    It’s weird as shit that people keep bringing it up, like they think Hawking was out there raping kids while he can only talk with his cheek muscles.

    Part of the point of Epstein Island was that he’d invite academics and celebrities on the premise of an all expense paid island meet and greet. The child rape wasn’t included in the free tour, they were there as a smokescreen for the paying clients.

    If you want to blame him for helping provide cover, go for it, but I personally don’t expect random extremely disabled professors to be able to spot an oligarchal pedophile ring that wasnt yet exposed.

    Like, seriously, why does Lemmy always bring up Hawking and not any of the people who might have actually abused a child?
