JBP posted:Are we sure Qanon is actually serious and not mainly people playing a massive online game of madlibs, because it seems like a fun hobby of one-upmanship. Q themselves is not likely to be serious, let alone that there's like 5 or so known so far Much of the Q-priests who take the random gibberish Q posts and make explanations based on them probably don't take it seriously. All sorts of random weirdos who only experience Q from people reposting the stuff from the Q-piests appear to be dumb enough to believe what the Q-priests say is true, especially since they basically never see the average original Q post.

I have had multihour long conversations (ok conversation is a stret h but he talked) with an old guy who believes this plus a host of assorted other gross conspiracy stuff. Def no irony there. Wish I'd known before I did business with him, locked in for the foreseeable future.

There are a whole lot of online forums where middle-aged people talk past each other about their own interpretations of wacky stuff like guardian angels or ancient aliens or past life regression or whatever, and Qanon is just another iteration of the same, hundreds of bored housewives and retirees all lecturing about their idiosyncratic worldviews while not reading a thing anyone else says

fishmech posted:To be clear, while "otherkin" usually means animal-people now, "otherkin" used to be heavily focused on people who said they were vampires, elves, fairies, dragons, angels, demons etc back 25-15 years ago. You can see why that;s what that group would talk up. Beliefs in things like atlantis were popular as justifications for why X person talking online was totally an elf angel but you don't see many of them around these days, because such and such a catastrophe made it hard for them to stick around.

There were definitely early furries who considered being a furry to be basically a real-animal otherkin. But that was also in the weird time when all these subcultures were getting sorted out through the internet. It used to be that there would just be the group of weird kids that all decided (some of them more seriously than others) that they were something that was some melding of their own personal obsessions and whatever type of White Wolf game they happened to be into with at the time.

So to build on the whole idea that the qanon phenomenon is just a modern version of the exact same psychological phenomenon behind the formation of the otherkin community, I went and dug up a 2003 post from what was probably the most famous otherkin at the time:quote:Like it or not, as dragons we are at the front lines in the battle to bring the ideas of magic back to Earth.

Isn't that what's it's called Meltoria, the dragon kin libertarian utopia where everyone gets high off catnip and it's run by a guy who claims that he can build anything because he's good at Minecraft? Also, was Final Fantasy House Otherkin?

Meltoria was basically a much more popular/successful variant of the same kinds of otherkin cults I was involved with. The Final Fantasy 7 house included a number of otherkin and largely recruited from otherkin circles- it was basically a smaller and less successful version of the same kinds of otherkin cults I was involved with.

Beliefs in conspiracy theories are driven in part by a need to feel special and unique and both QAnon and otherkin deliver that in spades.

I would ask that you focus less on the specific of the beliefs being espoused, and more on the overall structure of the beliefs, the story those beliefs tell, and the centrally important role in a great conflict between good and evil that the adherent believes themselves to be in. Otherkin and Qanon are imo both manifestations of the same underlying behaviour pattern. They might have very different exteriors, but it's all the same engine underneath the hood.

Luigi's Discount Porn Bin posted:There is probably some legitimate connection in the sense that both otherkin and Qanons are living a double life, where irl they're essentially living normal, boring, somewhat deprived lives with little meaning or direction, but believe the boringness is a thin veneer over the true reality in which they're sexy elfdragons doing battle on the astral plane or Digital Soldiers using the power of Junior Jumble decoding and gematria transvestigations to topple the satanic deep state. And look, we live with the consequences of someone posting on an otherkin board and then declaring they found deep secret wisdom to this very day!

Cool. I was legit interested in Final Fantasy House being a otherkin cult after watching the Down the Rabbithole episode about it https://youtu.be/lFRjrLmc_4c I forgot how much SA forums there is in that video. Civilized Fishbot posted:It's a good thread, folks Yea one of the best threads on SA ever.
