QAnon was compromised by the lapdog media...
Much in the same way the TeaParty fell to sh*t after being told by the IntelCommunity that they needed “leaders”.
That occurred sometime later. Prior to that the media tried to ignore Q. During that time we all used the term Qanon. Q even used the term in his posts. It wasn’t until the media decided to demonize the movement and appropriated the term, that Q made the distinction and essentially declared that the term should no longer be used.
