Mage is a game for teenagers, it doesn't try to be anything else other than a game where you roll dice do to stuff.

tbf Helter Skelter was a song about a fairground ride that didn't really pretend to be much more than an excuse for Paul McCartney to write something loud, but that didn't stop a sufficiently manipulative individual turning it into a reason why the Family should murder people. And he didn't even need the internet to help him find followers.
Mage yea, but the cult? Where do you roll for crazy? Is it a save against perception? Constitution? Or intelligence check?
I know the church of Scientology wants you to crit that roll of tithing.

I shouldn't LOL at this but I must. We're all gonna die in these terrible times but at least we'll LOL at the madness and stupidity of it all.
Like all tragedies, there’s comedy there somewhere. Sometimes you have to be it.
yeah, people should understand, what is Scientology based on? The E-Meter which is some kind of cheap shit radio shack lie detector thing. I'm quite sure LLMs would do very well if given the task to spit out new cult doctrines and I would gather we are less than years away from cults based on LLM generated content (if not already).
Terry Davis, a cult of one, believed God spoke to him through his computer's RNG. So... yeah.
