FACT-CHECK: Bardfinn claims that he doesn't use alt accounts on Reddit... but then who's behind the /u/PennyOaken and /u/MutabileSemper alt accounts?

If you don't want to watch the full Livestream, the part about BimboPolitic/HypnoTransgirl/EphraelStern starts here. You will notice how this individual has plainly been trained by Bardfinn in the infiltration and taking over of subreddits. Just like Bardfinn, Bimbo is threatening to put people on a secret blacklist of wrongthinkers. All those leftists on Reddit thought the League Trolls would never come for them, but now that everyone who isn't woke has been driven off of Reddit, the League Trolls are targeting large leftwing subreddits like /r/anti-work, accusing them of facilitating "extremist entryism", which classic Bardfinn terminology and was the very excuse originally used by the League Trolls to get Reddit to suspend rightwing subreddits. You will notice that in the above video, they only mention Bimbo's involvement with /r/ContraPoints, but they do not disclose Bimbo's involvement with other /r/ContraPoints moderators Merari01 and Bardfinn, themselves notorious League Trolls. If only they had been paying attention when we tried to warn them about the League Trolls...

r/AgainstAHS has been banned from Reddit This subreddit was banned due to being unmoderated.

Spotted_Lady · 2021-11-25T11:20:21+00:00

That is the thing. Transsexuals and transgender are not the same, no matter how much liars in the media and the LGBT community (that true transsexuals are not a part of) want to tell you. So anyone who says a person born feeling the other from age 4 and who wants complete transition with HRT and surgery is not the same as crossdressers, gender variant, "women" with penises (that they are proud of), non-binary, etc., are seen as being hateful.

Genuine transsexuals tend to be more likely to be right-wing, hyper-religious, homophobic, or even white nationalist than transgenders. It seems that those in power saw this and created transgenders to dilute the influence of actual transsexuals.

The only good thing I see some out of the transgender community is that a lot fewer non-transsexuals are getting the surgery. There is no overwhelming social advantage to do so now, leaving the surgery more to those who personally feel they must have it for internal reasons, not social advantage.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-10-27T18:35:09+00:00

Gee, I wonder why the AHSers are so obsessed with taking down FDS. Perhaps because they all are to be considered ZVM by FDSers' "Ruthless Strategist" dating-standards? Cry harder, leftwing incels.

So that's what Steven Akins aka Bardfinn aka Penny Oaken is spending money on, rather than paying his child support.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-10-11T00:00:35+00:00

@reddit has the same problem; AHS found posts in Hindi advocating violent uprisings against Muslims in India, that went unactioned by Reddit AEO despite being re-escalated after hiring a translator out of our pocket.

https://twitter.com/PennyOaken/status/1445385103644020739

We file reports on hybrid Hindi-English comments and posts which express hatred towards Muslims, or women, or gender & sexual minorities, only to see the reports returned as not violating - or never closed at all. Similar for Slavic language violations.

https://twitter.com/PennyOaken/status/1445387436805304323

Gee, I thought Bardfinn knew all the languages, what does he need to hire a translator for? Besides, if you're not Hindu or a Slav, WTF are you even doing going over to their subreddits? I guess this means he actually has managed to kick all the wrongthinkers off of Reddit and now he is desperately trying to find a new group of Redditors to target to make himself useful.

AHS is one of 3 subs we flag on work computers for employees. It hasn't failed us yet. edit: politics and topmindsofreddit are the other 2. We'll look at the employee's other social media accounts. Those 3 subs are usually indicative of trouble makers that are derelict in their own duties. Very easy to replace troublemakers if you catch them early, before they start stealing or harassing coworkers etc etc.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-09-26T17:59:12+00:00

It infuriates AHS that they can't get FDS banned.

Of course AHS hate FDS. All FDS does is warn women against dating mentally ill losers like the ones who populate AHS, but they just don't use the t-word, they say "scrotes" and include the AHS losers in that category by definition. It's genius really. Isn't Bardfinn the very definition of what FDS calls a "ZVM"? Of course he hates them and wants to shut them down. Not saying I agree with what gets posted on FDS, some of their dating advice is quite ridiculous - like telling 16-18 year old girls "If he doesn't propose marriage within a year of dating he's not for real so dump him", come on now - but I commend them for pissing off AHS.

LMAO. I call them "The Cabal" because of picking up the phrase from Reddit, but yours is more fun.

That's a term from this podcast, where they interviewed Bardfinn, Drewiepoodle and the late T_Dumbford.

