Real talk. I haven't seen much about Gnosticism until the past few years when it started popping up exponentially.
I blame Genshin Impact for the phenomena.
Kids these days learning about Gnosticism from Genshin Impact, the Millennials gained their Gnosis playing the Persona games.
I'll have you know I received both gnosticism and sudden gender anxiety from the Matrix films
Idk if Philip Pullman is cancelled for being a lib and sort of defending a much worse (transphobic) writer, but I think a few of us first ran into it in a semiserious way reading him
His killing god content at least was very based
(I'm personally ok with having problematic faves on his level and frankly much worse but I see some potential for fuzz on this issue given that he's still alive and actively posting; don't know what the consensus here is as I'm pretty new)
I first heard it from a highly underrated fantasy series called The Prince of Nothing where gnostic sorcerers are like walking weapons of mass destruction that level cities with geometric math magic. Those books were so metal.
HERESY!! It is no other than the work of His Holiness St. Bhagwan Shree Matt Christman (PBUH) in spreading the divine Truth in our species' war against the Demiurge
(Wait Genshin Impact has a Gnosticism component? I thought it was only good for sexy twinks...)
Persona 5 can also be partly blamed
