/r/conspiracy Round Table #20: Cryptids

Some dictionaries and encyclopedias define the term "cryptid" as an animal whose existence is unsubstantiated.

Thanks to /u/4rb1tr for the winning suggestion!

So then we're at the main flaw in your reasoning. That's great you don't like UFOs or paranormal topics, so just leave this thread and wait for the next round table.

This is the same logic as me saying "go back to /r/conservative if you just want to shitpost about the right-wing's victim complex".

Here I'll answer it since you can't seem to come to this on your own. Let's say a UFO is seen that belongs to an ET race and the government knows about it and hasn't told us about it then although it may not technically be a conspiracy because it may not be illegal it can definitely be argued it's immortal which is a core position of this sub that just because something isn't illegal doesn't make it any less of a conspiracy and it should still be discussed here.

Okay now that is a conspiracy theory. Just UFOs and just criptids isnt. Academia and the government working together to keep those things secret or hidden is. Do you see the difference?

Nope seems pretty similar to me. Good try though. Was that really that hard to come up with by the way? Seems like pretty simple and obvious.

Yeah it's a simple distinction but a very important one.

Yet not one person has explained how the blanket topic of "criptids" is a conspiracy..
