And I here I thought nothing could be worse than 4chan.
How horribly wrong I was.
And give you a gold-plated bobblehead.And I here I thought nothing could be worse than 4chan.On reddit, if you post child porn or creep shots of nonconsenting girls you meet in public, then the admins will give you your own subreddit and make you the moderator.
How horribly wrong I was.
What was he outed for? Sorry about all the questions, I've never used Reddit or Gawker.
Either way I dont agree with them releasing his identity.
To be honest, I don't really care that he made a subreddit on rape jokes. Seems kinda like a ArsonMurderandJaywalking punchline.
Child Porn. Dead Children. Rape Jokes.(click to show/hide)
I don't like the concept of outing this, if what he was doing was illegal (dunno about american law), gawker should have contacted the authorities.The way I see it, all those poor girls whose upskirt pictures (and god knows what else) were posted on Reddit had their identities unfairly plastered online--all while he hid behind an anonymous handle. I don't feel sorry for him in the least. I'm glad he was outed and glad he was fired.
If it was not illegal, then fuck you gawker. Either way I dont agree with them releasing his identity.
You people are aware this guy created r/Jailbait and various other subreddits dedicated to taking pictures of underage girls, that's 17-13, and plastering them all over Reddit? This guy was a creep of the creepiest creepy order. Him losing his job doesn't cause me to shed one tear. If anything he should be in jail for the distribution of child pornography.
Ironbite-guy creeps me out and the fact that people defend him creeps me out further.

The creepy interests aren't the problem. It's the fact that he's posting pictures of people online without their consent. That in itself is a violation of privacy. Then of course there were the up skirt photos of under age girls, which I believe should speak for itself.Of all the horrible communities that are not entirely focused on heinous subjects, like 4chan and The TVTropes Forums,Wait, what's wrong with TVTropes?
Am I the only one who doesn't see the big deal? Sure, he seems to have some creepy interests.

The argument that a lot of Redditors have been using to defend him has been "well, if they didn't want their pictures on the Internet, then they shouldn't have put them [on Facebook/whatever] in the first place." Another argument has been that they're exercising freedom of speech and that it's perfectly legal to take photos of girls in bikinis without their permission.
I'm going to say that it is deliciously ironic that they are now crying foul when those same arguments are coming back to bite them in the ass.Of all the horrible communities that are not entirely focused on heinous subjects, like 4chan and The TVTropes Forums,Wait, what's wrong with TVTropes?
Yeah. I can see the problem with Reddit and 4chan, but... TVTropes?

TVTropes is fine as long as you stay far away from the forums and the Troper Tales pages.
As is child porn. Deal with it.Clothed teenage girls are not child porn.

Nah, the rest of the site is shit, too, especially the example pages.

Like what? I love the site, never had an issue with it.
I'll put it this way, I read over it to see which articles have been deleted and added over time. It's fun watching the puritanical over reaction to random accusations.Like what?

Fun note: At one point, I was actually considering advertising my site via Reddit.
Now, I'm not so sure. =S
I'm in the minority here, but Reddit is one of my favorite sites. I rarely encounter sexism, racism, etc. It's probably because there are only a few subreddits I really go to.To add to that, most subreddits self-police; admins usually take a very hands-off approach to moderation, which partially lead to the whole trouble with free speech. So its the Mods which have the power to turn the place into a shithole or a place where constructive discussion can take place. If the mod is someone like ViolentAcres, you know what to expect. And usually, with significant exceptions, each subreddit leaves the other alone.
I've never heard of this guy either.QuoteFun note: At one point, I was actually considering advertising my site via Reddit.

As I said, I like Reddit. It's just a site with a bunch of people. Some subreddits are better than others.
