My priors for "mascots" being fictitious are outweighed by my priors for conspiracy theories being fictitious.

You're confusing conspiracy and prospiracy.

Hmm, that's fair. My beliefs in that sort of structure influencing how we perceive history is a lot stronger than the conspiratorial version. On the other hand, I still need more evidence than we have to posit that the feminist prospiracy actually existed and influenced things as opposed to any other one.
