Just looked at the comments for this submission and I'm surprised that some people actually pointed out how wrong this post was. It's not enough to make up for the fact that almost 8000 people gave this a positive vote but it's something.

This seems to be the norm for Imgur nowadays. Racist poo poo gets a free ride to the front page, normal humans slam it in the comments for existing. Unless they can justify why those drat uppity blacks don't deserve respect or women are prudish whores!

Yup. I've always found it so interesting how there seem to be 2 different populations doing the voting and the commenting.

Also goddamn that post, how can you be that loving dense. I don't think he makes a single point that is not laughably wrong.

It's amazing how they can simultaneously have two different personalities fighting each other in the community at any given time. One that hates SJWs but likes tumblr dump posts, one that hates blacks but loves black twitter, 'Feminism is bad because look at this woman who did a bad thing!' also redheadMonday.'

This is all old stuff but I'm kinda just transferring stuff over here from other threads.

quote:

This is reddit's new/old CEO Ellen Pao. She's the person responsible for Victoria Taylor's termination. The trigger for this action was an AMA with Rev. Jesse Jackson. Reddit users are typically much better informed than the anchors of MSM networks so the questions were pretty tough. Jackson got called out for what he really is. The top question stated Jackson is “an immoral, hate-filled race baiter that has figured out how to manipulate the political system for your own gain.” Jackson was not prepared for hard questions and the AMA went badly, according to Pao. So Ms. Taylor was the scapegoat. You decide for yourself if her firing was justified. This may be the end of Chairman Pao's (what reddit calls her now) tenure as CEO. She recently raised controversy by shutting down some of the less politically correct subreddits.

They compared her to Hitler, by way of posting his office titled something along the lines of 'Chairman Pao's office probably' I can't remember the perfect wording.



Is any of that true?



The images are also links to the gallery, I would've done the same for the first one but it is seven times too fuckmongous for SA tables to not timg it.

The best part of Pao being fired is shortly afterwards, one of Reddit's former CEOs posted explaining that Pao had been the main reasoning that a lot of Reddit's hyper-racist/sexist/hate subreddits were kept open under the excuse of "free speech". Since she was fired, most of them have now been closed. :unsmigghh:

That's rad. I thought it was the fact that threads couldn't keep to themselves and went out to go harass people that got them axed.

Perestroika posted:

And of course the reason why Victoria Taylor was fired in the first place wasn't because of the "hard questions" against Sharpton (which pretty much amounted to "Can you tell me why you're a stupid doo doo-head who smells bad?"), but rather because there was a disagreement about changing the format of future AMAs to draw in more traffic. Which in turn was necessitated because Reddit has garnered a poo poo reputation that means that barely anybody wants to advertise with them anymore. The whole "story" is really just smug wank top to bottom.

Agreed. Don't get me wrong, the guy could legit be a damned fine president, but jesus, these fucks just latch onto whatever seems interesting or cool or whatevs, so they'll go right from libertarian up-and-comer Ron Paul right to socialist up-and-comer Bernie Sanders.

Plus, there's this whole deal about how the Black Lives Matter folks hijacked one of his rallies, which a perfect lead-in for a 'I'm not racist, but...'

Completely ignoring the part how some black people organized, were rude, and shock! Did something that made a noticeable change. Bernie added a platform on Racial Justice to his campaign. Certainly more work than they've ever done, bitching about Feminism not putting men's issues front and center because ':qqsay: If they want to be about equal rights, they have to put men's issues front and center even though we've known about these problems for years and decided it's too much work to actually do anything before women started getting uppity about things like 'equal pay' and 'slut shaming' and 'denying them the ability to have full control over their bodies like putting a fetus' life over theirs'

Isn't that ribbon trick one of the oldest? I heard even roman gangsters used to mark houses to rob.

It is a thing one of 'THE OTHER' has been seen doing and thus it must be sinister to get good God-fearing Christian people clutching their pearls. Hardened thug street-roving gangsters casing your houses and tying little bows in your fence with ribbons. This is a totally believable thing that they do. Obviously.



Seriously, why?

If the 140 character limit wasn't so small I'd link the fact that white-on-white deaths are pretty high on the list too. 93 to 84 in fact. Granted, that's from a 1990-2008 report on this but you can't get facts on this year when it hasn't even ended yet.
