    There’s a nonzero chance oligarchs are pushing this to normalize pedophilla.

    Like how Ghislane Maxwell was super involved in early reddit and their main draw for a long time was “legal” sexualization of children.

    Especially since it’s a common accusation they make against “the left”. Most of the time when they accuse, it’s a confession.

      pushing this to normalize pedophilla.

      They don’t really need to manufacture how normalized pedophilia is in our society. They’re simply capitalizing on it.

          It’s extremely telling that your comment is the first I’ve heard of that aspect of the election in Hungary. The mainstream press in the US effectively shrugged and said “I guess they just got tired of him”

          In fact, it feels a lot like how the press in my country “explained” Obama’s first election. Just a vague “Americans are tired of the Republican leadership and wanted change,” Like the torture and disappearing of anyone they could sweep under the abstract wars of the time wasn’t outrageous enough

        Might already be capitalizing on it with the international sex trafficking of children. Surprised most people don’t know about shit pop or you call it hip hop.

          Definitely are.

          You think Epstein was the only one? You think he hasn’t already been replaced yet?

      Hell, I vividly remember the old /u/ViolentAcrez thing, and tons of users being butthurt when subs like /r/Jailbait, /r/CreepShots, and /r/Upskirting were taken down.
