> Libs of TikTok’s post said it happened “in front of children.” Anthony said no children were present. He was clothed and laughing in the video.

I suppose if your point is that “if they don’t say the word pedophile they are not insinuating anything to that effect” then you are correct. If insinuation is not something that exists, the argument that there is no connection between the libsoftiktok posts and the bomb threats makes sense.

These examples are not hard to find

As far as children being present, see my comment elsewhere: https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=39293774

These examples are not hard to find

Is there a copy of the inciting video available somewhere? The article didn't seem to include it.

That does seem damning, if true to how the article described it.

I have, and what I've found does not support the claims that people are making. Granted, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok are quite difficult to browse without an account/app, so I acknowledge it's possible that things exist I haven't been able to find.

I find it bizarre how aggressive people are getting in response to me asking for concrete examples.

What have you found without accounts on these platforms and how are you confident in what you’ve concluded given that limitation?

For example, I actually answered Rich’s last question but didn’t get a reply because it didn’t fit into the bit.

You didn't get a reply because I haven't been on the site.

You also didn't answer my question. You posted a blog post alleging that specific claims had been made. I acknowledged that the allegations seemed serious and asked if the video in question was available to be viewed, to which you simply responded "no."

Saying "you can easily find examples" is disingenuous when many of the examples are making or repeating claims that are either unsourced or with dubious evidence. For example, the linked article seems to omit context that took me "10 seconds" to find.

>I have, and what I've found does not support the claims that people are making.

and your reply to me!

But it wasn't. You just assumed it was because you weren't immediately provided evidence you could have just as easily found yourself.

What the site does is not innocuous; we already know that.

Asking for specific examples to substantiate serious allegations is not "being pedantic." This is a divisive topic, passing around potentially untrue or exaggerated claims only muddies the water.
