Her dad is a big dude in hardcore calvinist apologetics. I can’t remember the org name but like - hard hardcore fundies.
there’s a poetic irony in target fixating so hard on avoiding one set of weird nutbaggery to then end up as one of the central figures in another bit of nutbaggery…
A lot of these people come from the ex-fundie world. This has been noted with other cults too.
Iirc she comes from a weird religious background, so her not wanting to be connected back to that isn’t not that sneerworthy.
