I mean, dog whistles are a kind of euphemism by definition, and I've literally never seen anyone but Epstein in his emails use cheese pizza to directly mean CP or victims.
If you're seeing it that much as a casual euphemism you really need to ask yourself some questions about the people saying it and why you're hanging around them.
I heard edgy teenagers making jokes about it in highschool over a decade ago. It's not something I hear on a daily basis.
Literally the use of pizza imagery as code for pedo stuff was one of the central claims of the qanon pizza gate conspiracy. Seems like other than it not being in the basement of a pizza place with no basement they had most of it right, strangely enough.
I'd have to go back and look at the pizza gate stuff from that time. Because I also remember it wasn't just a conspiracy about child sex slaves, they also believed the elites were feeding on adrenochrome. I haven't kept up with the Epstein files and it's really difficult to keep up with what's sensationalized versus what's actually in there. The idea that Epstein and friends pushed the adrenochrome version of the story to cover the more grounded child sex ring version isn't too far fetched. It's so difficult to separate conspiracy theory from fact in this shit. Genuinely the worst timeline.
Probably a nod at the cyphers they use. could be acronym or key replacement?
Why would a random grafitti mural have anything deeper than a jab at the common use of the term cheese pizza for csam, and the whole pizzagate mess?
Bc if they use key shift cyphers they can say one thing and mean another, but it only looks one way. Its a fantastic and simple way to hide messages.
