Yes that's another similar and related phenomenon. There are similar stories around of parents finding their teenage kids programmed with neo-Nazi or similar ideologies from spending time in video game forums and then following some rabbit hole.
I remember following rabbit holes as a teen but for some reason my natural tendency toward skepticism defended me from the crazier stuff. If anything contact with nutty sorts of conspiracy theories and cult ideologies just made me more of a skeptic. It seems that some people are more prone to getting sucked in.
- dvtrn 8y agoIt seems that some people are more prone to getting sucked in. Obligatory cautionary/curiousity-laden counterpoint to inquire if people are more prone to it now or if we as observers are exposed to more examples of the phenomenon taking place-thanks to social networks and the one-to-many nature of broadcasting our every thought out to the aether?
