      I have genuinely never understood it.

      People heard the horror stories, and not only were they like “yeah I’ll do that,” they wanted to eventually do it to others.

        Trauma bonding + a bit of Stockholm syndrome and you have made perfect little upper middle class secret keepers under authority that will be perfect for perpetuating systems of financial fraud, corruption, child trafficking, and apparently CSA rings.

      This is genuinely so strange to me. I wouldn’t generally mind that one has to somehow prove themselves to be able to join but just to humiliate other because it’s something you had to endure few years earlier makes no sense to me and I don’t want anything to do with a club that does that. I’m far more likely to find likeminded people within the group who chose not to join for the same reason.
