Isa Medina: 本期节目讨论单身派对中体现出的邪教特征,例如新娘和伴娘的权威控制、社会隔离、极端信仰以及对单身个体的盲目崇拜。这些特征使得单身派对不仅仅是简单的庆祝活动,更像是一种群体行为,对参与者产生一定的影响。 Hannah Berner: 我本人经历过一次单身派对,它包含了各种邪教元素,例如主题服装、仪式、计划活动、群体压力以及对新娘的盲目服从。虽然过程中也存在权力斗争和朋友之间的矛盾,但最终大家还是达成了某种程度上的融合和共识。单身派对的体验因人而异,有些朋友是真心享受,有些朋友则是为了避免更糟糕的情况而参与其中。 Hannah Berner: 我起初并不想举办单身派对,也不想请伴娘,因为觉得很费力。但最终我还是举办了,部分原因是不想让人觉得我很失败。我承认举办单身派对是出于自我满足,这与邪教领袖拥有巨大自我的特点相似。我的朋友们为了避免让我不高兴,隐瞒了一些事情,这与邪教中对领袖的维护类似。我通过玩弄心理战术来操纵其他人,这与邪教领袖的操控手段类似。我享受权力,但我也愿意分享权力,让其他人也有机会展现自我。
