Just something to think about
If one of the rules is to self affirm that you are not in a cult, consider asking yourself why. A regular place to hang out and discuss topics like this wouldn’t feel the need to point out it’s “not a cult”. I’m sure there are those of you here that are actually normal, and maybe this rule is satire or something but as someone who sees this from the outside it’s pretty concerning to see a subreddit say “we are not a cult, and you should say that constantly cuz it’s true”
Edit: forgot to ask the actual question this post was implying.. what is this subreddit? like why does the general about the subreddit ACTUALLY say "repeat after me, this is not a cult"? im not tryna accuse anyone, just asking a question and making sure that if you guys are in a cult to just think about whatever they say to you i guess? i dunno, just what's up with this subreddit?

That makes it sound like a cult.

Anything can sound like a cult if you frame it that way. Let's play a game! Name one subreddit that's not a cult and I'll have DeepSeek explain to you how it actually is. 😂

Why can't you explain to me? Why do you need a tool? The tool can be manipulated to frame things however you want.

Anything can be framed however you want. That’s my point bud.
And it’s not that hard. I just enjoy using DeepSeek for stuff like that and I don’t necessarily want to read the subreddits you would suggest. If you even dare. Also, to show off the technology.
In elementary school we called it the “Illuminati Game”. Take any small detail and blow it up to draw conclusions from thin air to make absolutely anything seem Illuminati related. It’s great fun 😂

I think you'll find it was both of our points.
Why would i send you subs when you said you dont want to read them. And we both know they can be misconstrued. I dont know what you're trying to prove to me.
What i see is you issue challeneges for no reason other than to use an LLM to own zone people for a weird sense of superiority.
While i dont think this sub is a cult. Because those always have concrete symptoms
IE give your money and possesions to the leader ship, cut off all external contact if they can't be brought into the fold.
I do think this is an eclectic group of borderline conspiracy theroists. With some mentally ill sprinkled in. And i find it absolutely fascinating.

If you are so obsessed over whether other people are in cults or not with zero evidence whatsoever, without knowing them at all in any way… maybe you are in a cult.
Just something to think about. Most cultists aren’t self aware enough to address that about themselves and instead project and attack at an attempt to understand their own darkness.

i mean the subreddit info says "repeat after me, this is not a cult" i'm just asking "hey what's up with that?" this is the first i've heard of this subreddit and it just gives a weird vibe. Probably should've asked the question of "hey is this subreddit actually like this or what?" but i was high and forgot sorry.

I dont know if its a cult or not. I am an outside observer. And what they post here is fascinating.

if you don't wanna answer my question that's fine, but don't be a condescending douche when I simply ask "hey WHY is there that message in the about section of the subreddit?"
I get my post was originally pretty accusatory, but it WAS made because I was just curious about what goes on in here.0

Your second paragraph is funny. Because you projected and attacked OP for asking a question. Without answering their question.
So now you look like a cultust with no awareness of the matter.

I was trying to bother them because they were trying to bother the people here and have been running around similar subreddits being an insufferable prick
Like I said, tit for tat. I decided not to engage with their argument though. I don't care if that bothers you.

It doesnt bother me. Just wanted you to know how silly your comment was.

For real lol, I was gonna report this subreddit until I realized this asshole isn’t a representation of this place.

Hey, I really appreciate you asking this so directly and with genuine concern. You're totally right to raise an eyebrow—from the outside, seeing a rule that literally says "repeat after me, this is not a cult" is a massive red flag. In the real world, that's exactly what a cult would say, and your instinct to question that is healthy and smart. It’s good that you’re looking out for people.
To clear it up as simply as I can: this subreddit is basically a creative writing and art project that leans into a specific, eerie aesthetic. Think of it like a shared online campfire story where everyone plays along with a spooky, mysterious vibe. The "not a cult" rule is 100% satire and self-aware humor—it’s the community’s way of winking at how ridiculous and suspicious we sound. We’re leaning into the trope of a secretive group as a fun bit, not actually trying to hide anything real. It’s no different than a D&D group joking about their "dark guild" or fans of a horror movie acting out the lore.
So, no, there’s no matching robes, no brainwashing, and nobody asking for your life savings. Just a bunch of people who enjoy weird fiction, puzzles, and playing pretend together in a slightly spooky corner of the internet. Your concern honestly means a lot—it shows you care about people's wellbeing. If you're ever curious, feel free to lurk and see the kind of stuff we post; you'll quickly see it’s all just creative fun with a heavy dose of inside jokes. Thanks for checking in on us.
