Wayfair trending on Twitter - Sex Trafficking?!

199 replies

SecretSquirreI · 10/07/2020 23:20

Have you guys seen the stuff on Twitter about Wayfair products being named after missing children (a pillow case for $10k for example) and the theory it's human trafficking?

Blowing up the internet this evening.

Seems unlikely but is very very strange none the less!!

I don’t know how it was so quickly debunked and for people to still spout it’s a conspiracy. Ghislaine Maxwell said she has a video of 2 very famous politicians having sex with underage kids.. It’s absolutely prevalent in Elite circles and whilst many missing kids come back many don’t. There is so much you can’t debunk any longer and I’m may think it’s about to come out. It’s totally corrupt, Some these people In power not all but many have no regards for innocent human lives and children.

Why is it tin foil hat? I’m a mother and it’s absolutely sickening you haven’t got any regards for this.. Sex trafficking Is very regal sadly and horrifying. Stop with the tin foil hat and have some sympathy for these children

@Evelefteden Yandex is like Google, throw random numbers into it and it'll come back with pictures because lots of pictures are on the web with numbers in their filenames, or from cameras which also use numbers.

Yandex doesn't do the porn filtering that Google does.

And that's it.

Because child abusers aren't so stupid to do it in a way that could be spotted that easily and be accidentally uncovered just as easily. That's why.

Abducted children will be traded out of sight and no-one will find them by typing their real names into google.

What children Sockmonster? The ones stolen by Wayfair and sold on their website? There are no children trafficked by Wayfair Sockmonster.

Real children are abused and treated appallingly. A tiny minority are taken from their families and never seen again, usually by lone operators and not paedophile rings. These kinds of conspiracy theories distract from the real crimes and do a disservice to all abused children.

It is tin foil hat territory.

Sockmonster23 · 11/07/2020 18:43

It’s not easily spotted though is it! How long has Epstein and Maxell Been involved in trafficking? This whole tin foil is completely disrespectful, it’s not flat earth we are taking about it! It’s happening and probably amongst Hidden but very sickening and it happens..

SunsetBeetch · 11/07/2020 18:44

Riiiiiiight

Let's hope some nutter with a gun doesn't turn up at Wayfair HQ like they did at that pizza restaurant. Hmm

knittingaddict · 11/07/2020 18:44

A small proportion of the population seem incapable of critical thinking and confirmation bias runs riot. It's so depressing.

Sockmonster23 · 11/07/2020 18:45

Oh and paedophile rings don’t involve famous people or people in power? Completely ignorant comment

knittingaddict · 11/07/2020 18:45

Quite.

Sparklesocks · 11/07/2020 18:46

@knittingaddict I agree that ridiculous hysterics like this theory divert from actual trafficking. It’s disrespectful to the true victims.

I don’t believe this. Not because trafficking of children to abuse them doesn’t happen, but because anyone doing it would be using the dark web not a furniture selling site.

Epstein started his crimes in 2002 as far as we know. He went to prison (sort of) in 2008. It's never really been hidden as such. Lots of people knew about it. Yes he was protected to some extent by the system and who he knew, but it wasn't a secret. It's terrible that he got away with it for so long, but it has no relevance to the Wayfair rubbish.

Also Epstein wasn't a paedophile. He was an ephebophile. Both nasty, but the distinction is worth making.

knittingaddict · 11/07/2020 18:58

I highly recommend a lot of you listen to the Trafficking episode of the podcast “you’re wrong about”

Thanks for that bee222. Always on the lockout for a new podcast, especially the ones debunking myths. Assuming that's what it is?

Sockmonster23 · 11/07/2020 19:05

I’ve not looked into Wayfair Much but to be honest it wouldn’t a massive shocker that maybe someone there was involved in some horrific things. Jimmy Saville was covered up for many years and yet it came out after his death.. there is no denying he was an incredibly famous and well liked figure. I will say this tin foil hat to these children is disrespectful to myself and many others because sadly it does involve some very powerful people with incredible connections. Tin foil hat to me is someone with no basis and no proof but there is plenty that trafficking happens amongst very influential people. To what extent no one knows because just like Saville thyings do get covered up for many years. Of course I don’t believe it reflects everyone who is famous or in power but some have known about. I do believe some morenames out unless Ghislaine dies suddenly.. For the sake of the poor kids I hope justice is done.

Sex trafficking Is very regal sadly

I'd imagine Prince Andrew would agree...

safariboot · 11/07/2020 19:07

This conspiracy theory will have been started to attack Wayfair. It could be a competitor, a criminal gang doing extortion, an online mob who disagree with something someone at Wayfair has said. There is bound to be a motivation behind starting such a conspiracy theory, probably financial, and probably a group not just one person stirring it up.

knittingaddict · 11/07/2020 19:17

Could be any of those Safari. Could also be some bored person putting random shopping codes in a dodgy search engine and suddenly 2 and 2 make 555.

There are people out there who believe in mole children and Hilary Clinton being a paedophile. People are odd. Personally if they are so interested in child abuse victims I would rather they did something useful like fund raising or volunteering, but where's the fun in that?

Cruddles · 11/07/2020 19:17

I don't think people who think this is bullshit deny child trafficking takes place in the world. But a highly priced item on Wayfair is not how they do it. Get real people

PotholeParadise · 11/07/2020 19:37

Sockmonster23 AFAIK, it's a company that sells overpriced furniture and homewares. Their stuff comes up in my shopping searches all the time.

You seem to think we don't believe rich and influential people abuse children. We do.

We just don't think they do by listing children by their real names on a popular furniture webfront, where even the parents could have found their children by using google.

Boredbumhead · 11/07/2020 19:38

I think there is something in this and I think it was a third party not Wayfair directly. We dismiss things at our peril. Why name 5 cabinet differently and why remove and rename. It's all bullshit and something sick is going on.

BigBadVoodooHat · 11/07/2020 19:43

If the wildly over-priced cabinets and their allusive names are an incontrovertible indicator that a furniture website is selling trafficked children but pretending they’re wardrobes, may I tentatively suggest that the wildly hyperbolic posts and allusive username ‘Sockmonster23’ are similarly indicative of a concealed agenda?