Maybe I saw the photo of him and Drewie in the past, I dunno

Nika Dyen was the transwoman next to Drewiepoodle in those Instagram pictures of Drewiepoodle at Reddit's HQ. Nika Dyen is the one who brought the League Trolls to Reddit's attention, was the one who invited them to Reddit's HQ to talk about their censorship campaign and is most likely the one who has their backs behind the scenes, making sure the League Trolls never get banned no matter how brazenly they violate the ToS. Nika Dyen is the Internal Communications Manager at Reddit.

That's unsubstantiated. Very much in contrast with what we know as facts about him. This guy threw away his family like they were garbage, by his own actions. Now he's trooned out.

When did AHS/Bardfinn target /r/FemaleDatingStrategy? Can you link me to something about this?

There's too many, honestly. I did message the FDS mods a couple times in the past to let them know when AHS posted, before I realized they were already on top of it and monitoring. AHS revised their rules recently to pretend like they aren't so obsessed and focused on certain subs ... made it so users can only post about a sub a week and things like that. Here's a couple searches to help you start digging through all the past stuff though:

AHS really really really doesn't like how FDS mods have Reddit Admins by the balls. FDS has already expressed (on Twitter, if I remember right) that they have no qualms about going to the press the second they get banned, and they've had good press already. It infuriates AHS that they can't get FDS banned. And that delights me, even though I'm not an FDS user.

The League Trolls

LMAO. I call them "The Cabal" because of picking up the phrase from Reddit, but yours is more fun.

Nika Dyen

That's a name I haven't heard yet, thanks! I'll certainly go down the rabbit hole! I know about Drewie and others, didn't know this person is the ringleader though. Something about Nika's face looks familiar, I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I saw the photo of him and Drewie in the past, I dunno.

/r/detrans weren't "temp-banned", they were literally HIJACKED by Bardfinn while the moderators were asleep. He literally cyberstalked all their moderators to find out when they went to sleep and made his move during those specific hours. That's how obsessed of a creepy cyberstalker he is.

They were temp-banned the same day/time my main sub was, LGBDropTheT, on July 10th 2020. One of my co-mods was keeping track: https://archive.ph/qN2tk.

EDIT: I started to type a sentence and give a link, and fucked it up while deleting and tryping, haha. Adding:

https://saidit.net/s/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/5cb0/campaigns_to_get_subreddits_banned_for_hate_then/

He TRIED to hijack it during the few hours the other mods were asleep, but failed. Here's a post I made about it with some archives, if you're interested. I have no doubt that the only reason r/detrans was reinstated is because some very well-known and influential people on Twitter immediately started tweeting about it and nearly made it go viral within those few hours.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-08-31T01:13:39+00:00

I've seen a few vague threats here-and-there, like when r/detrans got temp-banned

All the times Bardfinn has been hate-mongering against /r/detrans

r/Detrans is operated by transmisics and platforms anti-science transmisic propaganda, as well as offering bad advice regarding the medical nature of detransition (Their advice should be limited to "Find a qualified physician and follow their guidance", while respecting the detransitioner's privacy).

https://www.reddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/dbudfd/rhomophobes_is_banned/f26396e/

/u/Bardfinn and /r/GenderCynical are hating on /r/detrans once again:

TERFs: "I am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me?"

https://www.reddit.com/r/GenderCynical/comments/db85rv/someone_maybe_a_sub_for_detransitioning_should_be/

And another thing: AFAIK /r/detrans weren't "temp-banned", they were literally HIJACKED by Bardfinn while the moderators were asleep. He literally cyberstalked all their moderators to find out when they went to sleep and made his move during those specific hours. That's how obsessed of a creepy cyberstalker he is.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-08-31T01:03:58+00:00

Bardfinn shows up to share his armchair psychobabble profile of his opponents:

They are dysfunctional, broken, pitiful half-beings, who cannot feel love, and cannot experience / know what it is to be loved.

LMAO, look who's talking! Bardfinn himself is an unemployed mentally-ill violent pervert who openly sexualizes his legal procedure against his ex-wife in order to mock it. I am pretty convinced the trooning is just part of his lawfaring against his ex-wife at this point. He trooned out, then he went into court and said: "I can't afford to give $200 a month to my son, I need the money for titty-skittles.". In reality, Reddit's self-appointed Nazi-hunter is just a worthless, drug-addicted, alcoholic waste of space and oxygen of a repeat felon, who can't even contribute to the rearing of his own child in any meaningful way. Such a worthless asshole has to convince himself that everyone else is immensly worse than he is to continue to feel good about himself. Bardfinn's smugness and arrogance will never make way for reality. Bardfinn is an unrepentant irredeemable scumbag who only accuses everyone else of being Nazis because it's the only way he can continue to feel morally superior to everyone else.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-08-31T00:52:54+00:00

I've seen a few vague threats here-and-there, like when r/detrans got temp-banned or when r/FemaleDatingStrategy was close ... but those were specific subs fighting for themselves.

