The whole "there is no Qanon there is Q and anons" still makes zero sense to me. Q is anonymous. He is an anon who calls himself Q. I am an anon who calls myself HelloDolly. Not sure why this whole "there is no such thing as Qanon" is perceived as such a "gotcha." In the scheme of things to me it is the least important thing in the wide world. PS: Isn't Qanon.pub a website set up way back when, by someone who was decidedly NOT MSM?
The reason it makes sense to me is because Q talks about it in his posts. He points out that he was only ever known as "Q", and the reason the media calls it "QAnon" is so that they can include "anons" as part of "Q" so that they can have a fake anon go and shoot up a pizza parlor so that the whole thing can be made all about him instead of the content of what Q actually had to say. It just makes it easier for the media to insert actors and use that mechanism to discredit the entire movement into a bunch of wacky conspiracy theories.

I'm confused...does "anon" just mean "people" in this context?
Isn't this all sort of a "no true scotsman" fallacy

People are free to their opinions, yet I agree it weakens one's position by being overly pedantic. I think it fits with the autistic slant of the community though. Doesn't really matter to me. shrug
It's not distaste, it's an inaccurate label juxtaposed against anyone that disagrees with them. Your grandma is QAnon for all they care. Who is this 4CHAN?! Lol. It's the same thing. This is also how the Sam Hyde meme was born, in response to blaming video games and internet culture for mass shootings rather than mental health and three letter agency influence.
Exactly. There is Q, and there are anons following Q. There is no shame in being called a Q-anon. Should Christians start saying “there is Christ, and there are disciples, there are no Christians?” Of course not. Stop parsing words. It makes you look dumb. Wear it like a badge of honor ffs.
I get that people realize it's not technically correct, but the term does cover "Q + Anons". Not sure why there is so much distaste on it.

This drop exists as a fact, tho - u/#q4881
Woah you really love posting this
Yep, fair point. Thanks for the source.
Same. It always struck me as "meh". I guess the point I can somewhat understand is that it distracts from Q posts vs the followers.
More than a distraction - u/#q4881
To help make sense of it - u/#q4881
Right? It's what the normies know us by. It's as good a name as any.
I believe it is because of this drop

Yep fair, I forgot about the Q post. Don't really understand why it was nitpicked about, but I assume it's important enough to Q to do so.
