This very much reads as things someone who deeply understands the Streisand Effect would say

    Personally, I think Chris Hansen has been divorced from reality for a very long time. Maybe this "To Catch a Predator" movie will make more people question Chris Hansen's motivations and actions.

    Mind you, I'm not saying he's done some good. But how it's been accomplished should be questioned. Even do-gooders should be accountable.

    A lot more people need to be aware of how Chris Hansen has a lot more in common with Jake Gyllenhaal's Nightcrawler than he does with this hero image of being a pedophile hunter.

    I witnessed the Onision saga in real time back in 2019 and it is very, very clear that Hansen does not give a fuck about anything but money and his reputation - which he somehow routinely sets on fire like a dumbass. The word "grifter" was invented for people like him.

    I think he does alright given he works with law enforcement, vs the guys doing it for YouTube views. My bigger issue with him is how he feels like dropping his name to the predators is this big event like he's this larger than life being. Basically he feels like a narcissist.

    That's a pretty childish response considering it's an unauthorized movie about his life and he just said he doesn't like it...

    You think the better plan was parents putting their head in the sand?

    This shit became common sense because of Chris Hansen...

    Ignoring problems doesn't make them go away, it just means everyone is ignoring them.

    Piefeed.social is weird as fuck lately...

    There's always a bunch of relatively inactive accounts making illogical and uninformed takes, but theres almost always a handful of votes that go with them quickly. But the vast majority of posts never get comments.

    I don't know if it's bots or tribalist voting. But lately anytime I comment on this instance I'm left wondering why I'm even here.

    See if this helps narrow down what’s happening. If anything, you might see a trend in upvotes/downvotes.

    Pretty sure the admin disabled it...

    Like, not sure if you know all the drama with this instance and their admin, but there's a lot going on and if it's not cross the line to "unmaintained" it's pretty close.

    Pretty sure I'm just gonna block the whole thing.

    The Catholic Church and other massive institutional predators were exposed over a period of decades and that informed the world.

    Do you think he had adults dress up as altar boys?

    It was about how bad it was online...

    That was literally the entire point of the show "you were talking to _____ online"....

    You're very very opinionated about this but don't seem to know anything about it, except it was bad for pedophiles...

    Why is pedophiles getting called out so upsetting for you?

    Would you prefer those pedophiles were allowed to continue unhindered? Or is it okay if someone cashes in on something we desperately need more of?

    You kids and your purity tests are going far more damage than people like Hanson are.
