Blogpost #8 Fairies are Real!

Many have been debating whether fairies are real or not. A lot of fairy fanatics were wild about the topic, it's quite difficult to argue with them because there were some incidents wherein some who claim that fairies are fake were moved to protective custody because they're having threats.

Fanatics claim that fairies are true because of the various evidences, may it be thru photography, literature or stories that claims to have an encounter with faes.

When researching about proofs about fairies existence, the Cottingley story is quite the most famous. In the site pixiesarereal.weebly the Cottingley photography was stated. Also, it claims that it is the scientific evidence because it has the story of the skeleton body of a fairy that was found.

It is stated that " Many believe this to be fake, but why would anyone fake this? Look at how amazing! If you look closely, there is still hair left. Also, the wings look like leaves, which is why we can't see them easy. They camouflage.", this is regarding the skeleton of the fairy.

I agree to that statement because if you will think about it, why would you waste your time capturing such nonsense? It is kind of irrational for me if you'll do that. The features of the fairy itself is really believable. I believe that during the year that the picture was taken, photo editing back then is not that good. The details of the picture is pretty awesome, it is also stated that if you look closely, you'll see some hair left. Really wonderful, isn't it?

The other article that caught my attention was kind of different from the previous article. In the article Claims that fairies aren't real not supported by evidence by The New Age Man, it tells about the annual fairy convention incident that shows how fairy fanatics are really dedicated. It is also stated that fanatics are looking for the evidence that will prove their belief wrong.

I quoted "Mark has been moved into protective custody due to threats from fairy fanatics. One practicing fairy believer from Glastonbury said: 'I've had enough with people exercising their right to free speech, if anyone insults fairies again I'll put a seriously fucked up fairy spell on them.'" from the author.

My reaction to this at first was shocked because I never imagined that it is possible that because of fairies someone's life might come into danger. I'm a believer myself but I believe that everyone has the right to express his or her own opinion. Though, the fanatics' reaction was really cool they are will to fight until the end for fairies.
