Yeah it's easy to take things like Astrology or MBTI or tarot cards or palm readings or whatever as just fun things but there's a pretty major issue when people take it seriously. Just like with religion, normal more passive believers are fine but so called Christian Scientists often literally abuse their children by refusing proper healthcare for them.
Once it gets past just fun little games, these things can get dark really fast. A person who skips out on medicine for homeopathic remedies or "herbs", a person who discriminates or hurts someone because the tarot cards said they were bad luck, when grieving widows and parents are taken advantage of by "psychics", this shit becomes a really major issue.
Pseudoscience when taken seriously legitimately hurts people.
