Didn't Reddit hire a child predator to moderate communities for children and then delete discussions about it because said moderator was trans? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aimee_Challenor

the predator was this person's father, not the person

This is also their partner's comments regarding attraction to children[0]

I'll save you the awfulness and just leave you with the damning "I fantasize about children having sex, sometimes with adults, sometimes with other children, sometimes kidnapped and forced into bad situations"

What's that saying again? "if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis."

What on EARTH possesses people to write things like that, and tie it to their real identity, no less? I fundamentally do not understand this phenomenon.

The Verge's Nilay Patel (editor in chief) did the exact same thing BTW. He also sent lawyers after youtubers when they dared mock him during the whole PC building fiasco.

Nilay Patel edited comments? That's crazy, do you have a link?

I got banned from the Verge quite a while ago for being a "troll/coordinated inauthentic behaviour", allegedly in favour of China or Iran. I live in Australia and am simply critical of the US consistently, while also occasionally being critical of countries like China I have no cultural ties to. Apparently that was enough for a ban there.

Still not a good look for Aimee.

> In August 2018, Knight's father David Challenor was sentenced to 22 years in prison for raping and torturing a 10-year-old girl *in the attic of the home shared by him, his wife Tina Challenor, and Knight*.

> Knight's recruitment of her father, despite her knowledge of the charges for 22 sexual offences, led to an investigation and Knight's suspension from the Green Party.

/u/spez is something else... Probably should be sued

his utility has almost run out. if he can push a hot mess of an IPO over the line, there will be assumptions that his fortune has improved. it may bring out some knives.

it'll bring out a golden parachute.
