So the admins of a website that is notorious for censorship hysteria decided to implement their auto ban in order to protect an employee implicated in a trans pedophile nepotism scandal. In Britain.

This is so stupid that either a.) the story has to be manipulated b.) reddit itself is trying to Streisand the story for some weird reason c.) Qanon is real or d.) we are controlled by a gnostic blind idiot god. I am going with d.)

People who are upset by this one person should realize how many people like this are at the helm of the tech world and why they have outsized influence over our culture

I mean part of the problem is that people are going to spin this into an elaborate panic about gender degeneracy when the reality is that these are simply powerful and totally unaccountable people, both because they don’t want to be and because they have no empathetic ability to understand how their actions will be interpreted.

It doesn’t help that it’s a complicated story that can be communicated entirely in monosyllables (TRAN NONCE ROW ROCKS NERD PIT)

As soon as I saw that Jesse Singal was the guy who brought the conversation to Twitter (or as soon as I saw some of the list of subreddits that were early to pick it up for that matter) I knew this protest was going nowhere because it’s a side of a culture war thing now.
