Having written supremely fucked up content doesn’t mean he has “known pedophilic tendencies”. People have made assumptions about authors who wrote all forms of horror or produced other media because they are repulsed by the content of the media. As an example, Rob Zombie has made films about mass murder, rape, incest, and the guy is a friendly vegan.

Without knowing his intent, I think this is an example of poor phrasing. If anything that’s supported by his later tweet:

Did Epstein traffic young girl(sic)? Yes, of course. Is there a client list? Doubtful. Conspiracy fodder.
