Before the explanation by Alefantis of the picture of the taped girl existed there were a lot of scenarios that you could imagine for why this picture existed. Occams razor asks what is the most mundane explanation for something? What explanation would be the most common explanation for a scenario like this, what's at the top of the bell curve? I would say, and the explanation I've seen most people come to, is that it's a joke picture. The girl is having fun and there was some inside joke going on when the picture was taken, possibly the 'new seating procedure' person was there and knew that's what the joke was.

And then the video came out of Alefantis explaining it and it wasn't exactly what people were thinking but it was pretty close in that it was a playful situation and a very mundane not at all sensational explanation. But the explanation I and other people initially thought could have been true and so could a whole spectrum of possibilities have been proposed before we got to the very smallest part of the bell curve: pedophilia.

Why would I wait till that one child is done bondaging the other one, then tell it to go away so I can take a picture only of the bondaged girl with a man behind her and then not even giving an explanation how this happened when I post this?

I would argue that this is not how occam's razor works, you're meant to be asking what is the most mundane explanation. So if we're asking does his explanation make sense, is your scenario the most plausible one you can come up with? You seem to have come up with a situation that is purposefully bizarre. You assume he is standing there waiting to take the picture, why do that? Why would he have to tell the other girl to go away? the picture is taken pretty close to the girl I'm pretty sure she doesn't have to be standing anymore than a foot away from the girl in the picture and still be out of frame. If he isn't a pedophile he wouldn't look at that picture in a sexual way and so wouldn't think he needed to give an explanation, it just wouldn't have occurred to him to see the picture in that way.

How do you explain "hotard"?

Again there is a whole spectrum of possibilities that could explain this, pedophilia is there but if you're being honest is it a large possibility or small? I think maybe the guy is calling alefantis this, like maybe that's what they call each other as a joke between friends. Maybe that's some other bizarre inside joke and doesn't actually mean ho retard. Maybe that guy is close with the childs parents and that's just the way they joke, that would be unusual but I've heard families call each other things like that in an affectionate way. Or maybe that guy is an asshole and he doesn't know where to draw the line. I could go on and on but with no further detail what do you honestly think is the most likely explanation?

Chickenlovers

The girl or boy in the picture looks like they're eating something, maybe chicken?

I would say that the general method you all claim to be using is right, which is that enough circumstantial evidence produces a solid suspicion. If he had many pictures that taken by themselves could have a plausible explanation but that taken altogether were difficult to explain without pedophilia then you would have suspicion, but still not proof. But after having scoured his instagram and life generally the only things that might suggest alefantis has a sexual attraction to children, much less acted on them, are like 4 or 5 pictures. Not convincing enough for the very serious accusation of pedophilia.

I'm sorry you probably won't get a reply from him from my knowledge they usually just ignore all evidence or critical thinking as you call it and just start a new thread claiming its fake and on a completely new account just saying , lets see if he replies to your comment about your observations we'll see.
