    You’re just seeing “survivor’s bias” (as nasty as that sounds in this case) not a general representation.

        There are a lot of pedophiles everywhere.

        Unfortunately, the really rich ones get away with it for a long time, and few get away with it forever.

            Also Epstein got a lot of cover from non-criminal association with some rich and powerful people. Not everyone who rode on his plane was a nonce.

            On the other hand, Trump was very closely associated with Epstein for an extended period. That’s not the same as someone glitzing up Epstein’s guest list in support of a charity fundraiser.

          Ive been on lemmy for years (even when .ml was the only instance) and hadn’t seen anything of the sort though I don’t go digging for it either. I doubt that Lemmy is any worse than Facebook or Telegram when it comes to this.

            as said before, that person was not advocating for anything. he made a qualified statement, which you answered to with examples of kids in cults and flipped out calling him all kinds of nasty things.

              Lmfao as I stated, they said that physical sexual abuse “PROBABLY” harms kids but they have only done research into their voyeurism kink as it applies to children.

              Go off defending pedos, though 👏
