Reddit turned into one giant transgender racket under her watch. A lot of us think she is a tranny herself. I was IP banned for taking on the reddit transgender cabal. Yet they all organized a dox brigade against me out in the open on /r/ask transgender and nothing happened to them. Thankfully they got the Wrong dox info on me.

The censorship has backfired. /r/Coontown has doubled in subscribers since the bannings last month.

She was just the scapegoat to implement all the shitty policies they made to leave the new CEO with a clean slate. It's a classic "blame it on Bush" tactic




What it seems like to me. I doubt they bring back fatpeoplehate and the other unpopular decisions that Pao made.

So is this an example of why promotions should be based on merit and not on gender?

Good. frick her. She was acting like a good little communist taking reddit down the shite hole. Good riddance.

I actually enjoyed fatpeoplehate and I'm sad to see it gone.

goodnight sweet Chairman Pao


Not a reddit user, but I did get chuckles from the nickname they gave her.

Second, redditors, you deserve clarity about what the content policy of reddit is going to be. The team will create guidelines to both preserve the integrity of reddit and to maintain reddit as the place where the most open and honest conversations with the entire world can happen.
Sounds like nothing changes.

The majority of males on reddit are betas who identify with the feminist movement. Think white guilt, but for men. Its really sad...

They weren't harassing him. He went to the sub and outed himself and bitched and complained about them posting pictures from imgur...a public site. And then he complained and it got shut down. They were just looking for a reason and they finally got one.



They were posting pictures on imgur and publishing them to the imgur community. If they had just hosted the pictures on imgur, there wouldn't have been a problem, but they were posting them to the imgur community which has fairly strict rules about controversial images, and so they were being deleted in accordance with the policy. Instead of just saying, "Oh yeah, sorry we're such dumbasses that we couldn't figure out the difference between hosting and image and publishing an image to the imgur community." they just freaked out even more and kept harassing the guy both on and off of reddit.

Ellen Pao or no Ellen Pao, the subreddit would have been banned for that. It's pretty telling that, when a man was the CEO of reddit, no one even knew who he was even when they made unpopular decisions such as banning certain subreddits, etc. But the same shite happens when there is a female interim CEO and suddenly she is 100% personally responsible for destroying reddit because of some perceived feminist agenda when she really wasn't doing anything different than the last guy.
