I’m actually still convinced that Flats are just trolling the whole world and pissing their pants from laughing when noone looks.
These things can’t be truly real and serious. They can’t. No. Nonono.

There’s a fascinating documentary, Behind the Curve. It talks about how, for a lot of these people, it began with the thrill of having some secret knowledge that others don’t, and then found they had a community and felt included for the first time in their lives (for some of them). That sense of community is really important to humans, so now, just like religion, there is more binding people to the movement than just the hidden knowledge.
(If I’m remembering correctly. I may be conflating it, it’s been a while since I watched it.)

That actually makes sense and explains best. Extremely sad, but that’s probably it. Besides those that just love to troll. Never thought about reason tbh, i was so baffled at the sheer stupidity of it all to see the “good”.

A lot of conspiracy theories seem to hinge on the idea that anyone engaging in the theory somehow has access to information that most people don’t, at least that’s my theory.
