This is pretty strong evidence against pizzagate. These allegations came out four days ago and now absolutely everybody is dropping this band like a hot potato -- see e.g. https://theawl.com/nevermind-about-pwr-bttm-2cbd978b2db8 -- which is the exact opposite of what pizzagate would predict would happen.

Could you elaborate? How exactly can the namesake of a research project, i.e. "Pizzagate" have the ability to "predict" anything? What does that even mean?

Are you basing this off of what happened @ CPP in DC? Because, we're talking about nearly an 180 degree situational difference. This is direct allegations vs. CPP which were indirect/inferred. If children/young adults came out to accuse CPP of abuse and there was evidence/corroboration, you still think there would be a massive out-pour of brainwashed DC leftists showing their support? Do you think CPP/JA would have still been leveraged as the "Fake News" Poster child victims?

CPP remains relatively unscathed because of the sheer lack of hard evidence. Circumstantial? Yes! Needs to be explained? Yes! But anything incriminating? (Outside of the alleged files lifted from the PC that was magically struck by a bullet) No!... doesn't look like an investigation will ever happen.

So.... yeah, in the world of "Fake News", if these allegations couldn't hold water - PWR BTTM could very well have become CPP/JA Part 2. The victims of "Fake News". But, considering they are being dropped by the label so fast, that leads me to believe there is something serious behind the accusations. Perhaps more than we currently know. Or maybe the singular accusation is true and this is all damage control to preserve their chance of success.

Either way, to say that this is strong evidence "against pizzagate" makes absolutely no sense.

Uhm the difference is that this is some shitty social justice punk rock band where Alefantis is rumored to be a Rothschild.
