treated positively is weird.
There is a difference.

That's kind of a big part of the point.
Dogs... strangers simply seeking some comfort and love... it's kind of the same thing.

Part of the reason why I don't think that I'm above dogs is because some of the people who do think they're above dogs have no qualms with shooting a puppy in the face.
The flip-side of that, though, is that if the dog bites me, I might just bite it back.

This started as a joke about a k-pop idol that someone showed me nibbling on a tiger plushy, but I find it very empowering to say : "TIGER NOT BITE ME! -- I BITE TIGER!"
...I'm probably not going to actually do that, but the point is,
I don't think we're really above other mammals except in some niche areas that entail capability and maybe language but whales are a pretty strong suggestion of a counterpoint against the idea that language is unique to us.

I want an ASMR of a sweet-as-sugar girl chewing and smacking with her mouth full ...
Oh, wait ... this already exists! <3

Exactly. It's weird. It couldn't be more weird.

It is also an indication of a staggering level of immaturity. Do you need a hug from Mommy, too? Grow up.

You will never improve your sense of morality if you convince yourself you've never done anything wrong.

And if you NEED someone to tell you that you are a good person? You definitely aren't. You are definitely doing something evil, and are trying to make yourself feel better about it.

Living in such a delusion is extremely dangerous. You can harm whoever you want. Then go home and be told you did the right thing. By a recording you listen to brainwash yourself.

Technically it's called Ani now... Cause there are some people who are already engaging in already flirtatious manner and I am even more concerned by the people who use it as a desperate alternative due to dating culture is literally a dumpster fire hell.

To ever spending money on a over glorified yes woman chatbot.

...Cause $30 bucks can be better spent on buying food for your pet.

I get the idea of being comforted by something that has a familiar aura that attracts us to.
But this... ain't it.

Cause depending on who is listening to it and what they do.
It's usually the people who are desperate for validation and on what they do is considered "right" but most of the time it usually isn't cause I literally watch of a video that showed a guy playing league of legends... while also listening to a ASMR of something being a motherly figure and calling them a good boy or good girl.

...Which is weird or creepy depending on where you stand.
Point is living in a delusion is a hell of a lot worse than living in reality.
Cause reality hurts the most when it forcibly removes you from comfort zone to witness the harshness of it and it magnifies your fears ten fold because of being in a delusion for so long.

I get that we all go to our happy place in order to calm our nerves but that doesn't mean we should let go of accountability of what we did in our past.
Cause you need to be able to remember to separate between reality and fantasy at all times when you're trying to live so that you can remember who you are as a human being.

...Something that plenty of people are already indulging themselves in to the point where this is giving them more stuff to feed into their delusion of their lives that ranges from being either a hard and rough life or main character syndrome.

...Which was far from it's original purpose of why the ASMR was made in the first place.
...There is literally ASMR roleplay videos and some of it caters to VERY specific tastes.

I think it's more normal and well adjusted than you make it out to be. A.S.M.R. just makes it sounds creepy because it's new terminology likely based upon pseudo science. Vocal A.S.M.R. is pretty much just recorded whispering in practice.

If you just asked who would want somebody to whisper sweet nothings[idioms.thefreedictionary.com] into their ear then that would just be considered ordinary lover behavior, plus y'know, being called a good boy or girl is also very reassuring maternal sentiment that was likely used to comfort us when we were children. It's only natural that we find it reassuring. It's also terminology we similarly use in reference to our pets to make them feel good without any malign meaning to it, and they don't even really fully comprehend the meaning of those words. So you know, it's sort of show of affection a normal person wants?

The thing is, some are rather lonely or isolated and do not get that sort of ordinary human interaction, and I don't think it's particularly healthy to shame them for being as such, or for seeking substitutes for what they lack in their unfulfilling lives. People often say people are social animals.

I'd really be more concerned about the sort of person who thinks they don't need others (even though I tend to be somewhat of a loner myself).
The only kind of ASMR I enjoyed were indian massages since they're the weirdest, most preposterous things I've ever seen in my life. Bashing people on the head and attacking their backs with wood is somehow supposed to be relaxing, its comedy gold.

I think you're reading into it too deeply. Life ain't a movie. We, as people, don't all have some villainous backstory we need to escape. Some of us might, but it's highly extraordinary.
