By controlling the dialect and word choices, the media hijacks movements and narratives. “Q” and “anon” are separate. All of their news articles put the two together, “qanon” so when normies hear about it for the first time, they google “qanon” and what do you think pops up? The true q and anons or the mainstream spin?
Media and Hollywood does this often with books, tv show, and movie titles. So when you go to look up information about a certain operation it’ll pop up pop culture stuff or slander articles first, and bury the truth.
Oh, I fully understand the MSM is critical of Q and Anons, but whatever term that they collectively use for us is going to eventually wind up with exactly the same results, I think.
I can understand how re-branding would stop the knee-jerk reaction people would automatically have and prevent the algorithms from burying more positive, or even just neutral, search results. At least temporarily. Then whatever new name is given will eventually have the same results.
But what sense does it make to get angry with outsiders for not calling us frens or pedes, when they have zero reason to know what we call each other?
It makes as much sense as an obviously biological female getting angry that we don't use her preferred pronouns of "them/they" when we first meet.
Pointing out why the media call us "QAnon" is perfect to point out to any outsiders who have even a hint of intellectual curiosity. Show them how it's used as slander and make them question why the media would lie to them.
In the end, it's not about expecting people to magically know stuff, but we certainly shouldn't use their terms ourselves and should kindly point out to outsiders using them that they know not what they speak of.

Also for search engine purposes, they popularize the word so that the top results all point to hit pieces when a normie tries searching for info.
