      Yep. I can imagine what i would say which goes along the lines of "No matter how terrifying you are, how deadly you are, or how hostile you are, we as humans can endure longer. No matter how many of us you may strike down, we will continue to grow stronger than you ever imagined. It may not be now, it may not be generations from now, but eventually, EVENTUALLY, you WILL fuck one of us, whether out of true desire, or morbid curiosity, and in that regard, we have already won"

    Y’know, if the Jorogumu was actually going to kill the woodcutter, she would have killed him way earlier, either when he dropped his axe (No axe means no woodcutting, meaning he’s not going to leave for a very long time), or when he arrived for the many, many, maaaany times they met up. Because she didn’t kill him those times, she probably didn’t kill him when he got caught. So yes...

      I see what you did there.
      For mythological context, the Kitsune in question was Tamamo-no-Mae, one of the infamous Three Terrible Yo-kai of Japan, who was a famous trickster and seductress who charmed her way into the Imperial court in order to corrupt and destroy as many monarchs as she could. When she was eventually found out, chased down, and slain, her spirit possessed the rock in question, and her malevolence seeped to the surface as a deadly poison, killing anything it came in contact with. That was, until a priest came along, reconciled Tamamo's spirit, and set her free, thus causing the rock to shatter.
      Sorry for the nerd-out, I'm just a huge mythology buff, hence why I'm subbed to OSP (and I really hope someone commissions Red to do a video on those three, their stories are actually really interesting)

If the male's gifts are enough to keep the female sated for long enough he can mate with her and get out of there without dying. However given the relatively short lifespan of males most only really bring enough to keep the female busy during sex because it's likely their only chance for it in their lifetime anyway so there's not much need to be concerned with escaping.

      The Bible records God's dealing with humans, and therefore describes how Earth was created. Not the Heavens, and by extension Angel's. However Demons are explicitly noted as being thrown out from Heaven, and further following Satan. Demons follow Satan, and aren't differentiated from fallen angels. Thus they are, logically, the same thing.
      Jewish mythology isn't Hebrew mythology. God disowns them for a pretty clear reason, especially because they were well known (and called out) for mixing their beliefs with other beliefs systems. Lilith isn't recorded in the Bible, thus she didn't exist. Otherwise it would have recorded her and her progeny.

      liam mercado123 but look at it this way...for every joining of two legs, there is one V, or more specifically, the rule "every pair of legs, for all legs results in one v for every pair...
      Or, let _x_ represent the number of legs and _v_ the obvious
      *_x_** - 1= **_v_** , If **_x_** is more than 2*
      It's like how you have 5 fingers, and 4 bits in between.

      @@galactakid7064 James Portnow of Extra Credits, their "game industry liaison" as they would call him from time to time, turned out to be a serial harasser who would threaten to terminate the employment of at least two people at Extra Credits unless they would date him. He was also responsible for their pro-lootbox stance, but that's just me being petty.

    I love how all these English videos on the Jorogumo are trying to be nice to it and put “Binding bride” “ maiden spider” and names like that when it clearly just means whore spider 🤣🤣 it’s literally the two bits that encompass the word, Joro =whore , gumo= spider
    Still love the video tho😊
