Case study, pertains to activity on SVF
When “Blowing Smoke Up Your Ass” Was Much More Than Just A Saying
Pedo subs are gone, pedo pleasing content, legal pics of children is now zero tolerance status. That's something @
PuttItOut would never do, and so Voat was infested with all manner of pedophilia catering content in the NSFW section. Not the case here, so we should be good to continue posting on SVF right?
What has happened.. no what has
really happened? This is a case of having smoke blown up our asses. Accusations against SV and alleged abuse of kids is someone's imagination (and/or agenda) working on attention seeking crack cocaine IMHO
AND.. also being pissed off at SV which many here can understand. BUT LET'S BE CLEAR: There is NO 'smoking gun' regarding any of the accusations of abuse. It's just one user's opinion supposedly 'supported' by a loud repetition of half quotes to imply meaning not in the original quote and couched in unsubstantiated innuendo. There is NO substantiation for the user's self-acclaimed 'legendary spidy sense'. And contrary to the user's self-perspective, NO ONE is 100% correct 100% of the time.
And when a user knowingly has the constant habit of making statements that are unsubstantiated while pretending that they are fact, then I have to question what else are they pulling out of their ass? What other smoke are
they blowing? Stating opinion as though it was fact when it's just based off of an opinion (or an agenda) IS JUST AN OPINION! I too, have an opinion. Why is my opinion worth any less than anyone else's? Why are all the goats here who would agree with my opinion run off and accused of being 'pedo enablers', is it so that what remains will seem more like an unspoken consensus?
Why is the accuser persisting on this site if it's so ripe with 'pedo allies' here? Here, on a site where material that pedos would be attracted to IS BANNED?!
I think it's wrong to present things in such a way as though declarations in of themselves prove accusations as though some case trial had been concluded and the verdict was guilty as charged. That would be trial by troll tactics, truth doesn't matter in drama trials carried out via trolling. Who does that the best? Fucking liberal trannies comes to mind, but I digress.
Blowing fucking smoke up our asses turns out to be all it ever was. IMHO!

Discover the shockingly literal and thoroughly disturbing 18th-century medical origins of the idiom "blowing smoke up your ass."
“Oh, you’re just blowing smoke up my ass,” is something you might hear someone say when they think you’re just telling them what they want to hear. But in 18th-century England, blowing smoke up your ass was an actual medical procedure, and no, we aren’t kidding.
According to Gizmodo, one of the earliest reports of such a practice took place in England in 1746, when a woman was left unconscious after nearly drowning.
Her husband allegedly took the suggestion of administering a tobacco enema to revive her, a practice that was rising in popularity at the time as a possible answer to the frequent, local instances of drowning.
Left with little choice, the man took a tobacco-filled pipe, inserted the stem into his wife’s rectum, and, well, blew a bunch of smoke up there. As strange as it may sound today, it reportedly worked, the hot embers of the tobacco leaf jolting the wife back into consciousness, and the practice grew quickly from there.
But where did the idea to use tobacco as a form of medicine come from? Indigenous Americans, who used the plant to treat various ailments, invented what we refer to as the tobacco enema. English Botanist, physician, and astrologer Nicholas Culpeper borrowed from these practices to treat pain in his native England with methods including enemas to treat inflammation as a result of colic or a hernia.
Years later, English physician Richard Mead would be among the earliest proponents of using the herbal enema as a recognized practice and helped bring its use, however short-lived, into mainstream culture.
By the late 1700s, the blowing smoke had become a regularly applied medical procedure, mostly used to revive people thought to be nearly deceased, usually drowning victims. The process was so common, in fact, that several major waterways kept the instrument, consisting of a bellows and flexible tube, nearby in case of such emergencies.
The tobacco smoke was believed to increase the heart rate of the victim and encourage respiratory functions, as well as “dry out” the insides of the waterlogged individual, making this method of delivery more preferred than breathing air directly into the lungs via the mouth... more
