Reeling from the Epstein scandal

While all the normies are "reeling" from the Epstein "scandal," I reel in the opposite direction, cringing that they can be so obtuse as to fall for this "sex abuse" hoax. The hoax also comes with amazing doublethink given that as late as 2018 we could read articles about how men doing exactly the same are not sex offenders, like this one in The Art Newspaper about Egon Schiele for example:
Egon Schiele was not a sex offender... By all appearances, Schiele’s sexual escapades were fully in keeping with the norm for a bourgeois young man. Because males were not considered suitable marriage partners until they had established themselves professionally, they were expected to spend their early 20s consorting with prostitutes and lower-class lovers. Most of these prostitutes were minors; the age of consent in fin-de-siècle Austria was 14.
Like fin-de-siècle Austria I don't see a problem with 14-year-old prostitutes, which is the worst Epstein is credibly accused of. I honestly don't comprehend how the normies manage to believe this is the worst crime ever when it obviously couldn't get more culturally relativistic if we peer into the recent past. No, we did not "discover" in the meantime that sex with minors is objectively harmful. Ask any competent and intellectually honest expert like Bruce Rind or Michael Bailey or James Cantor: the evidence is just not there. The current moral outrage is all baseless hysteria and ulterior motives for controlling sexuality.

From reading the news these days one gets the impression that it is humanly impossible to ever question whether what Epstein did is abuse, because there is literally no dissenting voice in the mainstream. My superpower is to not believe in this charade and to say so publicly. Truly a superpower given how statistically rare it is. Heresy is a superpower against a superstition which has eaten the entire world and stands above all other religions as the supreme "truth" against which one shall not blaspheme. Every day I thank God that I did not internalize the CSA hoax like all the gullible or obsequious normies, and that I got the ample record of my blog to prove it!

The normies desperately seek to cleanse themselves of everything to do with Epstein and everyone who knew him, but I only feel like washing off the dirty association with these sex-hostile normies. That's why I'm writing to reiterate once again that I am different. It is exasperatingly difficult to get that message across because when you proudly stand for these views, no one will listen. They only want to hunt those who are hiding or denying that they would ever touch a minor and who apologize profusely for ever associating with one who would. If they stumble upon my blog they get bored after a sentence or two either because there is no sport in exposing an activist or because they can't parse that anyone can deviate from a norm which is supposedly held by the entire culture.

But anyway, here we have a venue to be different. I doubt I will be censored this time either because censorship is not the issue. The truth is out there in the open in places like The Art Newspaper and academic journals; it is simply ignored because hysteria is what the normies want.
