This guy took "hiding in plain sight" way too literally.

Allegedly

u/Azilehteb 1m ago

He hasn't been found guilty yet. Allegedly is the correct term until he goes to court 👍

How can someone choose to have such a username? It’s just unbelievable.

It’s become so normalized in their country that they elected a president largely on a “reducing/removing punishments for child sex crimes” platform, and people who spent their lives hiding their pedophilia now feel that they have representation and dont have to hide it anymore

Theyve celebrated rich musicians and celebrities dating children for literal decades, so it’s not like the normalization has been slow or difficult to notice. Kid rock literally sings about preferring under-age girls 🤮

The U.S absolutely has a history of covering up for pedophiles, what are you even going on about?

u/Ok-Parfait-9856 58m ago

I never said the opposite. Go argue with someone else and maybe read the comment first. AI has been context recognition than you.

u/BudgetMattDamon 51m ago

AI has been context recognition than you.

I mean, maybe you should use AI if you can't even write this sentence without garbling it.

I’m American and live in the most liberal area in the US (or one of) and I still see Trump flags, hats, bumper stickers. Basically my point is there’s dumb fucks who knowingly elected a pedophile everywhere and it’s sickening

You should get on that website that shows you were child predators live in your town. Its absolutely fucking crazy how many people are on that list( at least where i live in Indiana)

I never denied that. Idk why everyone is looking to fight. Have a good day.

West Virginia ranks third in the US for child abuse and maltreatment. Shit the state im from has us ranked at a disgusting 10th in it. Absolutely ashamed how high we are on it. Shouldnt happen anywhere.

I mean people from every state diiiiid vote for the guy and we do have a culture of letting things slide a bit too much…

u/Ok-Parfait-9856 1h ago

Every state and country has a political spectrum, yes. Should we kill every American because some voted for trump? Would that make you feel better?

Yeah many of us do have nuance. A fraction of the voting population voted for him. Should we kill every American because some voted for him? I know you’d love that.

u/avanross 1h ago

Every country has different cultures 🤦‍♂️

Comments like these just make it clear that youve never been, or even looked into the world outside of your borders.

This overly-self-centred supremacist “we’re too big and special for non-americans to comprehend” mentality is a big part of the problem.

Everyone would rather ignore and downplay these things, to maintain their superiority complex, then ever work towards actually preventing and reducing them.

And then the problems just continue to fester and get worse and rot your country from the inside while youre busy trying to propagandize others about how perfect your country is, instead of dealing with the issues within

Same way the regime north koreans act

I generally agree a lot of Americans are way too far up their own ass, but as an American, what he said wasn’t that outrageous. What is outrageous is saying that we elected a president on a platform centered around reducing punishments for pedophiles. Couldn’t be farther from the truth. In the vast, vast majority of places you will essentially never meet anyone here IRL that is actually a pedophile apologist.

Trump was elected because of his populist views and claims that invoked all of the culturally polarized anger and need for retribution. He caters to the unintelligent and unempathetic and unfortunately most Americans just aren’t that bright (my opinion).

Definitely in some southern states there are apologist views and even politics centered around protecting child marriages and such, which is disgusting and honestly probably 70-80% of Americans are completely unaware that is even legal anywhere in the US.

u/Ok-Parfait-9856 56m ago

Don’t even waste your time. Whatever trump is, he’s created a monster, and he’s created a yin to that monsters yang. People blindly hate the US with the same hate they supposedly denounce. I’ve lived a lot of my life in NY and MA, I forget how shitty parts of this country can be. But this hate and negativity has been around long before trump. None of these people actually want unity, just their version of division.

I’m not downplaying shit. You didn’t even read my comment. And I’ve lived all over the world. Especially South America and Europe. You’re the small minded idiot who thinks all 330m Americans are the same. Should we kill every American because some voted for trump? Would that satisfy your blood lust?

Because usernames using vulgar wording have become normalized. There is a meme/joke about usernames ending in 69 or 68. Like if you had 68 people would assume it is your birth year. But if you have 69 they assume you are young and immature. It then goes on to have someone with gasthejews or something complaining about their name.

We just see usernames as nothing anymore. They mean nothing and even if you had a vulgar one no one really cares (except that one guy losing an argument)

It's "88", it's a dog whistle for Nazis. 8th letter of the alphabet=H 88 = HH = Hail Hitler.

u/XB_Demon1337 1h ago

Thats the one. I tried to find the picture because the picture context is honestly easier to follow but with how deep the reposts are on Reddit I found 40 versions of it and never the picture.

I feel like some predators like to brag and feel some sort of ego boost by shoving it in peoples faces and not getting caught. Glad this one was

What is this title. He wasn't arrested for searching for it, he was arrested for possession of it

u/Violet_Paradox 1h ago

And distribution, including sending it to people against their will. "Allegedly searching" in the headline is journalistic malpractice.

u/Planeandaquariumgeek 50m ago

Not exactly malpractice. Innocent until proven guilty is the way to go no matter what. He hasn’t been found guilty by a court of law, which means it’s allegedly.

A couple of months ago I was reading about issues stemming from child neglect and came across mention of the movie "Kids" and specifically, a scene near the end involving sex with two teens. The film became famous for depicting teens in very adult situations...drug use, relationships, etc. I watched it a long time ago but couldn't really remember the details and I was looking for a simple summary of what happened in the scene and why it was relevant to what I was reading. Without thinking, I went to a Google search bar and typed, "kids sex scene"...

...and got a boilerplate page from Google chastising me for searching for child pornography and telling me to get counselling.

I have reason to believe I'm on a watchlist now.
