    oh, that they’re fully aware of. (and other weird jkr-related fandoms, like “snapewives” (don’t look)).

      I know of this horror and it was incredibly unhinged by leaps and bounds. It confused me such a milquetoast character…Had that kind of thing grow around them. ROFL

        fwiw, that HP cult doesn’t have a body count (that I know of)

          Well that sent me on a dark rabbit hole…

          (For those that didn’t know, The author of Dumbledore’s Army and the Year of Darkness is a scam artist and a cult leader. I knew that part already, but what I didn’t knowwas how big the cult was at it’s peak or that it was tied to a murder-suicide in 2011…)

          And of course, sneerclubbers should know by now about the HPMOR to Lesswrong to Cult pipeline. (With MAPLE, Zizians and Leverage Research as most clearly cult examples. Dragon Army and Vassar’s circle as cult-adjacent).
