I think people are tired of the endless attention shifting from one news cycle to the next. Everything is super important, until the next thing comes along which always demands our attention.
e: I never expressed an opinion on whether it was good/bad. I'm just explaining the reason why.
And yet, forcing Epstein into every conversation only marginalizes the people who each particular issue affects. If people claim that trans people getting our rights taken away is a distraction from Epstein, it makes me feel like my life doesn't matter. If people act like our freedom of speech getting taken away distracts from Epstein, I feel like they're ignoring the real issue. It has a time and a place, not every time and every place.