When did AHS/Bardfinn target /r/FemaleDatingStrategy? Can you link me to something about this?

Why isn't there a deep dive into Reddit Admins, and their support of subs like AHS and mods/users, who are cultivating a culture of harassment against anyone they disagree with?

We already know who's behind bringing the League Trolls to Reddit and covering up for them. It's not one of the Admins, rather it's a Yale graduate by the name of "Nika Dyen" who is himself trans and is the "internal communications manager" at Reddit. You can look him up on Linkedin if you want. The League Trolls are protected by Reddit because of their association to Nika Dyen. There are pictures on Instagram and Twitter of Drewiepoodle at Reddit's HQ with Nika Dyen interviewing Drewiepoodle about his "activities" on the platform with the League Trolls.

exentrico · 2021-08-28T03:05:20+00:00

Lack of child support, not lack of child support legal troubles, to make the title clearer. Bardfinn has plenty of child support legal troubles.

exentrico · 2021-08-22T18:50:30+00:00

I especially enjoy Im-Probably-Drinking's response:

The comment you are replying to has absolutely nothing to do with what you've brought up. Why did you bring some other sub into the conversation? That has nothing to do with how moderators do or don't need support.

The state of California, where Reddit headquarters reside, recognizes sexual orientation as a legally protected class against discrimination. Which sexual orientations are or are not identities or vulnerabilities, now?

Why are you interrogating and harassing a user for being a member of a legally protected class instead of addressing the website issues presented? You're violating Reddit sitewide rules, and bordering on breaking state laws.

You are not a federal employee, and never will be due to your own life choices. You do not make determinations on behalf of the US criminal justice system of who or what is a hate group, and no one on Reddit cares either.

Stay in your lane, little Penny.

Go fuck yourself, Steven Joel Akins / Penelope "Penny" Verity Oaken / Bardfinn / Penny Witchette / Finning Widget / MutabileSemper.

TumbleweedFireflies · 2021-08-21T09:26:11+00:00

Originally, there was r/TrueTrannies, which was fairly active for a small sub of maybe a thousand members. TT started getting overrun with spam, and the mod/creator was absent, so users broke off into their own subs ... r/Transmedical and r/Truscum.

r/Truscum took off because it was the first created and advertised, and the term "truscum" strikes a nerve among trans people who are being excised from their own community by radical activists.

Both believe you have to have dysphoria to be trans, and dysphoria is a medical condition - the reasons can vary though, even among their users. Generally speaking, dysphoria is believed to either be a mental health issue or a biological issue (brain/body mismatch), and typically transition is the cure. They don't all believe you have to transition though, because again, medical condition. ... not all medical conditions get cured, some are just accepted and lived with.

AHS and Reddit believe whatever you identify as is real, and dysphoria and medical conditions are not necessary (and may even be ableism or hate speech). They hate r/Truscum because it exposes their lies and deception. That sub will be banned the moment they can find even a slight reason, and believe me, AHS tries to invent reasons whenever they can.

Disgusting.

You know, not banning the Donald was in the interest of Anti hate activists. If it's on reddit it can be controlled, censored etc. People tolerated that much more than you'd expect. AHS would've had a bone to chew on, and the 'trumptards' would've been neutered if they played their cards right.

Instead they went overboard, treating TD like a step child and then they made a .win now they can say all kinds of bad words and mean things and AHS can't do anything. It was in the interest of spez though, he sure as shit didn't want it on his website because he doesnt have many advertisers even now, and with negative media attention due to td, he would've had even fewer and couldn't have monetized the site.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-06-17T00:21:41+00:00

The judgment acknowledges the national discussion about sex and gender that has taken place over recent years as the “transgender debate”. The era of “No Debate” around sex and gender, if it ever existed, is over. In the course of this national discussion, many Gender Critical people – overwhelmingly women – have been the subject of personal abuse, threats, the loss of jobs and livelihoods and even physical assault. This has been referred to as occurring on “both sides” of the discussion. But it is difficult to find evidence that equal apportionment has in fact occurred: overwhelmingly it appears that Gender Critical women have borne the brunt of it. Those women now have their legal protections affirmed at law.

Much of this vitriol has been inflicted on a false assumption that it is somehow liberal, progressive or enlightened to do so, and that it is justified because it is in furtherance of rights for trans people. The judgment is explicit that a rejection of Gender Theory – or even the questioning of it – is not in conflict with the legal rights of trans people.

