    Bit of a relief to be honest. Someone needed to shut the universe down until we figure out what the hell is going on.

    So what % of Americans actually believe stuff like this? 2-3%? 5%?

    inb4 “most Americans are religious so about 80%”

      At least 17% as of 2022 so it’s probably more by now.

      https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/23/qanon-believers-increased-america-study-finds

      Chris Hedges talks a lot about this, how material conditions continue to degrade people turn to magical thinking.

        Yeah but most Qanon people aren’t fully into all this alien invasion crap, they just believe Hollywood is full of pedophiles (correct) and Trump is going to save the children from migrant hordes of satanic criminals (incorrect). I wanna know how many true freaks that believe in reptilian aliens there are.

            I think that given enough time, someone who gets into Qanon and stays in whatever community is beaming that garbage into their heads will slowly radicalize and start believing in that stuff. But there’s kind of a balance to it, where some people who are fully into it stop believing as time goes on and nothing happens.

    Well, 50 billion alien shadow invaders are just 50 billion friends I haven’t met yet as far as I’m concerned.

    Sometimes I think about that one time I did a PCP analogue and went fully manic and started thinking this way, and then afterwards told myself “never again”.

    But hey, maybe again

    There is a surprisingly alright Dr Who spinoff series called “Class” where the central big bad is a genocidal army of shadow people that just, like, step outta a person’s shadow and shank 'em.

    If Class is anything to go by, we simply need to find a teenage girl with sufficient anger issues to fight these aliens’ leader in an arena kinda like a Dark Souls boss to fix this.

          In my headcanon he was dead in the cartoon. His toy was one of the ones licensed from a non-Takara company, and licensing royalties are far more powerful than Unicron. His character was better in the comics, though.

          “formed a friendship with Cancer” might seem like a weird sentence to some, but I just thought “oh yeah, the character from Super-God Masterforce”.

              Probably the best Transformers games ever, although that PS2 Armada game is overlooked.

              Then Activision did what they always do and shoved another company into the Cawadoody mines after Deadpool flopped.

                  I forgot about that one, but it was a different developer. High Moon made War and Fall, the developer for Rise of the Dark Spark didn’t have the greatest resume.
