there’s something very funny developing on reddit today
If anyone is curious as to why the second poster is calling them out, the comments explain it but basically: the Westboro Baptist Church really isn’t a large group, it mostly consists of a single family. Apparently YesThisIsHappening is an actual, confirmed ex-member of the WBC who has been on Reddit for years and has even done an AMA (Ask Me Anything) about his experiences.
Because the WBC is so small and outside members coming in is so rare, YesThisIsHappening was able to eliminate possible ex-WBC members as suspects and realize Elys was full of shit. But according to people who have reblogged this post, the mods of r/HarryPotter have taken down YesThisIsHappening’s rebuttal post while keeping up Elys’s post (probably because it’s driving traffic to their sub and painting the series in a positive light).
Tbh this is so fucking funny. Anyone who knows even a little bit about the WBC knows that despite its notoriety it’s extremely small and close-knit and therefore very easy to prove if someone is lying about being part of it. Elys could have just said they were from a Quiverfull family or even a FLDS cult but I guess they had to go with the flashier name instead.
