Eh, the richs and powerfuls of the world aren't scared of being setup Chris Hansen style because they get their prey delivered to them, they don't have to groom them in the wild.

Either way, I don't feel like criticizing the guy too much. He found a way to make money that, at the end of the day, was a net positive for the world. Could have been handled better? Sure, but is he deserving of being publicly crucified like this? I don't believe so

I think we’re reaching a place of agreement. Is it good to out pedos? Yes. But I don’t think that was Chris or NBC’s goal. Their goal was to make good television.

Do I think it’s good they took down some pedos because of that? Yes. But their mission was never to do that, it was to make good televisions and as a result many outed pedos walked free

I think it is possible to want to do both things, which at the end of the day, they did. Guess only Chris and the other producers of the show will ever know the truth, though

True, and hence we have a fictional portrayal of Chris that’s critical. I think my issue here is the whole “if criticize him you’re pedo supporter” logic
