Yes, I know. To be honest, I have done some thinking about this. I think the reason I do it is for the following reasons;
1). I’m someone who wants these things to be real, but I’ve been burned so many times by this that now I’m trying to keep it from happening to others.
2). I’m also a miserable person, and well misery loves company.
However, I’d also like to bring up Plato’s “Cave of Enlightenment”, where it’s up to those who’ve seen the sun to drag others out of the cave whether they want to or not for their own good.
It should also be noted that sometimes I do wonder what would happen if people were forced to live in a constantly “negatively perceived” reality.

I think you’re trying to “correct” people who aren’t willing to listen. If you push them, they will stand their grounds. Think of the Old Testament where the pharaoh of Egypt refused to let the Hebrews go until it cost him his son, and even that tried to kill them afterwards. That is the type of people you’re trying to change.

@Meanlucario
OK, but what about people NEEDING, especially now, to live in a constant reality, negative though it may be, as well as trying to make a HUGE demarcation between fantasy and reality? You’ve seen all that stuff about SJW’s, as well as antivaxxers and flat-earthers, and just what that kind of thinking can lead to, and while I can understand needing something to escape to when reality gets a bit too much, wanting fantasy to become reality is just foolish, and these people need to be forced to realize that.

I don’t even understand how this fooled anyone. There are good-quality faked videos and photos…. and then there are clearly pants on a wire.

@Lord Of Dorkness
You make some good points there, especially with reason “A”. However, we must ruin everyone else’s fun in order to keep them permanently grounded in reality, or else people will continue to believe these things, and that must not be allowed.

To be fair, there’s been a couple of phenomenon I’m old enough to recall when they were ONLY in the cryptozology books and supernatural books as a kid, that actually HAS been validated by science slash the grand spread of smart-phone cameras since then.
Big ones off the top of my head: Ball lightning got proven as a rare form of atmospheric plasma, and somebody actually managed to snap pics & video of a live giant squid. Both those things used to be scoffed at as photo artifacts slash hoaxes and badly decayed whales or seals, respectfully.
So yeah. Going to go out on a limb and guess that haunted pants aren’t real, to be fair… but just thought it worth pointing out that investigating the ‘supernatural’ is still a worthwhile scientific endeavor. Because A,) it can tell you HOW those scams were done, and B,) every odd blue moon it turns out that, holy shit, we missed a really cool animal or natural phenomenon for a couple centuries.
