Showmanship is the essence of tantric ritual! Explanatory tweet storm incoming I guess… Commodification is not in the least alien to tantric ritual, either; in historical practice, fundraising was one of their most important functions. Not essential in principle, though.
Ah, I think I see the point you are making! My tweets were unclear. The point is not that these *are* tantric rituals, it is that elements of them are similar in certain significant respects, which could be appropriated for religious purposes.