Even organisations who do not consider themselves engaged in this debate need carefully to inspect their actions and policies to determine whether they have become institutionally discriminatory towards those who dissent from Gender Theory. The Scottish government has a range of policies, starting with the pending hate crime legislation, which need to reviewed. National police forces – some of whom have been taking the names of people who express Gender Critical thought and “checking their thinking” for signs of potential “hate crime” will now wish to consider whether any of this data is lawfully held and what their statistics actually and meaningfully represent. (...) Social media platforms ought urgently to take advice on whether they are impermissibly suppressing European speech and thought with a Californian scold’s bridle.

These catastrophisations arise from the reflex of defining people with whom we disagree as fundamentally immoral for not sharing our views. Sonia Sodha in the Observer wrote of the “naivety … of childishly dividing the world into goodies and baddies”. We are good because our values are good. Our opponents are bad because they do not have our values. Our opponents are thus immoral. Once we strip our opponents of any morality, we deny them of the right to be respected, and we can then impose any immoral act on them with immunity from any moral assessment of our actions. We excuse ourselves for awful things that we do.

This judgment, as fundamentally significant as it is for questions of sex and gender, is therefore perhaps of broader significance still. By potentially re-asserting the principles of protected speech and belief, by reminding us of the necessity for respect for those with whom we disagree, by removing the crutch of moral naivety and by denying the legitimacy of catastrophisations - perhaps this is a blueprint for applying 20th century human rights principles to 21st century political debate.

Read the full verdict here

If Bardfinn is keeping a secret database of European GCs, while insisting that he supposedly has to do this because these people are fascists and Natsees (as Bardfinn has repeatedly argued in long posts saying that TERFs are indistinguishable from Natsees) just for being GC, he is now arguably committing defamation against all these people and violating their right to free speech by urging Reddit to ban them on the basis of the lie that GC speech is akin to a hate-crime. which it clearly isn't. If Reddit is, to use Bardfinn's beloved terms, aiding and abetting him with defaming GC people who are definitely not Natsees or fascists but merely disagree with his fucking stupid delusional gender bullshit, they too are answerable for censoring all these European GC people engaged in protected speech.

Here are a couple of Bardfinns megaposts on Reddit about how TERFs are a literal fascist Natsee cult:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GenderCynical/comments/at7jae/its_like_they_joined_a_very_powerful_cult/egzaa5m/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

If you go and look at my previous posts in this sub, you can find the post where I linked to Bardfinn's series of longass rants on Reddit where he explained that TERFs are indistinguishable from Neo-Nazis and that gender critical feminism is a, quote, "fascist white supremacist colonialist ideology". The UK court clearly begs to differ.

Not that Bardfinn cares much about dating RL women IRL, because Bardfinn's Second Life avatar "PennyWidget" is in a lesbian relationship with another Second Life avatar called "Skye". It's a really hot lesbian love story, judging by the Twitter account that Bardfinn maintains for "PennyWidget":

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-05-14T22:33:21+00:00

You can try contacting the moderators of those subreddits and inform them about their options. Most moderators on Reddit are young and are very unfamiliar with the reporting process or they are intimidated by it because they don't know how to word their complaint in a way that will lead to it being taken seriously by Reddit Admins. Bardfinn, who has been on Reddit since forever, is very familiar with which channels to use to report which violation, and this is something he uses to his advantage. He has openly admitted to filing hundreds of reports every single day.

Don't worry about it, people are reading it, they are just not logging into Saidit itself to do so. There are a lot of people lurking here without making an account. My posts here have even been linked to from Reddit itself. I suspect one of the reasons AHS is currently trying to get /r/Saidit banned on Reddit is because they know people are reading my posts on Reddit and want to stop them from doing so. Reddit doesn't want their users to know that their resident content cop is a literal criminal.

I had the idea of directing people to posting "Daycare Dropoff" posts here in the stickied Discussion / Organising post - it would increase the traffic here, and provide a space for people to examine, discuss, and go about reporting stuff like short / buried comment threads in r/news, for example, or smaller subreddits that are perhaps not wholly hate subreddits, etc.

I also think that will take a dedicated team of moderators to handle the "shallow end of the pool" that would create. https://www.reddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/lv8m5d/community_discussion_organising_post/gphqkmu/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Someone with a Reddit account reading this, please reach out to /r/news and let them know Bardfinn and AHS are gunning for them next. Send them the above link to reddit.zendesk.com and offer to teach them how to submit a moderator complaint.

