Crunchy Wellness Followers - Online Radicalisation Into QAnon

Media request: Project on online radicalisation in wellness/"crunchy" community Hi everyone! I'm Faye, an MA Journalism student at the University of Sheffield, UK. I'm currently working on my thesis, which is an investigation into the so-called "crunchy to alt-right pipeline" - where people with an interest in alternative health and wellness become radicalised into extremist ideologies through engaging with online communities (think the anti-vax/MAGA link on steroids). I know that the link between QAnon and wellness is strong, so I wondered if anyone has experienced this? I have done my own research by speaking to academics and creating fake social media accounts to monitor the radicalisation pathway myself. However, I would really like to speak to someone with lived experience of either themselves or a loved one becoming radicalised in this way. Ideally, this would be someone who started to engage with QAnon ideology through an initial interest in alternative health/wellness/spirituality, but if you were introduced by another route and want to share your story I'd love to hear from you too. This is initially for my MA final project, but I would also like to pitch the finished article to various news outlets once it has been marked (given that everyone involved is happy with this). I'm more than happy to discuss anonymity arrangements etc. and acknowledge the sensitivity of the topic. Comment or drop me a DM if you're interested, and we can arrange a zoom call over the next couple of weeks! Thanks for reading, I look forward to hearing from you.
