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

    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).
