    Having seen the author’s IG & seeing she referred to her bf as Zade…you can’t convince me this isn’t basically self-insert fanfic

    As someone who has spent my entire 37 years of life in Ohio, I love that it took a girl from Germany to call out the fact that Ohio is, in fact, Florida North.
    It is.
    Nothing good has come from this hell hole since Maynard James Keenan was born and he got the hell out of here as soon as he could sooo......
    The worst of the worst in this state comes from upper middle class white neighborhoods like the one the Paul brothers came from and I have a funny feeling that's where HD Carlton came from too 10:40 . The fact that this is QANON fan fiction glorifying SA makes even more sense knowing she's a Jehovah's Witness. The fact that she's an Ohioan is just the cherry on top of the shit sundae.
    Also, bullshit HD Carlton didn't know about QANON before writing that book! Ohio is Trump country. I am a staunch progressive and I knew all about QANON in 2017. No shot anyone over the age of 18 in this state knew nothing about it in 2020. 😂 She just happened to copy the exact conspiracy to a tee while admitting she got it from news stories....? News stories about what, ma'am? QANON perhaps? Lmao

      QAnon nonsense is not really original, it’s basically just a copy of the “Satanic ritual child abuse” panic from the 1980’s, which ironically made it more difficult for survivors of the real child abuse perpetrated by many Christian organisations. And this whole thing can be traced back to old conspiracies about Jewish people and how they supposedly kidnap children to drink their blood or something else equally disgusting, fake and stupid. I really hate this stuff because, well, these stupid fake conspiracies make life difficult for the real, actual kids being hurt.

    i personally think people should watch videos even if it heavily criticizes their favorite thing. people living in their own bubble and shielding themselves from hearing criticism because “it’s just a book/fiction” is probably the reason for the death of media literacy. i haven’t finished watching the video but i already know i’m going to love it!

    17:07 ‘Q anon’ is like astrology for boomers, is the best way I can put it. There are tons of words that generally mean ‘the r word’ because they kept inventing words that they considered less offensive. For instance ‘idiot’ ‘imbecile’ and ‘moron’ were where we started and then we moved on to ‘demented’ and the r word and ‘autistic’. The cycle continues because once a word gets popularized it then gets seen as offensive and they move on to another word, it’s been going for at least a century now

      Hey, "autistic"/"autism" is not a bad or offensive word, its the actual term (I'm autistic).
      Just don't use it as an insult because that's when it becomes harmful.

      @@wooogie672​​⁠oh I didn’t mean to say it was offensive, I was talking about the development of how words are seen as offensive through time/history since almost all of these (if not actually all of them) were once considered medical terms and diagnoses in the past (some much farther than others)
