If you’re held to a different moral standard, specifically in regard to lewding, you’re probably in a cult.
A prevalent idea among cult leaders is that they are above the law, be it human or divine. This idea allows them to exploit their followers economically and sexually while remaining "pure".

The next step in recruitment is to instill in the new recruit an early sense of fear and paranoia. 

Often at the first or second study, the recruit is told that Jelly will not like that he is learning about the “truth” and will send people to disparage the thread and try to lead him away, to discord.

“That is how we can know it is true /vrg/, because of the shitposting,” they claim. They will then quote a falseflag photoshopped image, "proving" their claims.


When confronted, they do not confess, but create justifications for their impropriety. Sexual grooming and feminization of members is common. Loyal cult members will perform any amount of “mental gymnastics” to justify or ignore the leader’s behavior.

If you need your group in order to feel worthy, loved, or sufficient, you’re probably in a cult.

Cult leaders trap members in shame cycles by imposing abnormally strict codes of conduct (usually joining the discord, thigh highs, lewding, vrfu's, anime avatars in VRChat), victim blame/guilt members for their shortcomings, and then positioning themselves as the unique remedy to the feelings of guilt which they themselves created.

Cult members are made to believe they are insufficient or unworthy on their own and that the only way to become worthy is to confess their shitposts to the group or leader. The leader then becomes the meditiator of Chan culture and the foundation of the member’s self esteem.

Leaders who can make followers feel bad about anything can use shame to manipulate followers into doing anything, even if it’s against their own self-interest or better judgment.
