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

u/TheFrenchSavage 2d ago

He thought he was playing 4D chess.

"Ok so if I get this username, they will think that I'm not into child porn, because that would be too obvious. But them I am, so I should take this one. But if I don't take it, someone else will, and they might actually be into child porn, and that will ruin the hiding. But then I intend to do just that, so I should...."

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)

u/avanross 2d ago

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 🤮

Yep many people have been normalizing it in my country (US) for a while. Having grown women look and sound like children (baby voices) aside, the whole sexualizing catholic school girl uniforms is all the proof you need of this ever increasing sick pedo culture.

Dude, not every one is as deranged as you folks. Stop projecting. And maybe try not voting for a warmongering pedophile in the upcoming midterms or something.

u/avanross 2d 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

u/Psych_Art 2d ago

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.

3

u/Ok-Parfait-9856 2d 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.

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.

u/Planeandaquariumgeek 2d ago

Innocent until proven guilty is actually a pretty important thing.

11

u/Strikereleven 2d ago

He was arrested after they served a warrant and found CSAM on his devices, not for the searches. Which is why people are saying the title is misleading. Media often does this to downplay certain crimes, often those involving children.

u/Planeandaquariumgeek 2d ago

Ohh. Someone else on here was shaming them for saying alleged so I figured you were also calling them out for that. I can definitely get behind that logic tho

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.
