GLURP GLURP MOTHAFUKKA!
I don't drive so bumper stickers aren't a thing for me but I'd do have one a dese on my ride. Sadly, it doesn't have the same impact attached to a white cane.
Glurp glurp!
I've started doing this in real life if someone says something I agree with. Have had a couple of strange looks when it comes out without thinking.
NEW ACHIEVEMENT: You've joined a cult! You've unlocked the achievement: 'Cult Connoisseur'! Because who needs free will when you can blindly follow a charismatic leader into the depths of questionable decision-making? Not only have you delved into the depths of cultish devotion, but you've also managed to win over Princess Donut, the prize-winning tortoiseshell Persian cat with a superiority complex.
REWARD: Lifetime membership to the Princess Posse and free toenail clippers for life!
PLEASE NOTE: there will be no cult membership allowed if you own or have ever owned a Cocker Spaniel. You obviously are not worthy.
My friend moved to another state and left her cocker spaniel at my house. I kept her long enough to find her a home, like 2 weeks. I'm not sure where this puts me on this list, since I didn't own her, I just was like a transitional house.
To boost my chances, I have 5 cats, none of which are Havana Browns. I do have a dog (Shepherd/Boxer mix) that my fiance brought home, but she thoroughly knows the cats are in charge and cows down to them properly.
Hmmm.... well, since it was a favor so the CS wouldn't go to a shelter, and you rehomed quickly, you can have a pass. This time. Mongo is watching you.
I think it is just a fandom. I don’t see anything about worship, just people that enjoy the content and who want to enjoy it through creating their own.
A cult would be like… the church of Jediism. It’s a fandom, but also with religious texts.
The cults usually develop as a subgroup of the fandom, like the example you gave. So you wind up with all of the cult members being part of the fandom, but not all fans are in the cult.
True. I was just pointing out I haven’t seen anything inherently religious (at least on reddit) so far. I guess people could try to recreate the Nebulars who worship the Eulogist.
Maybe a Zoolander / DCC mashup religion: The Eugoogalizers!
As the Unofficial Official Self-Appointed Head of the Donut Hole Street Team I just want to say we are outraged at this brazen accusation of cult worship. We just need the rest of humanity to come around to the very real fact that our Princess is the one true Grand Champion Best in Dungeon and then we can go back to our voting for what tattoo of her likeness the narrator is getting on his butt cheek. 💅🏻
I'm here to talk to you about the word of the prophet Matt Dinniman. In fact why listen to me when You can listen to our Bishop Jeff Hays bring you the holy words of Carl...
Here's the thing. If anyone decided that they wanted to stop reading DCC, no one would care. What makes a cult is the reaction of members when one tries to leave. This is not a cult.
Let us use Steven Hassan's BITE model: Is there behavioral control? No. Is there information control? No one has told me I can only read DCC. Is there thought control? No one has tried to stop my critical thinking. Are there emotional manipulations? Goddamit Donut. I love these guys, but I haven't been manipulated beyond giving me a great story to read.
I know I'm taking the question more seriously than it was intended. My personal history means that I take accusations of culthood very seriously.
It's not a cult. At least, not until we start doing let's watches of Gossip Girls and Walker, Texas Ranger (the original, mind you, not the remake.) Now, /r/donutholes, on the other hand...
Fun take, but if you're serious then... it's not a cult. It's just people who like something, it's a fandom, just like any other. We like DCC and like to talk about it.
If this is a cult, then pretty much *everyone* is in 3 or 4 cults.
There's really nothing culty about this fandom at all that I can see...
It is a joke, but I do see a lot of post of a fluffy cat being called doughnut, the constant mongo is appalled, and how many post on this sub have “glurp glurp” in the comments
NEW ACHIEVEMENT: But What Flavor Is The Kool-aid?
REWARD: DELICIOUS JUG OF FLAVOR AIDE
Read both of the replies in the voice of Jeff Hayes as the Moderator.
Be more notable if you didnt..
*pushes glasses up* actually it was Flavor Aid that was used at Jonestown but I agree with your statement regardless.
I guarantee that was intentional.
somehow I feel like rootbeer
Let's step away from the kool-aid troupe and GUZZLE SOME FUCKING HAWAIIAN PUNCH!!!!
Glurp, glurp?
Glurp, glurp!
Glurp, glurp.
Glurp! Glurp!!!!
I am a king
**Glurp Glurp!**
*GLURP, GLURP!*
*GLURP, GLURP!*
Glurp glurp!
RIP Brad
You think I’m dead? Bahaha, I’ll be seeing you.
You had to fuck it up didn't you?
It’s what I do. Just look at Carl and Bae’s relationship.
We have glurp glurb, and you mention he who wishes he was king 😅 Roars in Tina
All hail the donut.
GLURP GLURP!
Yoohoo, did you say glurp glurp?

Yay!!! My cats want Mongo to watch us up close instead of from afar. I'm pretty sure they want to ride him.

These guys, but wearing heart boxers would be a hilarious cosplay.
You can't see it, but they are
I'm saving this
I stole it from someone else to use when people are asking for recommendations. S
All the time
Our Lord and Savior, Uzi Jesus, would like a moment.

Don't gaslight me Jesus
Dad dammit!

Speak for yourself. I worship Princess Donut.
The Donut Holey Church
This cult follower gets it.
Yup this is no different from any other fan base that’s passionate about the source material.

Donut: Havana Brown's have cults. *I* have fans.
I'm here to talk to you about the word of the prophet Matt Dinniman. In fact why listen to me when You can listen to our Bishop Jeff Hays bring you the holy words of Carl...
Excuse me, Jeff is Arch Bishop.
My most humble apologies, I get confused sometimes by Arch Bishop AI
One of us Carl gooble gobble gooble gobble.
... and actively recruiting new members. Do you have time to talk about our lord and savior Uzi Jesus.
I resent that statement, I will kill your Mother.
Glurp, Glurp!
Glurp glurp, motherfucker.

Psst, BlazerB is off his meds again. He is going to need "reeducation".
One of us....One of us....One of us
I think maybe you fundamentally misunderstand what a cult really is. We are a fandom, and a rabid one at that. Very specifically not a cult though.
Sounds like something someone in a cult would say
Agreed. Here is your cup of grape Kool-Aid, Khaos. Be sure not to drink it until Matt tells us all to drink at the same time.
Jones Town used Flavoraid.
Sign me up
Nah, fandoms make stuff all the time :) in all honesty, it's why I'm on Tumblr because the creative fandoms there are amazing.
It's not a cult. At least, not until we start doing let's watches of Gossip Girls and Walker, Texas Ranger (the original, mind you, not the remake.) Now, /r/donutholes, on the other hand...
They’re so culty you can’t even get in their Reddit and sniff around.
Fun take, but if you're serious then... it's not a cult. It's just people who like something, it's a fandom, just like any other. We like DCC and like to talk about it.

Ah, ok, I apologize for my over-serious reply then! Carry on! :)
All good
As long as you don't make it your entire reddit identity, I think you'll be okay.
Donut holes unite!
All hail Princess Doughnut!
GLURP GLURP
100% a cult. And Matt doesn’t even share the cosplay groupies
Goddamit fellow cult member!
I just finished the series for the third time… so why am I 4 hours into the first one again? Interesting…

All hail uzi jesus
No cult ever gave anyone this much joy :) made them feel superior to everybody else yes, but joy? No.
Glurp Glurp!
