I looked for the video and came across a reddit thread about it. Here are two really funny comments:
Oh yeah that's why it didn't work
No true witch!
So, they're saying that the magic is real, but I can't just go to a crazy old crone's potions shop and purchase a curse on someone because that's not how it works? Well, that's disappointing.
Edit: "no true witch" = hilarious
It's a take on the logical fallacy: No True Scotsman
I got it :) It was hilarious.
Well, yeah. Didn’t you see that documentary The Craft? There’s also that really old documentary about life in like 15th century New England about that family that gets cursed by the witch and then the daughter joins a coven. They have footage of her flying. I think it was called The VVitch.
Honestly though, it does point out how stupid rage-baiting is. This guy genuinely thinks that they must care about his opinion and when they ignore him for being a weird little tit he spends a whole lot of effort to try to say that that’s proof that their thing isn’t real. For one it’s trying to prove a negative, and two it’s just such a weird, self-absorbed thing to do.
Chasing hate from others is such a weird thing to do. I don’t think magic is real but I’d still rather be friends with some random person who thinks it is than be anywhere near this fuckin’ douchebag.
Eroding your critical thinking to the point where your think magic is real can be damaging. I see this man as doing a public service no different than flat earth debunking. People need to understand BS when they see it and this guy is helping.
I'm not defending the guy here (he does seem like a douchebag) but I think I'd rather hang out with a skeptic than someone dumb enough to believe crystals have healing energies.
Plus, the videos exist because the witches didn't ignore him. No shortage of magic-believers in the replies.
None of this is newsworthy but I'm cringing harder at the angry replies than the fact that he's rage baiting
The witches’ personalities are built on nonsense, sure, but I’d rather that than a person whose personality seems to be enjoying increasing hateful energy. It reads as someone who says that any and all criticism is “just people being haters”. I wouldn’t want to hang out with any of these people but I’m standing by my position that trolls are just pathetic, negatively impactful people.
He's having a laugh. They're the ones bringing "hateful energy" into the world... And it's not like he's the first one they've angrily hexed
In the absence of any other information at all, sure I guess I agree, but like basically anything else is more important than this, like being a caring person, being fun to talk to, etc.
You're right but I was just using the criteria they were to decide
