I think the MeToo movement and then Epstein entering into the public consciousness cracked open something in a lot of people's brains that was not able to be neatly put away. Like there's an awareness that stuff like child trafficking and sex abuse by the elites is happening, but also that they cannot really be held accountable for any of it.
So I think they're trying to find another path to resolve the feeling that something needs to be done about this terrible thing, and their brains land on "my 'neighbor' (in this case some other random tiktoker) is also doing child trafficking and I will hold THEM accountable for it."

Maybe those spurred this specific manifestation, but it's mostly in line with previous moral panics about minorities coming for young white women. People have made a lot of noise about sex trafficking here in the past couple of years, but it's always rich girls calling a parking lot "sketch" or claiming their cousin was almost sex trafficked at a gas station. When there was an actual large-scale sex trafficking bust recently, none of the victims were of that demographic, and the victims were being held by people they knew.

this is the key bit of info a lot of these conspiracies/panics leave out. obviously it’s a bit different in the case of child trafficking but even then I don’t think most kids are just snatched off the street, it’s still at least initiated by people they know and trust iirc

Part of the problem is that cops now call their prostitution busts "sex trafficking stings" even though no one ever gets charged with sex trafficking, only with solicitation or prostitution.

Gives people the impression that "Taken" poo poo is happening in their backyard when it's actually just the usual cops busting johns.

I remember going back and watching the first TMNT movie years ago, the first time I had seen it since I was a kid, no less, and I was genuinely surprised that it was far better than it had any right to be

Good movie!

That opening was cool as hell too. A massive hand-off chain for wallet snatching teens.

Doesn't that movie make a big deal about Shredder recruiting kids off the streets and establishing himself as a father figure to them? That kinda setup makes a lot of sense, it's basically like army recruitment events.

Actually that's probably the most in-depth they actually get into the Foot Clan in most TMNT incarnations. The 2012 series does have an acquaintance/stalker of the Turtles recruited to the Foot, and later in the series they actually talk about how the Foot's running out of minions and use knockoff alien technology to build robo-ninjas to replace them.

Where do y’all go for movie recommendations? I’ve had the best experience with Google (oddly enough) and IMDB. Letterboxd’s lists tend to be super mainstream and oddly specific while Movielens gets me wrong entirely.

Criterion Channel has some real good curation going on, it's rare that I outright dislike a movie I've seen on it.

fun fact, Herman Munster is canonically a US Army WW2 veteran. I wonder if they're keeping that

e: on second thought probably not, because the original timeline was Herman meets Lily in Transylvania, then they move to America, then Herman joins the army lol

At least I can probably trust Rob Zombie not to make him an Iraq/Afghanistan veteran or something

Since he’s a Frankenstein made out of multiple corpses stitched together, he can technically be a veteran of all of Americas wars!
