      No, “being in the Epstein files”, as a turn of phrase, means you rape kids.

        Well using it that way is fucking dumb.

        Conspiracists peddle the idea that “being in the Epstein files” means you rape kids, except they mean it literally. So between it being far from the literal meaning of the phrase, and it being how some people seriously misunderstand the situation, it makes it better to use some other phrase.

          Ah, alright. I guess being in the Epstein files isn’t really all that bad then.

            Not on its own. Thankfully we can read some of them now and see some of the incriminating stuff.
