Here’s a quick Reddit quiz. Take a look at these comments, found this afternoon on Reddit:
To whom are they directed?
a) A Redditor known as Help4Yew, long-time moderator of the Help4RapeVictims subreddit, who recently lost her job.
b) A Redditor by the name of CouchSurfer666, a guy trying to make a trip around the world sleeping on the couches of different Redditors, but who was injured while hiking in northern India and unable to afford a plane ticket back to the US.
c) The Redditor formerly known as Violentacrez, the man behind many of Reddit’s most notorious subreddits, including Jailbait, Chokeabitch, Niggerjailbait, Rapebait, Hitler, Jewmerica, Misogyny, and Incest, and who lost his job after Gawker revealed his real identity.
Do I even need to tell you the answer here?
It’s C, by the way. I made up the other two examples. There are threads soliciting donations in the following subreddits, among others: c1rclejerkers; c1rclejerkers again; ImGoingToHellForThis; mensrights; legalteens. (These are links to the threads, not the subreddits; don’t read the comments in c1rclejerkers if you want to retain any faith in humanity or at least Reddit.)
For more on Violentacrez, check out the media coverage linked to on the front page of SRS’s Redditbomb subreddit at the moment.
Fucking typical is all I can say.
I’ve never been prouder to count myself among The Enemy.
Fools and their money. They may as well donate to the Klan or some other morally reprehensible group while they’re at it.
Also: got-DAMN it stinks of 4chan in that thread. Repeat after me, kids: f** is a slur, not a suffix.
Oh. So they come together as a community to support Creepshots and Jailbait. How…community of them. Support the right to post creepshots of children.
There are just some days when I can’t handle this shit. The level of hate and dehumanizing is too much.
Oh, look! Baby bulldog. I am going to log off now. The hate is too much for me, but here’s the baby bulldog.
What’s circlebroke? I’m afraid to ask, yet compelled to know.
So what these guys are saying is that in their opinion the Reddit community is all about child porn and creepshots?
If one of us said that about them they’d be calling us evil misandrist bitches.
Bulldawwwgs are the cutest dawwwgs
Also the idea that only “cool kids” think that child porn and upskirt photos are bad things is…interesting. Maybe “cool kids” means “not immature enough to respond to criticism of illegal activity by saying haters gonna hate”.

@Falconer
Circlebroke is apparently the name for the thread/subject/something(?) and its called that because it’s part of the “circlejerkers” (or rather c1rclejerkers) subredditt. Now don’t ask me what circlejerkers is about because I can’t tell, the closest approximation is probably 4chan at its “lulziest”.
I really do think a lot of the people supporting VA are afraid they might be outed too. They are whistling past the graveyard as they make it a, “free speech”, and “right to privacy” issue.
It’s not as if, in his day job, he was a pillar of rectitude, and a force for good in the world. He worked for a payday loan company, he made things like this possible.
And, one of the other bêon;tes noir of the MRA has weighed in on the subject.
Gawker, reddit, free-speech: Whatever.
There was an article in The Age recently praising Reddit as some sort of wonderful alternative news source. Maybe it has those aspects, but the article just struck me as incredibly naive when Reddit is so full of this toxic, criminal shit.

When a payday loan company thinks you’re too sleazy to work for them, you are one sleazy mofo.
Most horrifying revelation: HE HAS A WIFE.
Shaenon, I think THE most horrifying revelation was the one about his step daughter.
Shaenon, I think it may be more accurate to say “He currently has a wife.”
I’m just going to believe that she had no idea what he did in his free time, because if I didn’t I might run out of otter videos.
According to the original article, his wife knew all about his activities on Reddit.
Yep. And she was actually a Redditor herself who’d Reddit alongside him while he posted his creepshots.
…I just…
Gods. A pair of predators.
Time for otters.

Unpaid Help, how did you know that that was the exact video I needed!? (Seriously, I’ve seen it many times before it and I was like… yep, need the otter swim lesson with banjo video.)
Feline Telepathy!
Actually I was just reacting to your comment about needing otter vids, and this seemed like a good one.
Cyber hugs if you want ’em …
People are outraged his outing cost him his job? What company would want him?
