About Seth Dillon Is Involved In Child Trafficking Shirt
The t-shirt bears the statement “Seth Dillon (@SelthDillon) is involved in child trafficking,” where @SelthDillon refers to the social media account of Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee.
This phrase on the t-shirt is reminiscent of false accusations and slander targeting Seth Dillon, which revolve around claims of human trafficking and pedophilia. These defamatory posts gained traction after an incident involving a tweet by Seth Dillon about a young girl from Mississippi who could not obtain an abortion after being raped.
On August 16, 2023, Seth Dillon quoted a New York Post article titled “Mississippi girl, 13, gives birth after being raped, unable to get an abortion.” Along with the retweet, he commented, “She could always dress him in a ‘should have been aborted’ onesie so no one ever mistakenly thinks he’s wanted.” Although Dillon later deleted the caption, screenshots were taken and reposted. Numerous responses criticized him, with one notable reply stating, “Mocking a girl who was raped and forced to give birth to her rapist’s child seems very un-Christian of you.” Additionally, a trolling statement circulated on social media, retweeted on X, linking Dillon to a news article about a missing 12-year-old girl allegedly staying with a “much older” man, claiming that the man was @SethDillon.
These trolling posts targeting Dillon continued to spread throughout mid-August 2023. For example, a post by X user @JUNlPER, accusing Dillon of being a trafficker, garnered over 15,800 likes on August 17. In response, Dillon posted a screenshot of @JUNlPER’s posts, expressing his frustration, which received over 560 likes within two hours.
The “Seth Dillon Is Involved In Child Trafficking” t-shirt serves as a creative means to highlight the trolling posts surrounding Seth Dillon and his stance on the Mississippi girl’s case.
