Needed to make this a main post for the sake of visibility, but in general, I think reset the clock did a lot more damage than help, because of the fact that people believe that the only reason you could ever be against a certain thing, is because you’re engaging in it yourself, when we know for a fact that isn’t the case.
To be specific, it is very much possible to be against loli/shota porn and not be an IRL predator. People like Ableist forget that, while I’m not against it existing per se, I understand why certain places would ban it altogether, and I would actually like for Ableist or anyone else to actually post the specific places where “governments ban loli/shota porn and waste police resources” where people have actually been arrested for the sole possession of that fictional content, because as much as you say that, I’ve never seen it. Unless that’s like a European thing, I’ve generally never heard of that before.
I just don’t get why some people don’t understand why the average person thinks that someone who jerks off to loli/shota porn isn’t right in the head.
Awww, they didn't even use the best reset the clock for Dr Pizza. I get it's about anime specifically, but Dr Pizza's best moment was calling the pizzagate people insane conspiracy theorists, and laughing at the idea that "pizza" could be some sort of code...then Dr Pizza, well, you know the rest.
That's because people still like to treat pizzagate as this massive delusion of insane people, so any acknowledgement of it that isn't pure derision will be met with hatred.
Like, the narrative shift against pizzagate was probably one of the most effective I've ever seen. People who believe nothing the media or government says still ate their lines about pizzagate being a giant nothingburger totally and utterly.
No one has ever explained any of the massive smoke that led to it of course. They just focus on the few assumed fires and disprove them, and then pretend the smoke was equally as fabricated.
