I haven’t heard anything about them in quite a while. It’s like they were a hot-button topic of conversation, and then everyone just stopped talking about them. If they’re still around, what would be the reason they seemingly disappeared from the news?

    Idiots like me, eh? Care to expand on this since you seem to know so much about me from a single post?

      Of course. There was never any evidence to suggest that anything that random 4Channer said was true, but it sparked controversy and made for a good headline, so people who can’t bother to think for themselves ate it up, until the more intelligent of them realized there wasn’t actually anything to back it up, and presumably moved on to the next click bait headline that grabbed their attention.

      Which only leaves you.

          Pokémon Go was a global phenomenon. It made exactly as many correct claims as your internet troll.

            What are you on about?

            Nobody here believes in the QAnon shit, we’re talking about what happened to the people who did and you’re trying to say they never existed.

                That’s a bit uncalled for when it’s become clear they’ve just made a mistake and misinterpreted something.

              Obviously people do believe in that shit. That was not the impression I got from OP’s post or the replies I’ve gotten, but maybe I read them wrong. I’ll freely admit that I could be wrong.

              I also think I addressed why we’ve stopped talking about it: people realized there were no facts behind it and moved on.

                You clearly are in need of reading comprehension course or two if you came to the conclusion that I have any belief in that nonsense at all.

                Nothing I have said could be interpreted as such.
