just do a twitter search for “hex the moon” and switch to latest, I think you need a grip on the scale here.

Thought it was fashion trend or something. Didn’t realize it was a literal larp. That’s somehow less interesting.

A pretty substantial number of people take it totally seriously as a New Age-ish religious practice—hence, "what's the conversion pipeline?". When people start using a belief system to sell weight loss formulas, it's past larping IMO.

Is this different from the Wicca fringe that’s always been around? Feels more tv/fiction/Harry Potter derived

it feels substantially more cohesive to me, and it does seem to have more of a mass appeal. religion as fandom. It also seems like it thrives on a new kind of context-collapsed online space, where people don't realize that none of it existed until very recently.
