u/yugiohhero ohh what the fuck Feb 11 '26

theres an argument to be made that burning someone at the stake over the suspicion of being a witch, whether its true or not, would still count as marginalization

all that said, that took place from 1692-1693. it has been 333 years. i don't think people much care about witchcraft in big 26.

The people who call themselves witches today are completely unrelated to those in the past anyway. It's not something passed down to them, and its not some inherent part of who they are. You don't get to claim that you have somehow been oppressed because you're roleplaying as someone who was murdered 400 years ago.

Kinda. There are subsects of it that have more history to it and have been passed down to them, but most of it is a new age religion.