In fact, every time you see Bardfinn targeting some haless Redditor in the comments, holding their posting history against them, that is evidence of him following that user around and is a violation of Reddit rules. Reach out to that user (who is most likely young and doesn't know how to or even that they can file a complaint) and offer to teach them how to report Bardfinn. Bardfinn is extremely experienced and organized, and is using these much younger users' inexperience against them. We need to start educating all these newbies on Reddit.

I have no idea whether they knew one another before Reddit. All I know is that Bardfinn has admitted talking to spez personally once in a single post. As far as I know that was his only public admission that he knows spez personally, but AFAIK he has never disclosed how they originally got to meet.

exentrico · 2021-04-10T15:31:10+00:00

He is definitely misusing the API and other information and I think he is not the only one.

Does anyone know whether spez and Bardfinn knew each other before Reddit? That is my suspicion, that they were already friends or former co-workers or something like that. If not spez then someone else formerly or currently very high up in Reddit must have known Bardfinn in real life, otherwise I don't know why Reddit would put up with Bardfinn's stunts.

"I don't know how a sub of snowflakes have gained so much power and influence"

If you go back and read some of my posts in this sub you will see exactly how this happened. Bardfinn claims he knows and speaks to Reddit's CEO. Bardfinn's group of SJW vigilantes, The League of Extraordinary Trolls, were invited to Reddit HQs by one of Reddit's trans employees. It's all nepotism.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-04-05T23:40:38+00:00

"And I infiltrated the private discords and backroom subreddits", alright, so he openly admits he's literally a fucking cyberstalker.

"There's been death and bomb threats -- my local police bomb squad has had to clear my property because of the bomb threats.", I bet this never even happened.

"it's that they're the kinds of people we saw storming the Capitol on January 6th (and some of them might have been in the insurrection)", oh really, all these people were at the Capitol? When a majority of Redditors aren't actually even American? Bardfinn is public about the fact that after the last Reddit purge when most of the subreddits on his blacklist got banned, he has since moved on to targeting foreign language subreddits, so he damn well knows the people he's targeting now aren't even Americans.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-02-02T22:16:13+00:00

There has been a lot of speculation over the years as to whether he's secretly working under the table for Reddit, especially in the context of his statements about knowing Reddit's CEO u/spez personally. Nothing definitive though. I personally think that Reddit are keeping him around because he is doing a lot of work for free that they would otherwise have to hire and pay people to do. Also, the fact that he's keeping a secret blacklist database of Reddit wrongthinkers means that he gets to break international privacy laws, instead of Reddit themselves. Thus, if anyone ever ends up asking any pointed questions - about this nut who falsely claims to be "a retired scientist" doing supposed "research" on Reddit, while profiling Redditors without any prior notice or consent - Reddit can always decide to throw Bardfinn under the bus then, while they still get off the hook scot-free. Reddit can throw their hands up and lie that they didn't know what the League of Extraordinary Trolls were doing on their site, when they knew all along exactly what was happening.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-01-20T06:13:50+00:00

I'm thinking Bardfinn has some kind of high-end position there, as how else could this person do all of this without losing the position they have?

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-01-09T23:04:07+00:00

It's amazing to me how Reddit are ignoring this. He is literally violating their own stated rules, not just by abusing his access to the API to trawl entire subreddits. There is the question of notice and consent. When people log into Reddit, they consent to Reddit themselves using their data. They do not consent to unofficial third parties like Bardfinn secretly politically profiling them behind their backs. If anyone was made a-priori aware of this happening, no one in their right mind would ever agree to use Reddit ever again. It is therefore pattently unacceptable that Reddit never warned users about this happening and never took steps to make it stop. Then there is the very high likelihood that by secretly trawling Redditors' data and using it in such a blatantly abusive manner behind their backs - using people's posts to get them pre-emptively banned across the site is arguably a form of abuse - he is literally violating international privacy laws. To give you an actual example of such an international privacy law that comes into play, in Europe they have a law, the GDPR, which says that you cannot log and use a European internet user's data online without prior notice given and consent obtained, which Bardfinn of course has never bothered to obtain from all the European Redditors he's secretly data-mining and blacklisting for the purpose of getting them banned site-wide. If you look at some of my other posts here in the sub, you will see the one where Bardfinn asked Reddit to allow him to use subreddits as honeypots in order to get all the wrongthinkers in one place so that it's like shooting fish in a barrel, which would constitute outrageous deception and abuse even by Reddit standards. Reddit are aware of these laws, they know he's breaking the law and they just don't care. I guess it's because he's doing work for them they'd otherwise have to do themselves, and they're happy that this zealot with no life is taking all this excess work onto him. But Reddit are thus aware of the fact that they are aiding and abetting him in violating international privacy laws like the GDPR, which makes them complicit IMO.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-01-09T22:49:31+00:00

