Everything is child trafficking in conspiracy theories.

They’re jealous of the Muslims and Hindus who already have all that going on.

Is it happening in the Etsy basement and run by Hillary Clinton? 🙄

I wish the article specified whether downloadable images of pizza actually sold for thousands of dollars or whether they were simply listed for that much. Like I can put my toenail clippings up on eBay with a $1000 price tag but it doesn’t mean people are buying them.

Probably Just someone trying to scam someone else out 1k. Just like those PS5 2k eBay listing that was just a print out image.

Holy shit this is such a pet peeve of mine.

Go to “completed listings,” you tool.

Seriously though…buying a child? In this economy?

Hey, it’s a great time to buy. Supply hasn’t dropped, but demand has.

Whoops, probably shouldn’t have this Bar Association logo there…

The ads are very strange, probably either a troll intentionally seeking this outcome or a scammer targeting pedophiles who believed in pizzagate and used it to look for CSAM. In any case, very weird.

Troll seems most likely given it’s specifically a pizza. But there’s several reasons someone would put up a fake listing. Could be a poorly thought out method for “laundering” stolen credit cards. Or someone just hoping for a bored or drunk millionaire. Or someone boosting # of listings stats on their account. Or a temporary placeholder because they’re trying to transfer reviews between listing’s. I’m sure there’s more possibilities.

Remember the golden rule, folks: every accusation is a confession.

JCreazy@midwest.social on 25 Dec 2023 04:31 next collapse

Isn’t them just trying to throw off the fact that they are the ones doing this kind of thing?
