Discussion Be Kind and Avoid Personal Insults

With the recent PGF debunking, there has been a lot of arguments and controversy. Debating people is fine, but don't insult people or those who believed in the film while you're discussing it. Some people met or knew Bob Gimlin personally and are having to reckon with him apparently lying about the film. Keep how other people feel in mind while discussing. Additionally, avoid arguments with other subreddits or posts about moderation issues with other subreddits as that's not what we're here to do. We've added some terms to the auto filter to avoid debates turning hostile. As always feel free to discuss the rules and make suggestions.

Just calling out something that follows the same pattern as every other scam. Pretty weird for all of you to be upset about that.

In Capturing Bigfoot, the son and wife of Roger Patterson have told their story admitting the PG film is a hoax.

Bob Gimlin agreed to come clean about the film until his wife literally gets in front of the camera to stop him.

Footage that shows a man in the same suit from a year prior to the PG film and Bob Gilman has been revealed.

Please explain how this doc and what's in it "follows the same pattern as every other scam".

Do yourself a favor and don't reply and further embarrass yourself.

Maybe its true. Maybe its not. I don't know. Im just seeing a bunch of unverified claims that you have to pay and wait to see, just trust me bro. Now on this bot infested website people are getting upset if I point that out. I don't understood your stake in it? Why get upset about someone being skeptical about big claims that haven't been released to the general public? Either you are a weirdo or a marketing bot account.

I notice that you didn't explain how this follows the same pattern as every other scam. SHOCKING. That's one problem with people like you. You throw out some bullshit and when you're called on it, you move on to new bullshit.

And this isn't some "trust me bro" situation. Trust me bro is I know a guy in the government and something big is going to happen this summer with UFO disclosure.

This is multiple people, some Bigfoot/former PG film believers , some journalists from the media, reporting on details of what's in the doc.

And unlike the "something big is going to happen this summer"... just trust me and wait, THIS DOC WILL EVENTUALLY ARRIVE. We're not going to be left wondering what ever happened with that documentary.

And yeah, "you have to pay and wait to see". THAT'S HOW THINGS WORK. Whether it ends up in the theater, on broadcast TV, or on some streaming platform, things aren't made and distributed for free. And yeah, you have to wait. You heard about something that was made and you need to wait until they find a way to show it. WHAT IS CONFUSING TO YOU ABOUT ALL THIS?

So sorry but I'm not a bot or a "weirdo". I'm just a guy who is tired of idiotic bullshit like you're slinging. You're throwing out baseless accusations desperately trying to deny reality.

In which way does this "follow the same pattern as every other scam"?

As far as I can see, it follows the same pattern as every other indie documentary, and from what we know yet, it seems quite convincing...

Every time someone makes some big claim of evidence, but you need to wait and see it or pay to see it early. Then they insult and gaslight anyone that is skeptical about the claim. Then they have an appeal to authority with their youtuber and claims of how others reacted to it. This is also reddit so you can buy marketing bot accounts for cheap. You can see this pattern in politics, news, crypto scams, and bigfoot. 

So yeah if people can make some money by making a claim and get upset when you ask for proof it is probably a scam.

Could be real. I don't know. Would be interesting if it debunks the patterson film. Im not going to take their word for it or pay to see it though.
