    Actually, that’s amazing. Like even if you believe in these things, the karmic “payback” for trying to do evil with it is paid immediately by being scammed.

        Who said anything about a man actively hurting a woman? It is possible they did not connect on an emotional or intellectual level and the woman did not accept this.

          You did, when you refused to think about what you’re saying and what’s actually happening.

          You know there are women who get raped and abused by these men, who are denied help by communties run by sexist pieces of shit like you, whose only hope for recourse is magic they buy.

          Yet in your mind it’s okay to scam them because they’re doing something wrong but not the predatory incel pervs looking for an easy mark to exploit and rape online?

          Fuck outta here with your guilt tripping bullshit. You’re not gonna make these scammers OR their customers feel like shit so you can have someone to feel superior to you. Go touch some grass.

            Slandering basically everyone who hasn’t considered your angle on this isn’t in anyway productive fam, for them or for you especially; not everyone is complicit because they haven’t looked past the surface level of this and the sort of scenarios that might lead to a woman developing mental illness and seeking nonsense “help” from random Internet scammers.

      It is a real thing but I would advise you to be careful what you fuck with. You can think I’m crazy for this advice and I’m cool with that. My response would be to repeat what I just fucking said.

      My wife and I got scammed like that years ago. We met on Omegle back when it was new and then got married nearly a decade later. Fucking internet scams…

      The fact is that you’ll be filter fed morons who impulsively spend money AND have the money to spare.

      This is the same rationalisation the gambling industry used.

      And then the gaming industry.

      And we know from those instances they’re often not morons, they have mental health issues, or are exceedingly lonely. And they often don’t have the money to spare either, those dollars are food being taken out of their or their family’s mouths.

      But feel free to tell yourself whatever robin hood bullshit you need to if it helps you sleep at night.

      Don’t try and make out that this is some sexist thing, you and tumblr OP are both trying to justify scamming people who you think are bad or stupid. This is the justification that every scammer uses, from the Indian call centres who install malware on old people’s computers (because they are rich and they deserve to be scammed) to the full-on sociopaths who set up pyramid schemes (they deserve it because they’re stupid enough to trust me!)

          How can they be sexist when their comment makes absolutely no difference between the sexes?

          They don’t even mention male or female.

          Sounds like you are just projecting.

      Girlboss, slay.

      To the people criticizing her: yeah sure it’s bad, but then, why are the top comments defending the OP? Surely OP is doing the same thing right? Right? Oh but he’s a man doing it to women…

    The laws on false advertising and such straight up only protect reasonable people. If you make a claim that a reasonable person wouldn’t believe, and someone unreasonable does believe it, have you even committed a crime? 🤔

    Like psychics exist. But they peddle bullshit. Why is that legal?

      Completely agree. I think it’s based on provability though. You can’t prove that a psychic is lying unless you have an admission of guilt from them. Same with people who cast ‘spells’ or who go up on stage preaching this incredibly dangerous “law of attraction” garbage. They’re all utter bullshit but none of them are provably bullshit.

    I used to work with a guy who sold “haunted jewellery”. He made decent money occasionally. Not job money, but decent hobby money.

    Just look up orgone accumulator on Etsy. Just throw a bunch of copper and crystals at each other and watch the money flow in.

    If you are actively trying to cause someone else (especially reoccurring) harm, I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for you if it doesn’t work. I hope that karma does get you back if that stuff exists, because you earned it.

    Have the courage to own your shit if you insist on trying to do that to someone. Take an ounce of accountability and maybe rethink some of your life decisions. (Probably for about 98% of these situations.)

    Yes, we all get mad. That being said, most of us don’t try to literally curse someone over it. Reasonable people usually talk it out and problem solve, not try to play god using the abilities that they believe someone else has.

      Hey friend, just curious and out of the loop. Where did the other user speak about scamming men?

          It’s obvious what’s been going on now.

          I would ask you to clarify. But I’ve read your comment on \u\smeg, who commented on the now deleted post of \u\sheeple, and it didn’t get any clearer.

          You seem very passionate about the subject, by it isn’t really clear if you condone or oppose the same thing being done to men.

          But overall you seem to generalize a lot about all of us, calling us sexist and being quite conspiracy-like about it, if we all share a similar agenda.

          I don’t thing that is the case, most of us aren’t that passionate about the subject and just scrolling for memes.

          Generally though, your writing style is very incoherent, and you don’t really get your point across very well. You’re also coming across as aggressive with the way you use words. Both of these are why people are downvoting you.

          Wow. That sucks that everything was deleted, but maybe someone learned something and changed their mind.

          There’s no law against lying on the internet, and the men getting scammed were paying for an experience that to their perception they were getting. I feel that’s an apt comparison to this case, and understand now why you are so upset by the double standard. I think maybe the person who disagreed has an easier time relating to those lonely men than the desperate women.