He doesn't have a life, that's why he was able to make himself indepensable to Reddit. He's effectively an unpaid moderator at this point, he openly bragged about how Reddit's hate-categories are identical to the ones he's already using himself (because he and Reddit are obviously coordinating behind the scenes, they just don't want this to be known). IRL, he's lost every job he's had (claims it was due to "burn out" but if it was because he was trying to make his workplace go "woke" like he's doing on Reddit, we all know the real reason he's jobless now), been divorced twice, been hospitalized for mental illness twice by his own admission. He claims to have multiple mental illnesses including agoraphobia, so he doesn't even leave his house. He sits there all day obsessively trawling Reddit and blacklisting all the natsees. It's mentally ill people with no families, no work and no lives like him that obsess over petty crap like that.

akkordeonplayer · 2020-12-26T23:53:09+00:00

I remember when I was naive and thought Reddit higher ups would give a damn about this, and I mentioned how he bragged about data mining people. Nothing ever happened, though, as he's obviously still on a banning and stalking spree.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2020-10-26T19:07:42+00:00

It's actually more like this:

Innocent Reddit newbie: "I had no idea there was a subreddit called /r/AgainstHateSubreddits which is full of hateful obsessed far leftists who want to turn Reddit from a non-partisan forum into a far leftist insurrectionist forum. I am shocked to learn that such a subreddit even exists. Why on earth does Reddit allow a group of self-appointed vigilantes to dictate the public discourse on Reddit? Apparently there's this crazy guy called Bardfinn who thinks he's a chick and he goes around profiling conservative Redditors as "far right neonazis" in some secret blacklist database he maintains. It's crazy that Reddit is allowing this. I should let other people on Reddit know this is happening."

AHS/QAH/League of Extraordinary Trolls/Masstagger: "Everyone, move to the Discord channel at once so we can discuss our next brigade outside of Reddit's jurisdiction to cover up our malicious acts." (Once they're all on Discord:) "Let's add this Reddit newbie who figured us out to the Masstagger blacklist as a confirmed white supremacist neonazi and get them pre-emptively banned across entire sections of Reddit before they've even uttered a single word there. Let's downvote everything they've ever posted and falsely report all their posts to the moderators in order to floor their mod queues and hassle them with superfluous reports. Bardfinn has already sent his 30 page detailed CIA dossier from his secret blacklist database to the Reddit admins to get this clueless newbie banned forever."

Also Reddit newbie: Has a 3-6 months old account with 4 pro-GOP comments in /r/politics and /r/conservative, has perhaps spontaneously called someone a "faggot" in the midst of a heated debate in /r/politics that ended up getting locked by the moderators anyway for generally turning into a huge flamewar with everyone chiming in swearing and cussing at one another over Urgent but Divisive Political Topic Of The Day XYZ or Bombshell Political Leaked Documents PQR, and has upvoted maybe 15 posts in /r/pewdiepie or /r/drama that are genuinely funny and are only considered "hateful" by extremely easily triggered SJWs. Does not even know what the term "brigading" means, but has noticed that his karma count suddently went down after the above flamewar on /r/politics. He's not sure why this is happening but suspects someone or some group of people must be onto him because they are still sour about the thread getting locked.

Reddit Admins: "Oh, it's another 30+ report from Bardfinn. We don't actually have the time to read it but we better ban this new user immediately because Bardfinn actually knows Steve, and anyone that knows Steve personally gets the clientelist approach here on Reddit. We wouldn't want to lose such a useful idiot doing for free what we would otherwise have to pay people to do for us. Oh no, Bardfinn is definitely not receiving any payment from us, and we definitely never asked him to create a secret database of Redditors being politically profiled behind their backs."

