Over some time I've seen PedoGate been pushed as a term we should switch to.
With the latest post about Reddit accepting PizzaGate back, but under a different name "PedoGate."
Makes me think that a discredit campaign is taking place, that something is going down trying to discredit the entire thing.
And that the narrative is being controlled on Reddit, as there's no logic to why Reddit would allow the investigation back otherwise. With the way PizzaGate got thrown off Reddit in the first place. I just doesn't make sense that it's suddenly allowed back, but under a different guise.

The idea to call it "pedogate" instead has been floating around a while. The point is to broaden the scope. There are hubs in the child trafficking network that have nothing to do with pizzerias.
I'm not saying that I trust Reddit higher-ups, but I think it was pretty clear that the main problem with having the pizzagate sub was that it was all focused around a particular restaurant and its owner. The thing about harassment is that it doesn't matter if you're correct about what you're saying or not. If you're congregating online to make accusations against specific individuals and people are creating real-life consequences for those individuals, you're making a very easy case for someone to shut you down.
"Pizzagate" focuses us on CPP and the Podesta e-mails, where people have built circumstantial cases. "Pedogate" is stronger because it can encompass the actual busts that have happened recently. Predicating the whole thing on charges that were actually filed that led to arrests is more "justifiable" than so-called "speculation" surrounding a pizza joint.
If we're talking about something that has been going on since before Comet Ping Pong even opened, why do we need to keep "pizza?" I don't see a reason to stop using pizzagate because we've already put so much fuel in it, but I don't see a good reason to avoid "pedogate" at all. I personally think it's the more appropriate of the two.

I see both sides, but agree with you here.
