>>82157581 (OP)People that had abusive dumb parents are easily drawn to anything that seems "magical" whether it's astrology, aliens, mysticism, occult, religions, cryptids, conspiracy theories etc women and men both. It's a childish wish for the world to be more whimsical and exciting and mysterious. Because real life is brutal, boring, unfair, hard and mostly stupid. They want their life to be like a movie, a anime, a fairytale etc they want to feel special and like their existence on this rock is a big important deal. Their ego can't handle the bleak truth that none of it matters and they don't matter and the bullshit they been through and suffered is all for nothing.
