I was referring to The Zizians, which is a cult that began by reading that one fucking Harry Potter fanfic using Rationality. When even the Rationalists got "ok this is weird, even for us," they turned into an offshoot in illegal boats and eventually lead to a murder spree and that shootout you may have heard in the news.

Vegan. Terrified about Rocko's Basilisk (or whatever). All happened to be transgender, which is why you may hear the word "trans" in the TLDR

ai vegan death cult

but as zizians.info says, trans people could have been specifically targeted for the DBZ style "give me your energy" cult leader schtick, as they tend to be the most vulnerable because marginalized identity.

There's also a Behind the Bastards two-part podcast, and all of it is fucking wild. and I cannot distill just how fucking wild this shit gets

also some dude got stabbed 50 (WITH A SAMURAI SWORD) times and lived to drag those fuckers to court
