Speaking as a saint, the accusation is certainly offensive.

If you can think of any way to accelerate that, I'm down to help. I'm so tired of these perverts

Epstein Scandal Update: Epstein sleeps nude in a oxygen tent which he believes gives him SEXUAL POWERS!

> purported to be

Convicted to be - proven beyond reasonable doubt. He's a child-trafficking pedophile who plead guilty, with mountains of evidence that are now public.

And he's dead and he's been dead for a long time, and people still paying daily attention to this are being played for laughs and having their rage strip-mined.

He is but everyone else who participated is very much alive and yet to face any accountability and justice. Do you genuinely not understand why people would be outraged that "leaders of the free world", namely Trump and the rest of the US government that's been keeping a lid on this, are just a bunch of unaccountable sex-trafficking pedophiles?

Whatever is left of the western social contract is disintegrating in front of us and the reaction of our societies has been extremely mild if anything - there should be mass protests over revelations of this magnitude.

I think people who are upset about child trafficking aren't nearly as perverted as the guy who fucked children

Wanting people who abused children to face consequences is not drooling. Why do you want to sweep the sexual abuse of children under the rug?

And that's the direction the conversation always turns. You literally don't have any influence over that, neither do I. We have judges for that. The man died 7 years ago now, and the ongoing drip-feed of additional salacious information is transparently only still happening to piss you off and make sure you stay mad. Holding the perpetrators responsible here is not my job, and it's probably not yours, and I personally don't enjoy reading about these crimes for fun as much as the front page of HN apparently does.

Man you wrote that reading is a hundred times worse than trafficking children, on a text-based website

like if you’re spending a few minutes a day on here reading what are you doing the rest of the time

This is a patently retarded take. The guy was a child rape wholesaler.

No shit. Do you like talking about child rape every day? Is that fun for you? Are you tickled seeing "CHILD RAPE UPDATES" in 72-point second coming font over your morning coffee?

Same reason they do anything - we want it. The customers are the mirror.

Nobody wants this

I don't know why this would be surprising because anywhere purporting to be able to score like this is obviously lying to you

Me too but I guess I should have been paying more attention to the screen

Lmao an investigation. They're riding it out over a long weekend, at which point it won't be at the top of this site, where all their critical traffic comes from, so they can keep planting turds at the top of Google News for everyone else.

Called it

The article "may have" drawn too much attention to how little they care.

Equivalently: Our standards "may have" been low enough that this was just fine, actually.
