I mean let's just take it for granted none of them believe in the ritual... Like i said that's almost not even relevant to me it's the symbolism of what it represents to me that peaks my interest/creeps me out.

And the responses that symbolism is irrelevant and rituals never indicate anything about the people carrying them out is pretty silly to me.

If they pretended to rape a kid instead would you still be like "nah dude it's just like Burning Man" cause the more bizarre the ritual is the less that sort of defense is even remotely compelling.
