nothing about this seemed related to child trafficking. looked like it might be haunted tho!

I agree with you, the association with human trafficking was made by the first hand observers. The posters of bands that feature child abuse and death as themes is what raises suspicion.

i listened to music with themes of death when i was a kid, (still do) it meant a whole lot of nothing! i just think this one was reaching, but who knows, i could be wrong.

None of the symbology we are investigating is bad on its own. Death is one of the more popular themes in art. People should be allowed to be edgy. And I give the benefit of bullshit to each and everyone I come across while reading what they write or looking at the photos they post. There is a certain amount of dramatization and characterization associated with being an artist, especially in a metal band. It's the repetition and the way these symbols are arranged that form a pattern of communication and a culture. And the primary topic of the investigation, James Alefantis, has generously confirmed that we, supposed normies, are in a different culture than he is.

i'm not sure what you're trying to say here. i was just saying that the place just looked like a flop house for punk rock kids (or young metal heads,) not a child trafficking location. i'm an artist so yeah, i like edgy music & art. i do find that people on this board sometimes jump at shadows. i do understand it to a degree, because this pedo shit has me jumping at shadows too, but not every g-damn thing is child trafficking. btw i'm a metal head from way back, so my tolerance for edgy is probably considerably higher than most people on this board.

I like the "jumping at shadows" expression. I jumped at the Abiku shadow and waited a whole week to post that lead here because I grew up with heavy metal and always saw these groups as posing, not expressing their own deeply held beliefs and culture. However, this leads to artists who pile on the symbolism so high it gives a headache, and gives me the sads... because I feel like they are expressing the connected culture of children raised with SRA.
