Hey, Notch! Reporter here. Can you shoot me a DM about your pizzagate beliefs? Thx.

Hi, Reporter. My beliefs are if you mention it your tweet gets a lot of attention, even more than saying punching is bad.

The arguments on both sides of whatever they want to convince obvious shills on the other side of range from inane to things I won't explore

I think I saw two people actually manage to communicate somewhere in there, which I think was about a fact checking thing.

Overall, people seem more offended by the vegan tweet, but no reporters contacted me about that.

Interesting. So you don't really think pizzagate is real, then? Oh, and you can also call me Brian ;)

I feel more like people are picking one of two sides emotionally in this incredibly insanely huge binary split, much like politics.

Surely there are alternatives in between refusing to report on busts and reptilian antichrists, but people keep polarizing.

Nuance is lost when you're with or against us, and reality is nuanced. If you reject reality, nothing actually changes, you just lose power.

Twitter is a terrible platform for nuanced debate and discussion. I think what notch is getting at is both sides of pizzagate are too extreme. One side refuses to acknowledge there could ever be people in positions of power taking advantage of children, while the other side sees imagery and symbols of pedophilia in everything, no matter how loose the connection. And, like most things, the truth falls somewhere in the middle.
I came to voat because I wanted uncensored discussion. I feel I've had my eyes opened to a lot of uncomfortable truths that people would rather ignore. But at times even I find myself rolling my eyes and scoffing at claims made by some of the people here. I think that is what notch is getting at. There are truths here, but between the shills trying to discredit the movement and the extremists making claims that may sound ridiculous, people will continue to remain polarized on the issue.
