Maybe if they were starting to convince each other that molesting children really isn't all that bad, or something like that, but from what I've seen, that sub isn't like that at all. It can be extremely beneficial to have people who can relate to you, and to have a space where you can talk out your problems without feeling judged. When people feel so judged, they just clam up, and sometimes end up doing bad things because they weren't able to work out their feelings (and I'm not saying you shouldn't be judged for assaulting children - but beating down people who are seeking help doesn't do any good). As long as that sub doesn't block everyone that may have critiques for them (that doesn't include trolls or people brigading them), and is transparent, which it seems to be, I think it's mostly a good thing.

Well r/pizzagate was transparent and it got shut down. For trying to expose the truth.

No room for pretzel logic here. Take it to tumblr.

How is that even related? All that shows is that some of the higher-ups on reddit abuse their power. But just because one sub got shut down doesn't mean another should get shut down.

And the whole 'go back to tumblr' line is a little ridiculous to use here - this isn't 4chan (although it's seeming more and more like it every day...). There are all kinds of people here, including those who use tumblr, and instead of trying to block people out and turn this into /pol/, we should be trying to get more people here. Don't need more echo chambers.
