  perhaps you can explain why correcting a myth (that folklore creatures were always allegory an not literal belief,) means I was hurt?

  or perhaps you can address what I said.

  belief in folklore predates blaming the creatures in folklore for things. things like nocturnal emissions, as an example. they’d have blame something else if they didn’t already believe in demons. (specifically succubi.)

  these beliefs weren’t allegory. it was literally a demon haunted world. And for many, it still is.
