This shouldn't be the headline, the headline should be that Epstein met with Moot around the time that he launched /pol/, Which was the origin point of pizzagate and q anon, both major conspiracy theories that featured paedophilia and supported Donald Trump.

This I don't think was a coincidence.

Epstein on 4Chan, because of course he was.

[-] jaaake@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

He wasn't just on 4chan. He was "friends" with Christopher Poole, aka moot, founder of 4chan.

Also it's possibly the reason /pol/ exists at all since it was created within days of them meeting and having at least an hour long conversation.

No one can ever defend 4chan to me ever again. Fuckin creeps.

~~What's /pol/? --I always had understood 4chan to be a pool of degens back in the day so i never bothered to look into it very deeply.~~

nvm it has its own wikipedia page.

Jesus fucking shit

Have they weaponized their autism and find Epstein in the board archives yet?

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

He had a very distinct difficulty with grammar and punctuation, it can’t actually be that hard.

[-] nocturne@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Isn't that like the majority of the 4 Chan chuds though?

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

That describes a majority of people on the internet period.

I used to use 4chan b/. Maybe in 2007ish

It was just funny mildly offensive stuff at first. Millennial humor.

But then it just started being cp.

Like literally every 10 posts was cp.

Graphic. Real.

And I thought. Jesus. This is sick and also. I may get in legal trouble for seeing it even though I wasn't seeking it out.

I left and never went back.

I was sure it was on there and proliferating because there was an abundance of pedos using it.

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It blows my mind that you can just stumble across that stuff on a popular public forum

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Shouldn't have wished to live in more interesting times.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Was moot on the island?

Why is this the story that's spreading? Of all the bad shit this man had done, and all the still on the loose people we know were involved, posting cartoon porn doesn't even rank.

novelty.

here are 10 more documents showing that Trump & Epstein were murderous pedos. add them to the gargantuan pile of evidence we have already.

Esptein liked popular kids franchise and did r34, that's new.

it's bullshit. no justice until everyone involved is hanged, INCLUDING everything agent that saw all those allegations and decided not to investigate. Having 1 wild allegation against a hated public figure? I can understand if they had a short investigation and decided that there is no evidence. 100s of similar allegations by victims? no, you can't dismiss all of them.
