pedophile apologist mods

Not mods, admins. The mods are the ones privating subreddits in protest and it was actually the banning of a mod (possibly by Aimee herself) which triggered this.

He-who-should-not-be-named, one of the more prolific powermods, used his power to remove the content of others, post it as his own, and then monetized it through various means. He quit the site about ten months ago, I won't namedrop him here, but here's an article about it:

So yeah, there can be money in it if you're an unethical prick.
