I swear I don’t intend to make a habit out of covering K-pop adjacent content on Reddit, but this story of a Redditor’s aunt being saved from QAnon by BTS is just too wild to not talk about.
All’s well that ends well.
I know sometimes these posts can be a creative writing exercise, but the account seems legit and it’s completely believable to me anyway because fandoms (music, sports, whatever) can sorta be like … uh, healthier cults or something, as this tweet alludes to.
Where is that tweet about how Q conspiracy people need to just find a fandom and they’ll completely abandon all other nonsense? Because I think about that tweet all the time. pic.twitter.com/m466S2xC1Y

Like obviously we know fandom can manifest itself in a lot of ways, but this is certainly an example of how it can be at least a preventive measure, as there’s not a whole lot that could be worse than somebody ruining their life waiting for John F. Kennedy Jr. to resurrect and/or shooting up pizza places.
I dunno, this simulation is getting fucking nuts.
