    I haven’t seen the film or heard much about it, only seen a preview before gaurdians but

    How is this film QAnon-adjacent?

    (and how is it that anti-pedophilia is now only a right wing thing when the church has been fucking children for decades? dont let em have it…)

      This whole anti pedophilia thing coming from the right is just projection. They assume everyone else is one because they are.

      A lot of the cast and crew and people who endorsed the movie are very into the whole Qanon thing, including Tim Ballard, the real guy the movie is about. The movie itself doesn’t actually promote any of that, though, (or at least, not that I could tell) and a good chunk is based on a real sting operation. There’s a lot of fiction, as is the case with most ‘based on a true story’ movies, though. And I haven’t checked, but I’m kind of suspicious of the charity they encourage you to donate to during the credits.

      It’s not. The media keeps wanting to make it so. There’s nothing Qanon about it. Jim Caviezel is a proponent of Qanon conspiracies, and that’s its only connection.

      I know she can be “controversial” here, but Shoe0nHead did a video on it.

      Well you see, its not. The left just wants it to be, so they say that it is anyways. Its called lying.
