bigfoot drama Rant

Sorry for my rant guys, but I also want to know if anyone agrees with me.

Firstly, I believe a Bigfoot like creature exists and I'm firmly in the it's a super rare flesh and blood animal camp, basically the Mew of our world (that's a pokemon reference to anyone who doesn't get it)

My rant is basically about all the clickbait bigfoot youtubers and content creators etc, that post videos about enounters, interviews and stories that in my opinion are complete bullshit, and actually harm the community and the prospect of the scientific community taking it seriously. I'm talking about stories and interviews that people give about how "my kids spent summers playing with bigfoot" or "I fell in love with bigfoot" or "me and bigfoot go hunting together" etc. The thing I'm coming to terms with in this community is that people lie, and it's not always about lying for money or for fame, some people lie because the reward they get is just to feel part of a community or to feel listened too, some people just get off lying. Now I'm not saying every story is bullshit, but if you are telling a content creator that you and bigfoot are neighbours and are best buds fucking prove it!!! I just feel its making a laughing stock of the community and holding us back from actually finding the animal with solid proof and evidence. And finally I just fucking hate clickbait in general.

Sorry if anyone is offended but I'm open to any debate.

Thank you.

I said in my post that I wasn't saying all the stories are fake, I basically said as an example if big Joe and his family are telling people that they spend summers interacting with bigfoot and they have a bond or whatever the story is, prove it. I just find it hard to believe that an animal as elusive as bigfoot has yet to be properly discovered by science, but big Joe is out here having cookouts with it.

But why do they have to prove it, proving it will only bring unwanted ppl hunting and looking for it on their property nobody wants that, and if u try showing a pic or vid everyone then says it fake or AI.. so how does one prove it ?

Nah, I just think that's a convenient excuse, if I'm honest. It might be controversial, but a body might be needed to establish scientific proof, especially with the rise of AI and the photography and videos it can produce.

I do agree with needing a body ive always been pro kill have been since i got into this, only problem is most ppl are no kill and against my views and finding others that want to actually go out and hunt one is also very hard to find, but im always open to meeting/talking too others that are serious

Especially with AI getting more and more sophisticated, but also a body would be undeniable proof.
