Peace Sign Lady Goes Back to Relatable Reese
EDIT: According to a commenter below, Peace Lady has NOT defected back to Reese. Apologies.
In Reese's recent stream where she learned while live that KH had retired, right as Reese was being told the news, she popped in to the chat saying KH and Goot were gone. It was odd. Like, hearing KH and Goot back off somehow seemed to cause Peace Lady to go back to Reese? Then sent a chat saying it was all a misunderstanding. She had been very vocal online in her criticism of Reese, though I don't know what caused her to leave RR in the first place. But whatever the reason was, it clearly didn't stick.
It was sickening watching Reese gloat about KH and she kept saying "they had won", and all the celebration donations coming in.
And then last night, another ex member whom Reese met in AZ, and who was also critical of Reese online, popped back up tonight in RR's chat wanting to be welcomed back.
I've actually seen a surprisingly high number of this happening with ex subscribers to RR. A disturbing trend and a head-scratcher...some of the unknown names might be sock accounts pretending to be ex fans coming back, but there have been plenty where it IS the original person.
I think this phenomenon really highlights how deep brainwashing goes, coupled with extreme loneliness and a desparate need for belonging...and how easily swayed and influenced people can be.
If one didn't experience the Club of Reese, it's hard to understand. I too find myself at times missing that feeling of being welcomed in and the illusion of being part of a group. And contrary to what is said, she doesn't just welcome the ones paying for the chat. She makes sure to spread it out towards at least a few nonpaying subscribers, too. I think that is a tactic, plus it is obvious you get WAY MORE attention if you pay, and of course there are plenty she doesn't really pay aytention to at all. But she foes have a special way of maki g you feel welcomed--and it is bone-chilling to then realize the level of control and manipulation she is exerting while greeting you with a smile and warm welcome.
So I get it, to a degree, that the parasocial pull can trump reasoning for some people apparently. I just don't get going back after seeing her for what she is. It would feel like a betrayal of myself going back to that. And would make me feel gross, no way I could never enjoy that after waking up. I guess some peoples' scruples just aren't that strong. These people don't just come back, they will often grovel and apologize profusely for their prior betrayals. It wouldn't be as bad if these people had casually find came back, but some of these people were truly awakened to her evilness, and still crawled back. People like that are almost as frightening as Reese.
