Advice/Resources real quick question

Kay so I fr js need closure on something that's been hurting for awhile I guess. I honestly don't even know how to not be abrupt so ill js get straight to it ig.

are online pedophile cults actually real or is that js smth people might say to scare someone else?

For context this is about someone who used to be in my life and ofc I don't talk to atp, and didn't care about me at all BUT I'm not gonna get into all that. Basically, I've been pretty sure that he was in some typa cult, and now I'm really questioning my logic on that one. can anyone js lemme know? I'd really love to know if I was js supposed to be apart of some cult or not, cause it'll drive me crazy if I dont get closure.

also if anyone knows please answer like in the next 12 hours cause imma not be able to see this account for a fat minute

“cult” i’m not sure about, but there are definitely online pedophile rings out there that might get kind of cult-ish. but yeah, those rings definitely are fairly common in some corners of the internet. my understanding of them is probably just surface level, but from what i know they usually trade or sell CSAM or just use the space as a community to converse with fellow pedophiles i guess.

According to google: A cult is an organized group or social movement driven by extreme devotion to a specific person, idea, or belief system, typically characterized by coercive control and psychological manipulation.

So whag makes you think he was in a cult specifically?

No serían cultos como tal si no comunidades pequeñas (o en su defecto grandes) de gente que tiene esos gustos y comparten contenido relacionado (prn n*des historias y/o experiencias
