            I don’t understand how it’s news that someone who is known to do that sort of things does that sort of things

            Dbt says the same type thing above

              Essentially, you’re so worn out seeing this that instead of horrifying you, it just gets a, “And the sky is blue, what else is new?” response, correct?

              If so, you might need a break from the internet. Becoming numb to this stuff is not healthy

                There will always be horrible people, doing horrible acts it’s not a surprise nor newsworthy.

                Do we need an article tomorrow when that same hate group leader says the N word?

                He’s watching a video.

                It’s not like he’s the one who did the act.

                I sympathize with the victim but don’t see how this is any more relevant to society than the root of the child was hurt which should be it’s own article and call to action

                  We kinda do need these articles. These people push a narrative that they’re just “concerned about the children” and trying to save them from “groomers” (ie anyone who allows them the freedom and agency to figure themselves out and express themselves). Articles like this poke holes in the image they project, and show them for the monsters they really are.

                  Yes, you already know they’re monsters. So do I. But clearly, not everyone has gotten the message yet, and if we ignore their monstrous acts and words, those people will be left to listen to the narrative they do get.