Not gonna lie, I wish the DoJ would criminally indict Reddit too and interrogate them about Bardfinn's secret wrongthinker blacklist database and his admitted personal ties to Steve Huffman.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2020-08-31T22:36:48+00:00

Someone on Ruqqus responds to Bardfinn's claims that the AHS whistleblower video and evidence shown therein was faked by Neo-Nazis:

ISaidWhatISaid · 2020-08-27T17:06:16+00:00

Background: Bardfinn has long had a fixation on what's known as the "Karpman Drama Triangle" which is a drama analysis variation on the psychological concept of drama triangles. Stephen Karpman, the member of the Screen Actors Guild who wrote the article introducing his theory, basically intended the Karpman triangle to be used to aid actors and screenwriters in script drama analysis, but Bardfinn is using it outside of that very specific and context context for scripted performative interactions. Bardfinn rather uses it as an explanation for everything and everyone that's bad and triggers him on the internet. Joseph Paul Watson shows another drama triangle in his video, which is closer to the way Bardfinn himself uses the Karpman triangle to accuse random people of being Nazis on Reddit so that he doesn't have to consider their criticisms of his actions. Bardfinn has posted dozens of times on Reddit about the "Karpman Drama Triangle", but I think it was mostly projection on his part. Here are some examples of such posts - keep in mind there are dozens more, Bardfinn will literally mention the "Karpman Drama Triangle" in a post at least once every month:

Karpman Drama Triangle, which describes the psychodramatic roles of Saviour (Rescuer), Victim, and Persecutor (Oppressor). So-called "Social Justice Warriors" are criticised because they behave in such a way as to play out one or more of these roles, while pushing others into playing out one or more of these roles, sometimes against their will. By this dynamic, TheFappeners, GamerGaters, FatPeopleHaters, and PaoHaters can all be classed as Social Justice Warriors.

https://www.reddit.com/r/self/comments/3cil1m/a_history_of_whining_about_censorship_by_reddit/csvwi87/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

TIL the Karpman Drama Triangle is a model of some personal interactions between people who do not take responsibility for their own feelings. The roles are "Victim", "Persecutor", and "Rescuer".

https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/39gtz9/til_the_karpman_drama_triangle_is_a_model_of_some/

The covert purpose for each player, and the reason the situation endures, is that each gets their unspoken (and frequently unconscious) psychological wishes/needs met in a manner they feel justified, without having to acknowledge the broader dysfunction or harm done in the situation as a whole.

As such, each player is acting upon their own selfish needs, rather than acting in a genuinely responsible or altruistic manner.

Thus a character might "ordinarily come on like a plaintive victim; it is now clear that she can switch into the role of Persecutor — providing it is 'accidental' and she apologises for it".

https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/39gtz9/til_the_karpman_drama_triangle_is_a_model_of_some/cs3830f/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

The people on that website aren't TERFs. They're just Internet trolls. They engage in a practice described by a psychologist named Karpman — whose description survives as the Karpman Drama Triangle, describing dysfunctional psychodramatic dynamics.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GenderCynical/comments/6sa4lk/a_possible_terf_uploaded_a_picture_of_me_to_an/dlb9um3/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

They employ the Karpman Drama Triangle dynamic. It's simple and effective, and many people are unconscious to it until it's pointed out.

https://old.reddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/fdwsfl/repicairconditioning_has_been_banned/

Both societies (the "female" Fempire and the "male" The_Donald) both heavily utilise Karpman Drama Triangle psychodynamics in order to drive their purpose narratives and engage their cultural participants. The Fempire tends to avoid the Saviour dynamic on a grand scale, however, for many reasons.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/6gaame/why_do_the_look_at_this_idiotstyle_subs_tend_to/dipehtv/

Narcs are synonymous with martyr complexes, or rather with Karpman Drama Triangles. They need to play a role in a drama to have meaning to their lives, either as Persecutor, or Victim, or Saviour.

https://www.reddit.com/r/raisedbynarcissists/comments/5i07ma/question_dae_have_an_nparent_with_a_martyr_complex/

That said: This kind of thing is predicted by model — they're acting out a Karpman Drama Triangle psychodynamic, and got out their Victim phase this morning; This is their Saviour phase. Churn churn churn drama.

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/6c1mm8/fuck_you_all_were_going_to_voat_you_cucks_one/

That they are looking to dance a Karpman Drama Triangle swingdance — That they wish to play the Victim (the "cross dressing biological men in the women's restroom must be perverts there to rape" narrative) and the Oppressor (Peak Trans threads) and the Rescuer ("Think of the Children!")

https://www.reddit.com/r/GenderCynical/comments/6shehm/g_c_oversimplifies_news_article_to_make_parents/

You likely wish to educate yourself about the Karpman Drama Triangle. The things you have written lead me to believe that you are looking for (a) dance partner(s), and/or are seeking psychotherapy for your own emotional difficulties of dealing with a culture that isn't your own.

Strawmanning and DARVO - typical abuser techniques. They're also pretty deep into the Karpman Drama Triangle Persecutor-Victim-Rescuer dysfunctional dynamic, too. If Reddit isn't shuttering that subreddit, they should be.

