| Self-portrait by Kurt Draven from his manifesto Codex Veritas Neo |
In the early years of this blog, I noted Kurt Draven, a fellow who'd started a cult where he claimed to be Neo out of The Matrix (a trans dude in an era before the Wachowskis came out, which says a lot I suppose). I critiqued his idealism and he came into the comments to whine at me.
Now I find out, years later, that it wasn't the first or the last cult he'd created; that he'd also been Fox Mulder and Angel out of Buffy and went on to be Anakin motherfucking Skywalker; that he was a multiple drug addict and arrested for several crimes. And all this without the charm and grace of my other favourite dubiously-multiple, possibly-faking-illness, fanfic-based cult leader, Andy Blake.
