- Marcotte cites influencer flareups, pointing to Sólionath’s graphic monologue and Nick Fuentes’ admission of virginity as examples of a broader pattern.
- She links the scrutiny to the Justice Department’s 5.2 million-page Epstein document trove, noting that selective material continues to surface.
