The Shit Reddit Says Ministry of Free Speech would like to welcome the newest Femperial Gynquisitor to the Reddit Admin Team, /u/808sandhotcakes!

For a quick overview of what happened, a """rapper""" that appears to be in contact with Reddit, and therefore their new celebrity liason, had some videos removed from /r/videos and 808s modmailed to ask what's going on. The mods there sit on the modmail for a month and then throw a huge temper tantrum when 808s was trying to communicate with them (and even coordinate a Hangouts chat). You can see the whole log here: http://imgur.com/a/OFQRm

Videos mod is a dick, justifyably annoyed 808s uses the word "mansplain," reddit loses its collective shit. As this is still happening, please use this thread to collect the pile of ragetears and beardmad from this event.

EDIT: Great thread from our Femperial Allies at /r/circlebroke about the beginnings of this from yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/circlebroke/comments/3prg6s/introducing_reddits_new_head_of_talent/

EDIT2: Another great comment from Femperial Sister Subreddit /r/SubredditDrama giving a bit of a background on this drama. Spoilers: shitty whiny white dude is trying to play professional victim. https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/3px98p/your_horrible_punctuation_makes_me_want_to_kick_a/cwa9wd0

Some speech is just too free for /r/KotakuInAction!

a "professional" wouldn't use the term "mansplain" [ 172] ... A Professional Victim would! [ 195]

Fuck it. From this day forth I'm a woman on the internet. No more disagreeing with me, okay? [ 163]

From this day forward, everyone on the internet is a TERF. Stop harassing women on the internet, you transtrender patriarchal shitlord. [ 16]

Anyone who uses "mansplaining" in a professional setting should instantly be fired. [ 238]

All these gratuitous tumblrkina buzzwords have triggered me, CONGRATS tumblrkina. [ 38]

[a whole lot of whining about how the new admin used the words social justice once] [ 254]

As was pointed out in the other thread as well, San Francisco, their mecca of stupidity lol [ 66]

This person is pretty fucking awful. I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with her bullshit. [ 29]

Ellen Pao specifically weeded out people from the hiring process of Reddit who she felt didn't accurately reflect her beliefs of social justice. 'Bad' opinions got you excluded. So, when? Never. Ellen poisoned the kool-aid and now they're all drinking it. [ 47]

Anyone using "mansplain" in a professional setting should be terminated immediately. That is fucking idiotic. [ 31]

And wouldn't you know, there's a whole other KiA thread with EVEN MORE CRYING!

Stop mansplaining to her, shitlord. [ 75]

Jesus, she actually used that UNironically. Everything has to be about your identity right... There's no way they where hostile because you where an admin.... No it must be because you've a vagina. Fuck me, that was a pathetic claim. [ 39]

Where does reddit hire these people from? On twitter? Facebook? Social media in general? I could understand that. But you can't pull the identity politics card when you only exist as an alphanumeric string - I mean shit, the mod who was 'mansplaining' could be a Trans-WOC with canadian headmates for all she knew. [ 59]

Not linking to it because it's doxy, but apparently she made Kim Kardashian's blog, which to the bozos of KiA is a count against her instead of like, the really prestigious shit that it is, especially for this line of work.

Shouldn't this be up everywhere? Now that Reddit has officially abandoned the meritocracy approach, there will only be more 3rd-wavers coming in to replace the functional cogs on "diversity" quotas or "patriarchy" quotas. [ 29]

This sounds like reddit has hired somebody to make sure the Blackout happens again. [ 28]

Oh wow, Reddit admin used the mansplain card. HAHAHAHAHA [ 55]

Remember, if you ever get called out for you lies or dodging the question. Just put your fingers in your ears and scream "MISOGYNY!" Your problems will just all go away. What a catastrophic fuck up, whoever thought replacing Victoria with this piece of work should feel real proud of themselves. [ 23]

I'm sure this is going well in other subreddits as well

Whenever someone uses the word "mansplain" I instantly assume they're a fucking retard. --edit-- Hi SRS, go fuck yourselves you pack of sycophantic creeps. [ 144] (This one was briefly submitted but was removed to consolidate this into one topic, but they get mad so easily!)

Good christ on a cracker. Triggered. But in all seriousness: this firing of a perfectly capable, and more fitted person for the job — and an SJW being hired — is how these folks operate. The AMA typing she did for Bill Murray was terrible, and she comes across as a condescending ass hole. The capability, skill and qualifications of the person don't matter; its if they are a minority, or some other protected group that's been declared by SJW's. Telling people she's here to attract SJW's is no surprise: Reddit seems to want dumb fucks who don't use ad block flocking here to talk about gender studies, take over communities and harass people off the site. The sooner people kick up a stink about this the better. [ 42]

Principal Victoria was replaced with PC Principal. Life imitates South Park. [ 111] It's shitty cartoons all the way down

Why are businesses hiring these people? They have literally 0 skills aside from being indoctrinated into the oppression olympics. [ 75] says a regular on a website wherein a bunch of cishet dudes talk about their dicks all goddamned day

Welcome To Reddit, New Admin! May you be guided by the light of BRD.
