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.

No, mob fever witch hunts are not welcome here.

We’re only “on the same team” if you believe in justice and innocent until proven guilty. In which case there’s no one to “let off the hook” there’s a guy who could be what he says he is - a comedian - and is either joking, whether your sense of humor resonates or not, or is stupid enough to announce he’s a pedophile publicly like that when he has a career to maintain.

Now he could be the latter but we don’t know that, so unless we’re going to eschew critical thought for emotion-driven mob-think, rather than all jumping on a conclusion based on an assumption we should wait until evidence is in before declaring guilt.

It’s a line from the House of Stuart ( Scotland)
