Has anyone else here started to hate the term "witch" and "pagan"?

I am noticing a trend where all the TikTok tumblery back up of an ambulance to the front door witch shit that's been going on for years hasn't died, it just got worse. All the new age instagram witchy shit, none of it is about the Earth, it's all about how I'm the chosen one, I'm so special, I have magic powers, the Earth will heal itself if I just talk to her, the Earth will heal itself if I buy these 300$ crystals, I'm a witch because I like to wear lipstick and skirts and have a musical instrument I've never used in my life! And the men are worse. I've always been skeptical of dudes who call themselves witches, especially the ones who don't have some sort of old school super traditional background that doesn't involve reading a new age book written by someone who is part of the 1% and capitalism. I get carsick when I see all these tiktok vids of men being like oh I'm so sorry I did this I'm a witch, I did this because I'm a witch, what do you call this I'm a witch, I'm part of the wealthy 1% but I'm a witch!!! I'm a very special dude, back up the ambulance to the front door because I'm a witch! It's fucking annoying.<br><br>I'm not sure what to call myself at this point. All the pictures and vids of the Amazon that I posted here are of places I know because I live there and I've been going there since I was kid and I do magic out there but it's nothing like these fucking idiots on tumblr/tiktok/the Gram, I don't speak to plants, I don't believe plants talk to me, I don't talk some weird ass language and think the Earth is going to heal herself, I don't believe that I have magical powers that can heal the earth because I'm the chosen one, I don't buy crystals to heal the Earth, I don't wear lipstick and skirts and call myself a witch, I don't have a musical instrument I bought for aesthetic that I've never used and call myself a witch, I don't do ceremonies with the new age back up ambulance to the front door because I'm a witch, I don't do fucking drum circles on the beach because I'm a witch!, I don't buy a bunch of fucking shit and call myself a witch, I don't call myself a witch and then fly around the world and preach about how important it is to not fly (have been guilty of that one though), I don't call myself a witch and drink out of plastic water bottles, I don't call myself a witch and eat a bunch of trash animal products, back up the ambulance to the front door because I'm a witch! I do walks in the bush, I do ceremonies with trees, I talk to my ancestors, I berries, plants, and mushrooms, I have an epic time doing it, I am a black metal musician and I am a fucking witch! I'm just really fucking sick of all these fucking posers back up the ambulance to the front door and I don't want to be associated with the fucking idiots anymore.<br><br>​
