Because “the rubes”

You can gloss over the real issue being discussed here - which is decidedly NOT “is child sex trafficking bad?” - but that would just be more silliness.

Think about the angry mobs incited by their stoking this fire. This is out of control like professional fake wrestling bad guys. The same people are behind both.

Oh, we get the "real" issues:

1.) The rubes must remain focused on the "important" issues, such as climate change, Trump's "crimes," COVID, and the amazing Biden economy.
2.) The rubes have proven dangerous and irrational when infuriated. They must be pacified so that a future January 6th does not ensue.
3.) The rubes must not be presented with an issue to rally and unite behind, lest we have a repeat of the 2016 election.
4.) The rubes must learn to allow their superiors to explain to them what is important, what to think, and what to fear. A rube who thinks for itself is much harder to control.

Who gives a shit what the thread is called?

Again: child sex trafficking is bad. I can’t believe I have to say that again, but there it is. Black and white.

But the issues being discussed - issues that are not so black and white - have to do with (1) the degree to which the movie is actually true (which matters!), (2) the actual motivations behind the people who made and/or profit off the movie and (3) how the movie is being used in the right’s culture wars-centric agenda.

But child sex trafficking is bad! I agree!

Me personally? Why so many people so up in arms about child sex trafficking and pedophilia still send their kids to church and don't take their word for it when they tell them that the priest touched them where they shouldn't while church leaders actively work behind the scenes to quietly ship the pedophile priest off to prey on a different community.

That leads me off to thinking about all the claims that the societal shift away from church is a key factor in the erosion of society and how people want religion to be a driving factor in much of the legislature and educational systems in the country.

That leads me to thinking "WTF is wrong with these people who claim to be so passionate about the abuse of children by pedophiles?"

1. Focus on whatever is important to you but don't claim that an administration cares less about the topic than a different one for made up reasons. That's just called lying.
2. Honestly, some people have proven that they cannot tell real from fake so chumming the waters with " it's based on real" info may not be super safe for all
3. If they were going to unite behind this issue then you'd think that they would start with the tens of thousands of cases reported right in their own backyard and press their churches to root all pedophiles from their ranks immediately. Since they don't, it appears it is no more than just faux outrage meant to try to bolster the credibility of their vote/argument.
4. Fear what you fear but see #3 above. When only applied towards democrats, you faux fear is shown as no more than an attempt to justify a weak argument.

I’m pretty sure the first time this movie was mentioned on this board, it was you kvetching about how the mainstream media was shitting on the movie? So clearly the issue is NOT child sex trafficking.

In any case, as usual you’re seeking out the dumbest possible gotcha meme angle, and declining to engage on the substance of what’s being discussed.

Do you think that the trafficking is being done by a cabal of elites that are using the kids to harvest adrenochrome from their blood so they can drink it to stay young?
