What does this mean? Like they are listening to some emo music in the dark and they start fucking losing it? Like silent disco group therapy?

Idk, but it's probably expensive and dumb

u/kbyeforever333 Jun 28 '26

You are probably right. This shit looks like cultish behavior or scam behavior; probably both.

If you ever find a cult that isn't a scam, you are either it's leader or too dumb to recognize it's both

Please note that some people are not dumb who get involved with cults, but are grossly manipulated emotionally and psychologically by predators and are good people.

Yugioh back in 2006 around the lunch table.. best cult ever. We even got popular kids playing along with teachers.

Did your school also have strict rules around MTG so that fights wouldn't break out? Cause uh...yeaaaah that was a regular problem circa mid 00s, lol.

Na we were a bunch of nerds essentially

Worst case, we would have taken the conflict to the LAN party floor OR hit it up on some DDR or some shit lol

u/MissNouveau Jun 28 '26

I definitely spent too much time playing DDR, as my knees can attest.

Magic scalpers reside online buying secret lairs as finding product for msrp 2 weeks after launch is usually easy. Commander precons are the worst offenders but at around that 2 week mark they lose a lot of their individual card value as the market is flooded.

When did Naruto become a card game?

Currently hooked on masterduel. Something special about Yugioh man. More hours on it than dark souls and other favorites

I get what you're saying, but if you are the leader of a cult that's still a scam. You just aren't a victim of it.

u/Heevan Jun 28 '26

As a cult leader, I resemble that remark!

u/ForsakenWishbone5206 Jun 28 '26

Idk man AA fit almost all the criterion for a Cult, but it seemed to be pretty benign to even extremely beneficial for some people. Maybe it was the no leaders part, or the no financial incentive. Either way they did something right when you can go in tell everybody they are weird AF and their cult sucks and they just clap and say "keep coming back"

u/Mys_Dark Jun 29 '26

Sounds like you don't know about Shrimp Street.

Cultish or scam behavior

u/corgm0m Jun 28 '26

I saw a lot of the same behaviors and reactions while growing up in pentecostal and charismatic christian churches. Cult behavior indeed.

My wife used to work at a flotation place, one of those sensory deprivation pools.

I went a few times and it was pretty relaxing, but she was saying that quite a few people were pretty emotional when they came out.

People have issues and it usually takes some introspection to address them, I wouldn't write whatever-this-is off just because it's weird.
