In January 2021, thousands descended on the U.S. Capitol to aid President Donald Trump in combating a shadowy cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles. Two women were among those who died that day. They, like millions of Americans, believed that a mysterious insider known as 'Q'is exposing a vast deep-state conspiracy. The QAnon conspiracy theory has ensnared many women, who identify as members of 'pastel QAnon,' answering the call to 'save the children'. With Pastels and Pedophiles, Mia Bloom and Sophia Moskalenko explain why the rise of QAnon should not surprise us: believers have been manipulated to follow the baseless conspiracy. The authors track QAnon's unexpected leap from the darkest corners of the Internet to the filtered glow of yogi-mama Instagram, a frenzy fed by the COVID-19 pandemic that supercharged conspiracy theories and spurred a fresh wave of Q-inspired violence. Pastels and Pedophiles connects the dots for readers, showing how a conspiracy theory with its roots in centuries-old anti-Semitic hate has adapted to encompass local grievances and has metastasized around the globe?appealing to a wide range of alienated people who feel that something is not quite right in the world around them. 606 $aQAnon conspiracy theory$zUnited States 606 $aWomen radicals$zUnited States 606 $aConspiracy theories$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aQAnon conspiracy theory 615 0$aWomen radicals 615 0$aConspiracy theories$xPolitical aspects 676 $a320.9730905 700 $aBloom$b Mia$f1968-$01156291 702 $aMoskalenko$b Sophia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554489103321 996 $aPastels and pedophiles$92815658 997 $aUNINA
