I saw this article on a gaming console sub and half the comments were lambasting GameStop and half the comments seemed like apes defending GameStop.

I read the article and was confused and read several more and saw that their sources cited were REDDIT AND TWITTER COMMENTS.

Well that's FUDDY as hell already.

I searched on this sub to try to find more information but there was nothing.

So I made this post and was downvoted pretty much to oblivion but one comment (which was deleted but idk why) linked to a Twitter user who had messaged GameStop directly about the issue. As you can see it was simply randomized test data created by GameStop, NOT real information and the "leak" was simply a glitch that exposed it to the users. The issue was resolved within a day and it makes sense they didn't make an announcement because it wasn't a big issue and there were no damages.

Now, there are many comments on Twitter and various subs talking about this and reposting very FUDDY articles. Many of the comments are saying VERY similar things that don't make sense. For instance, a Twitter user claims that they saw their friend's credit card information pop up. Like....how tf? The chances of someone you know popping up would be insanely slim, and if it was just their credit card how would you ever think to verify that it's your friends???? I guess MAYBE if it had their name or address attached but it all seems fishy.

At any rate, after looking through this a bit it seems like a concentrated effort to put out unverified and unsubstantiated claims to allege some kind of large data breach or that your data is unsafe with GameStop when this is obviously not the case. It's FUD through and through and highly sus they're popping up everywhere all of a sudden saying the same things. It seems like someone wants to sow fear into using the GameStop website.

This makes sense because GameStop is moving into becoming an e-commerce powerhouse. Shorters who want GameStop to fail would want customers to be afraid of giving their data and buying through GameStop.

I have never had issues with the website and have been impressed at the quality of service I've received when purchasing items through it after RC's turnaround.

Anyways, wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Buy, Hodl, DRS, NFA, etc. etc.

EDIT: I wanna add that it's sus as hell that the author's of those articles NEVER REACHED OUT TO GAMESTOP DIRECTLY FOR COMMENT. Even a regard like me knows that's basic journalism yeesh. They literally pumped out articles based on random social media comments.

This is not a drill. This is not a test. This is big if true (its big and it is true). I can't believe these types of posts are requiring 250 words or more to weed out spam. I guess I get it, but it does make it challenging when you are just trying to post something SHORT AND SWEET and to the point.

Let's see if this is enough!

There is a really easy way to refute anyone that calls GME a cult, all you need to do is explain to them what the BITE test is, and that superstonk doesnt meet any of the criteria of a cult.

Chances are, if someone calls superstonk a cult, they dont know what that word means or they have never really interacted with a cult....

https://i.redd.it/z23iiza73c2a1.jpg


What is the BITE Model? Coined by Dr. Steven Hassan, whom himself was once stuck in a cult, the BITE Model is a tool for the Strategic Interactive Approach (SIA) of helping those who need intervention to be removed from a cult.

TW: there are some very real, and very terrible hallmarks of a cult. I will list them below, as defined by Dr. Hassan and outlined in work by Leon Festinger, Robert Jay LiftonMargaret SingerEdgar ScheinLouis Jolyon West

More info on the BITE Model available here: https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/

Terrible consequences if you leave: hell, demon possession, incurable diseases, accidents, suicide, insanity, 10,000 reincarnations, etc.c. Shunning of those who leave; fear of being rejected by friends and familyd. Never a legitimate reason to leave; those who leave are weak, undisciplined, unspiritual, worldly, brainwashed by family or counselor, or seduced by money, sex, or rock and rolle. Threats of harm to ex-member and family


As you can see from the above list, Superstonk and GameStop investors do not meet any of the core 4 requirements of a cult. Not even close...

So don't get upset when someone says you are in a cult, just educate them on what a cult actually is.

This sub is a bastion of free speech, free investing, free markets, and peer reviewed information dissemination.
