Reply to comment by RingGiver in Whoever first observed the red-eyes camera flash effect must have thought the subject of the photo was possessed or something. by StaleTheBread

I’m not trying to say everyone was superstitious. Like, I don’t mean 100% believing someone is possessed and cowering in fear. More like “what the hell is with your eyes”

Welp. Bad phrasing on my part though.

Also I feel like Reddit there’s some sort of dichotomy of “people who think about everything rationally” and “people who believe in dumb shit”. Or maybe I’m just trying to justify why so many people felt the need to correct me

Redditors do be obnoxious fucks most of the time. Pay it no mind.
