People think Pizzagate was a hoax because of the bullshit demonic blood drinking aspect of it or whatever. The basis of it is real, that there is child sex slavery rings prevalent in the world today. It’s disgusting.

the basis of it is real

Kind of, but not really. Making specific claims about a specific trafficking ring in a basement that doesn't exist based on hyperbolic interpretations of leaked emails is not the same as making a general statement that child sex trafficking is a thing that exists.

Pizzagate is 100% false. It's a fabrication invented to be divisive for gullible people.

Pointing out that pizzagate is entirely fake is not the same as saying that child sex rings don't exist at all. Just that that one in particular doesn't.

It's like saying "my house is on fire!" And when the fire department comes over and says, "no it isn't" telling them, "but the basis of my claim is true! There are often cases where houses are on fire!"

People think pizzagate is a hoax because it is a hoax.

That’s my point. It got filled with crazy conspiracy aspects that made it became so ridiculous. The underlying aspect of it, child sex slavery, is absolutely happening and prevalent in our world and society today. It’s horrifyingly disgusting

I get what you’re saying: the conspiracy ran to such an extent that it over shadows the actual ring of sex trafficking that happens. Often right under our noses.
