Cult Stories

 Is there any overlap between your mission and that of Sonic’s? Is there a bridge between these concepts?Well, there is no concept of MLM’s in the Sonic Universe, but, like I said, Sonic will fight for what’s right and will take down any bad guy and that is my mission. I want to expose these MLM’s and educate people not to fall for them.

What’s it been like finding a community of likeminded individuals online and receiving their support?

It honestly feels so amazing! I never imagined something like this. Everyone in the Anti-MLM community is so supportive and educated and you don’t even have to know anybody. You are just immediately welcomed. It’s so amazing to have such a community where we are always ready to protect others and defend each other. We are such an unstoppable bunch. I love the support I receive. It’s wonderful.

Outside of your own account, what are some of the best resources for someone curious about the destructive practices you find in MLM’s? This could be other accounts, documentaries, websites- any source of Anti-MLM material.

I think YouTube videos are a good place for people to be educated on the subject. There are a few Anti-MLM YouTubers out there, like Chelsea Suarez, Deanna Mims, I Don’t Want No Huns, Lara Bee, Isabella Lanter, and many, many others. People can even look at the #antimlm hashtag. You get to see all the creators there and they can choose who to follow.

Cult Leaders are sort of famous for desiring to be worshipped by their followers. Does this trait exist in MLM leaders? 

Yes! I do believe that. In cults, everyone worships the leader because the boss is seen as someone all knowing. And that’s very similar to how downlines see their uplines. They listen to their upline and are demanded to follow everything that they tell them to do. Downlines cannot run their ‘business’ their own way. They get no freedom.

Where do you find all your Sonic content to make memes out of? Is there a community online making Sonic art?

There is a Sonic community and it’s huge. There are a lot of other Sonic artists out there like me. But 99% of my images are all official pictures. I just Google them, LOL!

Sonic Fight’s MLM’s had its first post in October, and you’ve been very consistent with your content since. How long are you willing to keep this up? I thought I was only going to do this cult fighting magazine thing for a year and now that the anniversary has passed, I sort of can’t imagine not doing it. Will there be a point when you’ll be satisfied with your creation and will move onto something else?

Well, I am satisfied with what I have already created, but I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. I really want to grow my account and expand on my Anti-MLM content. I honestly love what I do, so, I ain’t stopping. I don’t see myself giving up on this.
