I think it's mostly because I've had an academic interest in religion/magic/mythology since I was young. Stuff like The greater key of Solomon, The Munich manual of Demonic magic, etc says an incredible amount about how humans viewed the world. But instead of following the rich and storied history available to them, they ignore the entire canon and think
corn syrup is an offering to something that could destroy you on a whim. Oh wait, I forgot that gods are apparently the same thing as holistic therapists for your myriad of psychiatric issues. There is at no point in
any mythology the idea that gods are there to soothe your fat girl woes. They are the literal manifestations of the extremes of human behavior and nothing beyond that because they were, wait for it,
invented by human beings who didn't know anything else. It's like fandom or something to these people, where they just ignore anything they don't like and ship random shit together because it gets their lady parts all tingly. And where in the fuck did get the idea you have to be a basic sjw bitch to practice magic? Again, you're literally just pretending that history doesn't exist at the point because almost all of the known historical practitioners were men. You know, warlocks? I'm generally pretty forgiving of youth culture because we were all stupid kids at some point, but something I've noticed is that this generation is so bereft of creativity they're literally just reliving the 80's & 90's because they
wish they were gen x/y, but since they don't have any understanding of the social climate of the time it's this soulless copy of a copy of a copy. I honestly feel like I'm living through the time when The Craft came out, but then I think back and the people I knew who were into that movie actually went out and started looking into the actual history. I'm sure some people were running around try to summon
MANNO but I never met them. It's just, don't pretend to be into something that's likely existed since the time of cave dwellers in prehistory when you can't even be arsed to learn basic shit.
