some type of adult girl

scallioncreamcheesebagel:

heads up ive seen a bunch of people reposting this conspiracy theory from reddit that wayfair is using unusually expensive furniture listings to traffick children and… it’s complete misinfo with zero evidence behind it, please stop spreading it.

• if you’re not a coder you have no idea how easy it is to fuck things up. industrial grade cabinets priced at 14k that wayfair have stated is the correct price due to the specialized materials are accurate. shower curtains priced at literally “$9999” is obviously an error.
• the “the names match missing girls!” thing is complete bs because… these are all just regular female first names… and if they were actual traffickers they’d probably use different names than the girls’ real ones, as to you know, not get caught?
• THE LISTINGS WITH THE MISSING GIRLS’ NAMES HAVE LITERALLY BEEN UP LONGER THAN THE GIRLS HAVE BEEN MISSING. companies use female names to name entire collections of furniture, many items under $100, not just one very expensive cabinet. you’ll find “yaritza”, “isabella”, etc items of all varieties, and from other furniture stores besides wayfair.

• doing any sort of illegal trading this way (trafficking, drugs, etc) is insanely risky and super traceable. anyone doing this would get caught immediately. this is why they use the dark web instead.

this whole thing is just a dumb reddit conspiracy theory drenched in confirmation bias. please stop using real missing children as fodder for it, and focus on actual issues that need attention right now. and for the love of god don’t make child trafficking jokes.
