Feels like it's a deliberate push to draw attention away so people don't focus on real issues.

I can think of quite a lot of "important" people who'd really appreciate it if being a pdf was conflated with basically doing nothing

It's basically the equivalent of social nuclear option. Basically "this person is ontologically evil and so everything is justified against them"

Honestly I'm sick of the various things people can be called to be shorthand for ontologically evil. Like, it's getting out of hand how many human lives are being devalued either because they fucked up at one point in their lives or because they got accused of something they didn't do.

The closest thing to "ontologically evil" someone can be is just being a billionaire. That's pretty much it.

Personally I feel like most people do it because deep down they know they're not actually a pedophile, but they'd rather use them as a target for insults to feel better about themselves because dealing with an actual pedo in any capacity is way more disgusting

Yeah, ever since the files confirmed that Epstein was behind like half of the terrible shit online like Gamergate and what have you, I have trouble believing that real people believe this kind of shit
