I still haven't gotten around to reading Haunting Adeline (I was reading something Worse) but the fact that it's recently come out to be lowkey QAnon conspiracies all over is wild to me, especially because everyone is acting like this is somehow because the author is crazy.

When are we gonna talk about the fact that QAnon and other cultlike movements thrive off of letting people escape into a fantasy world that justifies and validates their shitty, uncomfortable feelings and it works so well because we have built a society that insists toxic positivity is the only answer to anything?

#i'm not talking about on the internet with the toxic positivity thing #i'm talking about how people react to discomfort IRL #biggest dark romance of the year having overlap with qanon conspiracies that tie into . . . *watches more of this book rant video*#sex trafficking and women as chattel is not ACTUALLY as newsworthy as people are making it out #because those two things are addressing and validating the same set of emotional triggers #just one is fictional and safe and the other is a fucking cult
