Its getting downvoted because you've made what seems like a poor attempt to imply buttigieg is also a pedo by association and I assume the intent is to slander all democrats as well. Whatever the case its irrelvant to the issue so you're getting downvoted

Newsworthy.

"Pedophile had close relationship with prominent Democrat!"

Whatever, you asked why you were getting downvoted either in bad faith or because you can't self reflect on your own actions lol

My action was pointing out the political connections of a child pornographer. If he was Republican affiliated, would your reaction be the same?

ninjadude93 t1_jarvtmc wrote

Yeah if he was republican affiliated I still dont think it would matter to this discussion. Theres plenty of examples of sexual abuse from people in power regardless of political leaning seems to be a common theme among the ultra rich

“Politician was close to another politician” just isn’t as salacious huh?

That seems like a far more likely connection point. Bet you could dig up all sorts of Republican arrestees associated with prominent national Republican politicians. But that’s never been newsworthy either.

It's not really newsworthy.

Could you link to your post about former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (Republican) recently being convicted of child molestation, or of any of his associations with current Republican lawmakers?

No, because I didn't make one. If I go back far enough into my post history, though, I can find posts about the Republican call-boy White house scandal, (repuplican) Lawrence Kings Savings and loan scandal, Roy Cohn's special relationship with Trump, etc...

Should I stick to ONLY pointing out Republican-afffiliated pedos, and avoid the Democrat-affiliated ones? Would that make you happy?

You seem to miss the point. If a guy who works with you, whom you go out for beer and wings with, turns out to be a pedophile, that shouldn't reflect on you at all should it?

If I had a very high level security clearance it most certainly would

1.3 million people have top secret clearance. There's statistically some creeps in that pool.

Well yeah if it was a Republican they wouldn't get arrested they'd get a promotion

Yeah, but considering it's a democrat, odds are they'll get ousted same as de Blasio.

Not that I'm suggesting a difference in response to sexual misconduct between the two parties has led to one developing a culture of sexual misconduct and a consequential greater likelihood of committing such acts. Both sides, am I right?

I dunno. Why's your first thought with this story to try and link it to a prominent gay politician? Why're you linking to a writer for the Post Millennial, a right wing publication that's playing into the moral panic over drag queens? Why's this addon mark your account as LGBT-hostile? Why's your whole post feel like it's leaning into the right's ongoing campaign to pedojacket the LGBT community? Why's it feel like you thought you were being slick, but when people saw right through you, you figured you'd act taken aback, and the hope is people who're none the wiser'll think the downvotes're an overreaction if not an active attempt to cover something up?

I google searched for more info on this guy, and found that Twitter thread. The fact that this is a politically connected pedo seemed newsworthy l, so I added it.

I have no idea what the fuck 'shinigami eyes' is or what it has to do with a reddit account. You'll have to walk me through that one.

'pedojacket' lol.

If pedos are exploiting kids, they should be exposed. If those pedos are politically connected, that should be explored. It shouldn't matter if they belong to a group you consider to be 'your team'.

And?

(E: IF) I had a buddy that murdered his kids. Does that mean I'm a murderer by association?

Because you’re doing that thing where you’re hoping like minded lazy people like yourself will see this and think “see democrats are pedos too!”

TriclopeanWrath t1_jarlid1 wrote

Some are, yeah.

Pointing out the power relationships of criminals is important. If those was a story about Roy Cohn, would you get pissy when I point outhewas Trumps close friend and political ally?

What a ridiculous correlation. That’s like If your best friend gets busted for CP, we all go, “Oh shit! It’s TriclopeanWrath’s buddy.”
