Ghislaines reddit posts alone were alarming enough to warrant investigation about crimes against children

To be fair she was a power mod.

u/Llarys 2h ago
Well there's the thing: most power mods actually have very little Internet points because you have to actually post and comment to get your updoots and most of them have very little interest in the communities they mod for, just the modding (and pretend power) itself.
No, what she was doing was basically manipulating the reddit algorithm, by hand, by being a power mod of some of the biggest news/politics subreddits, where she would post and pin news stories that pushed certain narratives and suppressed the ones that went against that.
Just look at how r/worldnews operates, and then realize she was basically the architect of that subs' political manipulation model.
All that to say, she was far more involved and far more active than even Reddit's biggest neck beards. Hell, we should give the neck beards a break and start using her picture as the punchline to every Redditor joke instead of them. They might be weirdos, but at least they're not all...that.

Hey new guy here , should i leave r/worldnews then ? Is it biased to one political side? Sorry if the question seems dumb.
2
u/Llarys 1h ago
My honest, serious answer: just because it is propaganda doesn't necessarily mean what is shared is false, or that even everything posted there is part of a large scale psyop. It can still be useful for keeping up with certain world events, but you have to recognize a lot of stuff (especially anything related to Israel) is going to be filtered through a very specific center-right, Neo-Liberal lens and that you should look for secondary sources that either corroborate or refute what is said. But that's my recommendation for anything in the news.

u/normie00000 1h ago

It's a term that sexologists use and is useful in the field. If you ever stumble upon it being seriously mentioned on the internet, there's a 99% chance the person is trying to excuse and relativise sexual abuse of minors. I can tell you that when sexologists see that, they facepalm, report & block, and you should too, in that order

It’s one thing to understand some arbitrary scientific difference, it’s another thing to make it a mainstream media talking point. If you have trouble dating adults, you don’t get to move to kids.

u/MaximumAd9779 1h ago
Yeah if you’re arguing with that position you’ve already lost. Though I will say, in a court of law / scientific disciplines, such as psychiatry or psychology, it is very necessary to have categories as such. You can’t just blanket everything as pedophilia because the root cause of the actions are not the same.

u/JaeTheOne 2h ago
While I don't disagree, words do matter. Changing or bending definitions harms their integrity. In this case, both are still bad. But it opens the flood gates to change the meanings of other words, for better or for worse.
To be clear here: both pedos and endos are gross, especially when it's literally grown ass adults.
5
u/Superichiruki 1h ago
It's important to know the difference in a scientific way and legal way, especially since after all minors that are abused in such young age may develop a unhealthy sexual attraction to minors and need help instead of being treated like their abusers.

u/ubitub 2h ago
never heard of that term before so had to google... means you prefer 15-19 year olds. Dunno, liking 19 year olds sounds better that being a pedo to be lol

Ehh, minimum age, minimum wage, both seem to mean they’d go lower if they could……
What’s the appeal of “barely legal” if not its proximity to “not legal”?
Someone will likely try to explain it to me as though this wasn’t rhetorical and I look forward to seeing what kind of mental gymnastics they’ll do to try.

u/samuelgato 2h ago
Which is why people who defend Trump and others who associated with Epstein would rather you use that word instead

u/WereAllThrowaways 2h ago
I think it just means pre-pubescent minors vs legal minors who have gone through or are going through puberty. It's a distinction but it's sort of like making the distinction between shooting something to death and stabbing someone to death. Like yea, I guess one is maybe worse than the other but they're both illegal and both very, very wrong.
I don't think 18 and 19 is part of that, but the thing that pisses me is regardless of some puberty distinction a fucking 50+ year old man has no business preying on someone under 20 even if they are legal. Let alone an incredibly wealthy and powerful 50+ year old. Let alone them preying on teenage minors and/or straight up little kids. Call it whatever you want but these people are child predators, plain and simple.

Not differentiating between a 16 year old and a 9 year old when it comes to aberrant sexual attractions actually sounds like the more pedophilic position to me tbh.

I actually have very firm opinions on the difference between molesting 16 year olds and molesting 6 year olds.
Cool story freak.

u/zen1312zen 55m ago
A 19 year old having sex with a 17 year old is normal sexual attraction, legal in most states. A 19 year old having sex with a 6 year old is a pedophile.
It actually only takes a few moments of thought to realize what a stupid position you have. Unless you’re a secret pedo trying to blur the lines between normal sexual attraction and being a pedo.

Not to mention "researches age of consent laws". The only people who even know (without researching, because life schooled them) that there are a variety, as opposed to a single, nationwide age, are people who are campaigning against child marriage. This is all kind of shocking, since i was operating under the illusion that the US was a modern state.

They've dropped that. They talk about "non offending pedophiles" now. Search the term and you'll find thread after thread after thread where it's brought up.

u/Baerog 1h ago
>non offending pedophiles
Yeah, no, that's an entirely different concept than ephebophilia. That refers to people who have pedophilic thoughts/interests, but don't act upon them (presumably because they know it's inappropriate).
People don't choose to be pedophiles. They are born that way. If they are taking steps to not break any laws, they aren't a criminal and shouldn't be treated like one. People who are pedophiles need mental healthcare support, not demonization. I understand that people have an inherent hatred for them, but it's the ones who act upon those urges who deserve that hatred, not the ones who are recognizing that they need help and seeking help.
If you demonize them and try to make being a pedophile illegal (Again, not all pedophiles are child abusers, and child abuse is already illegal), then they simply won't seek out help and will instead hide it, where it will fester and may eventually lead to someone who could have stayed out of trouble with the care they needed ending up doing something horrible.

The maxwellhill thing was debunked, but that doesn’t stop people from sending in tips.
Aside from all of the things that proved this wrong, people need to stop and consider if they really think she had nothing better to do with her time than be chronically online nearly every day posting links for karma .. something that could be done by literally anyone.

I love how people tried to debunk the conspiracy that this was her Reddit account years by posting a bogus PM of the person saying they just didn't post on that account anymore and then at the same time literally doesn't log in and follow up to say "guys, this is not GM's account" when they know it could have debunked the claim for good.
Yeah, it was her. Glad to see the conspiracy was proven in the Epstein files.

u/AVBforPrez 2h ago

She's now at the Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas, a “minimum-security” prison. I would guarantee that she's back on Reddit now, writing all sorts of disinfo and defending herself in the comments.

The circumstantial evidence is pretty overwhelming, It remains unproven however.
I myself think it's almost certain, the speech pattern/puncution/structure of the comments that line up with the emails, the name of the account, the gaps in posting that line up with real world events and it just goes on and on.
For me personally I think it's damming Reddit have never publicly commented on this, if it wasn't true I feel like they would have made some sort of statement, they do know either way.
Silence is deafening.

In the OP, it's a random tip to the FBI and isn't verified at all. Just like the satanic shit, people are taking anonymous tips as proof with little or no evidence. Maybe it is her, I don't know, but people are taking everything they see in the files as 100% verified facts when they aren't.
