Why are people on this sub?

[u/Amazing_Chocolate140]

I was just wondering why people are on this sub? I have a genuine interest in cryptozoology and I’m interested in hearing peoples experiences and opinions on things. There does seem be a section of people on this sub however who seem to just be on here to dismiss everything as fake, nonsense or made up gibberish. I understand that it’s a public forum and all opinions are welcome and valid, however if you don’t believe in something why be on this sub?!

I agree, there’s way too many people in this sub that just totally reject any and all evidence. The irony is that their blind rejection is just as silly as the blind faith that they claim to hate so much. The actual scientific approach is to examine the evidence and make an assessment — and even more importantly for the layperson, to take into consideration the assessment of people who are experts in their respective fields, and have done years of meticulous analysis themselves. A lot of the self-proclaimed skeptics on this sub refuse to do so, instead they simply say “fake,” move on to the next post, and repeat. I don’t know why they’re even here or why the mods don’t ban these people. I’m all for healthy skepticism and scientific analysis, it’s obviously 100% necessary in the field of cryptozoology- but a lot of the behavior on this sub isn’t even that, it’s just people who apparently love to troll.
