    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.
