Here we go, I'm sure @Jaimas will have a lot to write about for this topic.

We all know that the Rat King is filled with toxic, arrogant individuals that don't really give much of a shit about most (if not all) of their online supporters and will on occasion rat them out or otherwise turn on them for the slightest reasons.

We know that the smaller fish in the pond are nothing more than useful idiots used by the more popular members to help shill their writing. Or used as part of an attempt at dogpiling people on twitter.

So what drives a person to encourage these people's behaviour?

And on the flip side: What drives the popular Rat Kingers to keep going on aside from having surrounded themselves with enablers?

I know it has a lot too do with being hardcore Social Justice losers, because a lot of Tumblrcows do the same exact things Rat Kings do.

Bonus: I've read stories about people who left Social Justice Activism because of the Social Justice Warriors or used to be SJWs and realized that wasn't a good path to take, have there been cases like that that are Rat King specific?
