Uh hi I got something to say about this shipping cult stuff and I don’t think you and Fly should be encouraging it.
NOW I ain’t talking about the shipping part, that’s all fine and dandy and great fun! But the “cult” aspect is something that should be nipped in the bud. I know people think that calling their group chats “cults” is funny but it’s not. People in fandom spaces really do take this seriously with a strong enough echo chamber. I just worry that it’ll lead to folks either hurting themselves or others. It may seem harmless now but look on Tik Tok with the “Children of the Waning Star”. It started out as a joke but overtime folks took it seriously and became unhealthly attached.
I’m not saying that this shipping war made for fun should be dismantled, but the cult and reliougous themes should not be encouraged (especially if you're telling them to do their "cult rituals"). At best, it's weird, at worse, it could be dangerous.
no no yeah i definitely see it.
I would know I grew up in a cult. it was terrible. I'm in therapy now!
usually i'd make a joke about my trauma but this is something i'm still actively working through.
i'd tell y'all the story but i'm not comfortable doing that i'm sorry.
but yes be careful throwing that term or being "Culty" or any religious themes oresent in a sense. please. its not something i want to encourage. you're absolutely right
