SJWs now turn to a new meme: "Grow Up" (Reddit-related)
Posted on 7/14/15 at 5:48 pm

But not from reddit!
oh fyi, this is all about the reddit CEO stepping down after fricking shite the frick up
for shits and giggles, let's look at the last line of the first quote: if you have to go 4chan to make the same stale jokes about the holocaust, you are no less free than you were the day before
doesn't teh same logic apply to gay couples who go to a bakery who refuses to bake a cake for them? just as you're free to engage in commerce found offensive by the property owner providing goods/services, you're free to engage in your commerce found offensive by the property owner providing a forum for discussion online. this isn't an issue of freedom; it's an issue of substitution
now if you disagree with the gay/bakery case then that's fine. you're free to. but by that logic reddit users shoudl be free to disagree with the choices and regulations of reddit's ownership and management. same exact concept.

This is Reddit’s political reality: an aristocracy of the crass. Conde Nast, Y-Combinator, Snoop Dogg, Alexis Ohanian—all the people who’ve built and invested in Reddit are just figureheads and potential TechCrunch Disrupt panelists; emperors to the toxic praetorian guard of the men’s rights-Gamergate axis.
To this increasingly vocal coterie, anything resembling compromise away from adolescent male white mores is seen as the fascistic social justice agenda. Never mind that no one is being asked to do anything more than grow up: fricking grow up, you don’t really need giant jiggling breasts in your Xbox games. fricking grow up, it’s obnoxious, boring and lazy to make fun of obese strangers. And fricking grow up: if you have to go 4chan to make the same stale jokes about the holocaust, you are no less free than you were the day before.

To the site’s super-dedicated core, an overwhelmingly male group of very vocal power-users whose understanding of progressive politics is limited to the idea that their pirated ecchi torrents have just as much a right to bandwidth as Netflix, few things are more offensive than being told what to do by a woman. And when harassment was banned and their fat-hating subreddit was shut down, they plugged their ears and screamed and stomped and spammed swastikas until they got their way. (It obviously didn’t hurt that their way also happened to align with the interests of the site’s founders.)
So Ellen Pao’s first mistake might have been thinking she could ever actually lead Reddit. But Reddit can’t even be governed by the white guys who founded it, let alone by an Asian American woman who’d fought a highly public court battle over gender discrimination. The truth is that no one can run Reddit, because Reddit already has a boss: A organized, malignant band of the adolescent and adolescent-at-heart, ready to topple any would-be savior who attempts to clean house.

This author needs heavy medication.

Definitely would have lost money betting on the gender of the author of this one.

i ain't reading all that. I just go to reddit for /funny and /wtf

It's one thing to disagree with something. The chick was getting death threats. I don't think anyone on either side of GayCakeGate would feel the owners deserved death threats.

And got her arse handed to her in court.
Why don't they mention that bitch lost, and lost badly?

because they have power, and it's not just the outward message. comments like this:

show the absolute horror of this group
"compromise" to them begins outright banning of things chosen to be offensive and any hesitation to outright ban something results in insult
that's not compromise and the insidious nature in which this group works involves slowly changing the meaning of words (in true postmodern fashion) so that they can claim a logical/moral point. their absurdity needs to be consistently pointed out

I think people got offended that reddit's CEO was forced to step down for being offended and started fricking everything up

if you are involved in something that may become somewhat popular on the internet, you'll get death threats
i've had serious threats made to me all the time
the wise philosopher taylor swift has a great saying in response: "shake it off"

They got them, but not from the couple that they didn't serve. The CEO of Reddit got death threats from users of the very site she was the head of.

Post thread about memes.
Puts no memes in OP.
BRB, using imagination since no pics.
