This gatekeeping is scary

This is called hyperbole, and you know it is

Just for reference because you love playing the victim it seems

Here’s a short list of things a cult does behavior wise that most Mercy’s are doing as well:

• The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader and regards their beliefs, ideology, and practices as the truth/law – I’ve hardly seen Mercy’s question whether or not the entire idea of Mass rez is good for anyone except Mercy if they follow the idea of Reverting her
• Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished — Yes, all non-mercy’s are “punished” through mass flags or discouraged through massive uproar from a select few who, in turn, get upvoted by other Mercys
• The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel – Essentially, you’re either for revert/rework or not a true Mercy main. Though this may not be the goal, it’s certainly the implication.
• Mind-altering practices (such as chanting) are used in excess to suppress doubts about the idea of the group – This is what we like to call spam
• The group has a polzarizing “us vs them” mentality – This has been a thing since her rework and it’s not Blizzard’s fault here
• The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means necessary to achieve their goal – Many Mercy’s have been punished from spamming or trolling, yet they continue to come back under the idea that proceeding with the spam is going to accomplish their goal.
• The most loyal members feel as though there is no life outside of the group – Many mercys feel as there is no game without her being in her previous state, despite there being quite a few other heroes.

You have said Mercy players are in a cult, proceed to quote a book on how to “cure” them and then pull a Keemstar and ask, wHy AM I STILL GetTTIng HATE?
