I love folklore so much because depending on the location and era it comes from it's either the most terrifying concept or the dumbest thing you've ever heard

The funniest thing about all the speculation regarding the origins of the Bigfoot myth is that we know where it came from. It was a prank carried out by a guy named Ray Wallace who vandalised a couple of logging camps in California in 1958 while wearing fake feet to conceal his identity. They literally found his collection of giant wooden feet in his basement after he died in 2002, his involvement has been corroborated by multiple accomplices, and the timing of the incidents precisely lines up with when interest in Bigfoot exploded in American popular culture. We've known all this for twenty years, and everybody just quietly ignores it because it's no fun, I guess.

Bigfoot isn't real, all the evidence is manufactured by groups with a vested interest in keeping armed morons busy running around in the woods, away from the rest of society

I think I'm a lifelong cryptid enthusiast because I'm nearsighted. Like what do you mean the Patterson-Gimlin film isn't crystal clear. That's how bigfoot would look to me anyway.

To be completely fair, the actual reason that many jurisdictions have laws against shooting Bigfoot is that:
a. Trigger-happy dumbfucks will in fact try to get out of a felony manslaughter charge by claiming that they thought they were shooting at Bigfoot; and
b. Arguing that you were acting under a mistaken but genuinely held belief regarding the situation in front of you is a legitimate defence against most criminal charges, including murder and manslaughter, provided that the belief in question was reasonable at the time.
Basically, the purpose of making it illegal to shoot Bigfoot is to avoid having to litigate whether the “reasonable belief” standard encompasses believing that you saw Bigfoot.
