    IF he is guilty of kidnapping a kid or sexually abusing a kid, I wonder if he thought being part of funding the movie would provide him with an excuse if he got caught. Like maybe he thought he could claim he was trying to help a kid and that would be a good cover story?

    Why do you want child sex trafficking to be more common than it is? It is a very strange instinct to insist that something so terrible must be more common without evidence.

    Why do you continue downplaying a serious crime?
    You might be sick.

    I haven't at all. I have stated how terrible it is for the victims. Multiple times.

    Now that I answered your question: why do you want it to be more common than it appears to be? So that you can virtue signal more?

    If you care about the victims then you’d stop.
    You don’t care. You just love arguing.
    It’s a sickness.

    I care about the victims, which is also why we shouldn't lie about them. You still didn't answer my question. I'll ask again: why do you want this to be more common than it is? Can you not just care about the actual victims and need more people to care about or something? Why is it necessary to claim that the crime happens more than it does to care about the victims of the crime itself?

    So that the Q idiocy is mainstreamed. It was the whole point of the making of the movie.

    This is the idea of “red-pilling.”

    A movie about the FBI busting far more traffickers or the Nefarious doc gets zero run on Q boards. The actual trafficking of humans, children or otherwise, isn’t the main objective. It’s getting you sniffing the rabbit hole and sucking in the, well, whatever describes people that choose to take the plunge.

    Mission accomplished.

    I watched the movie. I thought it was well done. Wouldn't even know where to start to "sniff the rabbit hole." Where do I go next? The movie doesn't tell us. Am I supposed to google "QAnon"? Should I believe the movie or not? Is the DHS real? What about the CIA? Tell me what I should be thinking and what I should be looking for before I google it.

    GOP is clearly a child porn front run out of a basement somewhere in Florida. You can deflect with Epstein and actors all day long. GOP is gross.

    I will ask again: why do you want this particular crime to be more common than it is? Why does it upset you that it isn't more common?
