Fam

November 22, 2023

Ironically, the only public ban notice available on MPA refers to Fam, an Oera Linda cult member who was accused of poaching women from all three sister-sites. Annea minimized the offense publicly stating she was “low-key recruiting”, admitting she is only reluctantly banned Fam because of public outrage that built from Aug 2017 to Nov 2020. Again, Annea misrepresents reality to hide her failings by stating: “fam was here for years and wasn’t posting threads about the group [...] (until recently)” which is factually incorrect as the cult was linked to members and advertised in their signature as early as June 2014.

When being called out in a thread (Mods fucking suck - Sept 2020) for allowing Fam to remain on the site after Anamiaguchi banned Fam from Pancake’s, Annea tells the concerned member that they “are free to leave the site if it is harmful to you.” She then bolsters her proactive moderation and “[investigation skills] across all fronts''.

In a message to a friend, Annea admits that she is aware that this cult has been associated with multiple reports of females’ joining and disappearing. After banning Fam from MPA, Annea messaged them on EDC to offer friendship as she truly does believe Fam is not harmful. In the process, members were banned from MPA for drawing attention to the issue and Annea attempted to silence the outrage in Jan 2018 and Apr 2020 by pushing people to report “PRIVATELY because that actually ACCOMPLISH something” as she intended to intimidate members into silence but ultimately failed.

Unfortunately, I must inform the community that we found posts dating back from 2006 exposing that the Oreo Linda cult was started by a man named “Tony”. On these message boards, another “trainee” stated there is no age requirement for applicants although they must be virgins and remain celibate. When questioned about the validity of the lifestyle, a “trainee” stated that the cult considers oral sex (fellatio) to “hardly count as sex” as the pleasure it is not reciprocal for the female involved. In 2008, Tony was forced to rebrand into the guise of a “female-only'' cult due to his reputation as an alleged predator.

This thread starts with Fam's Ban notice, then continues in a historical timeline ending with the information we found concerning Tony and the 2006 exposes.

Fam required moderation 3 times. The first two were the result of their racism which was just disregarded. The 3rd interference in 2017 resulted in the questioning of their intention of being on the site.
