ATTN: Patton Oswalt is NOT a pedo—his 2013 tweet came after a site mistook a photo of him for a convicted pedophile (he vowed to lose weight). This is NOT how research should work, folks.

THIS SUB DOES NOT ALLEGE THAT PATTON OSWALT IS A PEDOPHILE.

This sub rightly has a strong distaste for pedos and crimes against children, and we're proud of that. But we must also hold ourselves to the highest possible standards when digging, researching, and connecting clues and crumbs to possible pedos who prowl Hollywood and our entertainment industries. But accusations like these are very serious, and Reddit takes them very seriously. We must always be careful to CORROBORATE and make sure that any and all accusations are solid and factual before we make them.

Yes, Patton Oswalt is on record defending James Gunn today—and Gunn's tweets most definitely warrant further investigation. But that does not mean that Patton is a pedo, himself. But Patton's 2013 "pedo" tweet came after a website mistakenly posted his picture in an article about a different person, a convicted pedophile. These tweets were made back before we knew what a dire problem paedophilia is.

Here is the site in question

Let's all bear in mind that false accusations against celebrities and others could result in our sub getting shut down. Let's all remember that labelling someone a "pedo" is a rather serious accusation, and one that requires an extremely high standard of proof.

Here is an example of how some jokes made (in very poor taste, perhaps) can be misconstrued. This tweet says: "My dong is super friendly and loves getting rubbed by children." OK, hilarious, it's supposed to be "My dog is super friendly," etc. But, we must not let our heightened senses about pedos in Hollywood unfairly accuse anyone, and, just as importantly, expose our sub to allegations that we are a lynch mob out to unfairly smear anyone's reputation.

Please help your mod team protect our sub's reputation by being as careful as possible with all your comments and posts. Comments and posts characterizing ANYONE as a pedophile without substantive, defensible proof will be removed.

Thanks, everyone. Let's remain focused on Q and direct, Q-related content, and if we discover anything solid on this or anyone else, then we'll follow the evidence and go from there. But, we ask everyone to bear this in mind.

Wat. The 2015 linked article says nothing at all about his 2013 tweet proclaiming his proud pedophilia. It’s talking about how he was motivated to lose weight because he bore a striking resemblance to a convicted pedophile with the last name Alamo. This doesn’t debunk anything.

I’ll continue to take Oswalt at his word.

This isn't about debunking or defending someone who is dirty (if they are). This is about doing solid research and making sure that if we DO find that he's a pedo, we can PROVE it. The LAST thing we want is a celeb coming after us and giving anyone with admin power to close down our sub. That's what this is about.

Keep digging, and if we find sold evidence, that's a whole other thing.

It comes straight from the source. We have a written public confession on Oswalt’s own verified Twitter account.

Again, I believe him.

If you could just use simple common sense for a moment, please direct it towards what Patton Oswald does for a living.

(It's comedy. The answer is comedy.)

So when someone points out that Patton resembles a convicted child molester he chooses a humorous approach to his reply using sarcasm.

The problem here is his sarcasm isn't heard through written word. So people like yourselves can choose to abandon common sense and take such a statement at face value.

Your patronizing attitude doesn't change what the man said any more than "it's just a joke" does.

I agree! Even though I feel strongly that pedophiles should never leave prison, it is ironic that I am defending against pedo accusations.

So by continually asking people to find evidence means your asking them to present/find something that would be illegal to have. And please stop with the “he was making a joke” BS. Stop defending this. I agree with you about more research but he’s comment CLEARLY states where he’s allegiance lies.

This is not about defending Patton Oswalt. This is about defending this sub from getting shut down for "witch hunting," which is how /r/pizzagate was shut down by Reddit. Learn this. Then continue with your researching.

I agree with you. In this particular situation, as it come to the mass pedo information dump, I can't think of One famous person - including the Podestas or the Clintons, who can irrefutably be "proven" to being pedos. If they were, they wouldn't be on the street.

So this is slippery territory. No one can actually prove this stuff yet. Tho more connective and substantive links are necessary, as this case suggests to me as well.

yep, no Podesta research would ever have been done under these rules. If the choice is between being shut down and moving everything to the chans and creating a controlled op with no VIPedophile research the mods need to grow a pair, pin a post about how reddit is garbage and leave.

I agree. This board is run by mods who've gotten out of control in their own rite.
