    This is giving strong “I hope nobody finds out I went to Epstein island” vibes.

        As a writer, how can he be this clueless about character continuity and congruency?

        All this does is implicate his involvement. I know he was coked out of his mind for decades but I never would’ve associated him with Epstein previously… Come to think of it, cocaine was probably how he met Epstein/Trump.

          I’m gonna be hopeful and assume that he means there’s probably no outright list of customers, as in, no black book with names, phone numbers and who they abused, but instead emails, messages etc that link a lot of very powerful people to disgusting crimes.

            I never heard anything about the list specifying which celebrity abused which child. I thought it was — at most — people who are strongly implicated through Epstein’s private comms, documents, etc.

            We already know who went to the island, but simply accepting a holiday from a billionaire doesn’t imply involvement with his criminal syndicate.

              thats not what he implied at all, hes saying the LIST IS AS REAL AS TOOTH FAIRY AND THE santa claus, so basically saying it doesnt exist. it also implies he is on the list.

    Man, who would’ve thought that the guy who wrote a child orgy scene would turn out to be a pedophile? Edit: Didn’t expect this to blow up and result in multiple bans… whoops.

      I’ve never read It or cared. I can’t see the removed comments.

      However, are we really banning people for defending artistic license to write about obscene shit in a horror story? Are pearl clutchers claiming that shit needs justification? That’s who we are? Awesome.

        “I have no vested interest in this conversation… i don’t know any of the context… but are we really doing this thing that nobody is doing?”

        Also, yeah dude, you should be able to justify every single action you take ever. If you take an action and can’t justify why you did it, then why did you do it? No, seriously. Why did you do it, then? No, you can’t explain. That’s what justification is. Go ahead. Why did you do it? Oh- no, you can’t explain. That’s justifying.

        Jesus.

    I’d like to remind this thread not to jump to conclusions. It’s not exactly unheard of for a notorious coke addict to be confidently wrong about something. I’ll believe he’s a sicko when I see his name on the list and not a second sooner.

    Edit: Am I really being downvoted for not immediately joining a mob and instead waiting for proof? “We did it reddit lemmy!”
