Predators. They're predators.

So a couple of things
1. Witch is a gender neutral term
2. Not really sure how anyone practicing witchcraft at home is suddenly a "predator"
3. Not a man.
All that aside, you respond to a video criticizing someone literally targeting vulnerable people to take advantage of them, and your reaction is "the person doing the criticizing is just as bad because of the gender identity I assume they are?"
Like seriously, what the fuck.
Trae: hey, there's a pervasive problem in my community of people conflating neurodivergent coping mechanisms as magical powers and using that conflation as a means to create an insular community which if gone unchecked can turn into an abusive situation where people can get hurt.
This rando: Ah, but I can see by your video that you are not what I consider female and therefore YOU are the abuser! Checkermate!
Seriously. Even setting aside the fact that Trae is not a man (the big genderqueer flag is visible in every frame, but I guess not everyone is familiar with that flag). There is so much wrong with the mindset that witches have to be female (and implied here as gender-conforming cis female) but also... just to touch...
Women can be predators. Women can be abusers. Women are fully capable of manipulating people for personal gain, whether that be for money or for something even worse. Women are not exempt from criticism of their actions.
I swear to every god. If you think women can't be predatory then you have never had a friend from high school guilt you into a mlm scheme.
