      How is it pedobear was popular long before anyone knew about epsteins island? It was probably popular during the same time epsteins island was in operation.

      Kinda makes you wonder. Did epstein create those memes as a way to normalize pedophilia? It didn’t work, but was that the plan?

        You think Epstein was the only pedo enabler to ever exist?

        Entire religions and power systems are intwined with it…

        However, we can’t discount the possibility that his particular clique was involved with the porting of the Kuma meme from 2 Chan, and they almost certainly used it once co-opted from ironic troll use, into its more evolved form, So there is that.
