former gay boyfriend
Not just saying "ex-boyfriend" already gives this a bit of a hissing homophobic tone. Correct the Record is shit because it attacked the left almost as much as the (farther) right and so the connection is damning in my eyes but I ain't here for "former gay boyfriend."
Given the subject, are you really going to give a shit and tone-police about that? Really?
It is a dive
It is not a dive.
It sure tries to look like a dive, though. Shabby chic. Looks at the walls where the patrons eat. Intentionally shabby, no?
has hidden bathroom doors and creepy murals
It has neither and unless one is a philistine it just has murals.
Okay, stop.
It
MOST CERTAINLY FUCKING DOES. Are you blind? Are you just relying on your friends' word? Have you actually looked at anything yet? "Mural" may not be the technical term of art, but it definitely has/had creepy big paintings, right where the ping pong tables are, of people holding disembodied heads.
Their menu include a pedophilic symbol
Also incorrect. The logotype contains two crossed ping pong paddles. As I mentioned earlier, this is a visual trope in design, especially in athletics. I myself have made multiple logos for a rowing team using crossed oars and a tennis club using crossed rackets. In neither case was I designing a "pedophilic symbol" for the groups of people. They didn't even bring it up during the meeting! Boy was I duped.
IMAGES CUT
There are tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of these. Jocks tend not to have a lot of imagination.
You are pulling the same shit Burnt Hill was before, picking the least credible/suspicious thing out of 100+ fucking things and boy did you decide to hammer that one home. Why? How about the Besta logo.
The music acts and the posters promoting same acts are bizarre in their presentation, content, and lyrical focus
I see a lot of feminist and women-fronted indie pop / indie rock acts. Speedy Ortiz in particular are probably one of the better-known acts and became famous for their anti-rape / anti-sexual assault at shows public stance. Now, calling this genre "bizarre," I'm starting to see a pattern emerge with the language used earlier: "former gay boyfriend."
Remind us, did you ever see Heavy Breathing?
Everyone associated with the business is making semi-overt, semi-tongue-in-cheek, and semi-sarcastic inferences towards sex with minors.
Really? This is stated, but presented without evidence. So, really? I'm willing to listen, but it seems highly improbable.
It's documented in a big batch of screenshots. You are either playing dumb for some unknown reason, or you literally have not looked at any of the evidence. Either way, as far as I see it, this post of yours has crippled your credibility. You should be ashamed of yourself.
That's it for the "In brief" section. If this is the summarization, the majority of the presuppositions are incorrect.
The following section, about Epstein, Franklin, Finders, Dutroux, etc., that's all good.
No, they are not incorrect.
AGAIN: IF YOU HAVE NOT YET READ THE SUMMARY, THEN READ IT FOR YOURSELF. BECAUSE LUTHER, BURNT HILL, AND OP ED ARE NOT REPRESENTING IT IN EVEN A REMOTELY ACCURATE WAY.
