By giving this shit exposure what you are actually doing is detracting from the genuine conspiracies which do happen and that there is evidence to support. Dare I say perhaps that is even the intended purpose for some of you.
Sorry, but Pizzagate has been thoroughly debunked as fake news. The story was a hoax:-
Neither article demonstrates it was a hoax. For instance, the BBC article you linked to says, "began posting speculation and supposed connections gleaned from internet searches". Speculation is not a hoax. Neither article lays out all the evidence claimed and "debunks" it.
Now it's true that all the evidence found so far is just suggestive and circumstantial. And as the BBC article says, "No victim has come forward." So at this point it is still just speculation.
I'll at least give the BBC article credit for voicing why people are legitimately concerned:
"Despite the complete lack of physical evidence or victim testimony, there are reasons why the hardcore conspiracy theorists are particularly sensitive to allegations of child sex abuse.
It's known, for instance that Bill Clinton and Donald Trump flew on the private plane of convicted child abuser Jeffery Epstein. Tony Podesta, the brother of the Clinton aide whose emails were hacked, was a friend of Dennis Hastert, a Republican politician who earlier this year was sentenced to 15 months in prison, and has admitted abusing boys. The Jimmy Savile scandal in the UK has featured in speculation as an example of a serial child abuser getting away with his crimes."

I'm not sure that you understand how burden of proof works, mate. When you make up a bunch of slander, it isn't de facto real until someone disproves it.

I'm not sure you know how definitions work, mate. Speculation is not the same as a hoax, ergo your initial claim was "fake news". And you can't "debunk" speculation by ignoring the circumstantial evidence, ergo your claim that Pizzagate is "fake news" is itself "fake news". What you are essentially saying is to stop all investigation because it is all a hoax, while ignoring the documented circumstantial evidence, and ignoring the historical context of past pedophile scandals being covered up and ignored despite the smoke.
