摘要：
随着极端信息在社交网站上泛滥，Reddit等平台被用于建立支持群组，包括为极端化个体的亲友提供支持的社区。本研究考察了subreddit r/QAnonCasualties，这是一个供被QAnon极端化的用户亲友使用的在线论坛。我们收集了2021年7月至2022年7月期间发布的1,665篇帖子和78,171条评论，并对热门帖子的突出主题进行了内容编码。还对所有帖子进行了情感分析。我们发现发泄、寻求建议与认同，以及拒绝接种COVID-19疫苗的压力是突出主题。40%（n=167）的编码帖子将用户的Q关系认定为父母，16.3%（n=68）认定为伴侣。包含较高比例脏话、社交指代词和生理需求词汇的帖子与互动参与度呈正相关。这些发现展示了QAnon追随者周边社区利用匿名在线空间寻求和提供社会支持的方式。
英文摘要：
As radical messaging has proliferated on social networking sites, platforms like Reddit have been used to host support groups, including support communities for the families and friends of radicalized individuals. This study examines the subreddit r/QAnonCasualties, an online forum for users whose loved ones have been radicalized by QAnon. We collected 1,665 posts and 78,171 comments posted between 7/2021 and 7/2022 and content coded top posts for prominent themes. Sentiment analysis was also conducted on all posts. We find venting, advice and validation-seeking, and pressure to refuse the COVID-19 vaccine were prominent themes. 40% (n=167) of coded posts identified the Q relation(s) of users as their parent(s) and 16.3% (n=68) as their partner. Posts with higher proportions of words related to swearing, social referents, and physical needs were positively correlated with engagement. These findings show ways that communities around QAnon adherents leverage anonymous online spaces to seek and provide social support.
