Many of the older devotees have been involved in the conspiracy community for decades, in some cases even prior to the invention of the World Wide Web. Who are the Qultists?ĭespite Q's debut on a forum primarily frequented by young men and boys, the majority of his following consists of both male and female baby boomers. Eventually they settled on Reddit, where they discuss Q's 'drops' (which he now posts on 8chan- a place containing users who are generally more extreme than the ones on 4chan), organize 'redpill' efforts, posit their theories, and share anything tangentially related to the 'Q Conspiracy'. Those listeners eagerly spread the news to associates via Twitter and Facebook, and within months, Q gained a massive following of devotees from many walks of life. The existence of Q Q-uickly came to the attention of conspiratorial blogging organization Infowars, who spread news of his existence to listeners who don't use 4chan. Posts from users claiming to have insider knowledge about government workings are incredibly common on the website, and predictions made in cryptic language have been part of 4chan well before the /pol/ board was even created, but, as Q continued to post his predictions, he gained an extremely large following of people who truly believed that he was working with Trump to bring Hillary and co. Using somewhat cryptic language, Q claimed to be a high-level insider in the Trump administration who was part of an operation to take down the Deep State, and that left-wing and GOP establishment figures, such as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain would soon pay for their alleged crimes. Although 4chan is known for being a hotbed of porn, gore, and anime, and /pol/ is dominated by discussion in support of white nationalism, fascism (the real kind), and anarcho-capitalism, Q decided to impart his message on this forum. 'Q' is an anonymous figure who initially appeared on the website 4chan's /pol/ board. This subreddit is dedicated to documenting, critiquing, and debunking the chan poster known as 'Q' and his devotees.įor family and friends of Qultists: /r/QAnonCasualtiesįor discussion of the mechanisms behind conspiracy thinking: /r/ConspiracyPsychology -Frequently Debunked Claims- Who is Q?