Bardfinn is so obsessed with using the Karpman Triangle as an explanation for everything that triggers him that he has even written poetry on Twitter where he mentioned the Karpman Drama Triangle:

I am awake

Listening to a calm, gentle voice

Instructing me to focus on the sensation of relaxation

Instead I am drawn unbidden into rage against the machine

The Karpmann drama triangle

the cycle of samsara

The clowns will eat me

https://twitter.com/PennyOaken/status/946352497043607552

In the context of Bardfinn's habitual, pathological lying, it is Bardfinn himself who is the very embodiment of the narcissist as described in JPW's video as someone who triangulates at every opportunity and engages in online witchhunts based on nothing but hysteria and spurious accusations.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2020-08-24T20:22:01+00:00

Not that /r/AgainstHateSubreddits would never seriously consider classifying an author widely read and worshipped by trannies themselves as an incorrigible racist who must be purged from the history books, the literary canon and human memory itself.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2020-08-20T20:49:42+00:00

Here's another example of Bardfinn inventing byzantine formatting rules for ban appeals, then using people's failure to comply with his deliberately complex rules as an excuse to ignore their appeals:

Then, if the person responds with something other than a properly formatted, appeal, I escalate to:

This does not appear to be a properly formatted appeal.

Actually, no, I think my least favorite part is knowing that there is a human being out there who spent this much time and effort to create a ban-appeal-rejection "form" on an internet forum, and considers it relevant. It's actually really, really fucking sad to me.

Don't feel sorry for Bardfinn, he voluntairly does this.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2020-08-17T21:18:40+00:00

Bardfinn's full name is Steven Joel Akins, not Steven L. Akins. The middle letter is a J, not an L. So it was clearly a case of mistaken identity and people stumbling across that SPLC page that led to them thinking that he's the same pedo described in that article. Though, with his passionate defense of incest, I have to wonder what impression Bardfinn thought he was going to make with Redditors.

LiterarilyHonkler · 2020-08-16T23:33:13+00:00

Steven L Akins

JL

To me, that screams swirl-face pedo-grade opsec.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2020-08-16T14:36:24+00:00

Bardfinn insists he hates pedophiles, so how did his enemies on Reddit end up accusing him of the unspeakable?

In response to Bardfinn's claims that Neo-Nazis on Reddit are falsely accusing him of being a pedophile and have called LE on him (Bardfinn insists that he hates pedophiles, on Twitter he even claimed to have once been abducted by a pedophile himself as a kid), here's what I think happened. I really don't think people are deliberately trying to slander him or frame him, I suspect they are sincerely confused because of a case of mistaken identity:

Bardfinn censored so many people on Reddit that they got mad and got together to research him
They found his IRL name online - because, again, he was public about who he was to the mainstream media and his name has been in the public domain for years, this was NOT doxxing like he himself falsely claims - and decided to do more research into him because of his claims of being a Nazi hunter for 30 years.
They found that SPLC webpage about "Steven L Akins" posting on far right forums, and wrongly assumed this was Bardfinn because the name is similar. Note: Bardfinn's middle name is Steven JOEL Akins, so it's Steven J Akins, not Steven L Akins like the guy on the SPLC page. I guess this is how people initially got confused.
The SPLC webpage talks about Steven L Akins posting in favour of pedophilia ("old enough to drive, old enough to ride") on far right forums. In the context of Bardfinn's bizarre pro-incest rant on Reddit, it makes sense that people, already confused by the similarity in name, concluded Steven L Akins must be Bardfinn. They must've assumed that Bardfinn was arguing in favour of incest on Reddit the same way this Steven L Akins guy was arguing in favour of pedophilia on far right forums.
When the AHS whistleblower posted their video to Youtube claiming that he was asked to plant CP on subreddits that AHS wanted manipulate Reddit Admins into taking down, this video only confirmed people's suspicions that Bardfinn was an unsavoury individual. The AHS whistleblower does not conclusively prove but suggests that it was Bardfinn himself who wink-wink suggested to him that he should plant CP on enemy subreddits of AHS. On the basis of this inconclusive evidence, Redditors concluded that Bardfinn is in possession of CP that he uses to plant onto enemy subreddits of AHS to create an excuse for Reddit Admins to take them down. But the AHS whistleblower's video does not provide any hard evidence for this claim of AHS planting CP onto enemy subreddits, the whistleblower merely said that this activity was "wink-wink" alluded to by those running the Discord server that AHS was using to organize brigades of enemy subreddits.

If the AHS whistleblower of the Youtube video is reading this, I implore you to provide additional evidence for your claims. It's not that I personally disbelieve you - I myself certainly consider AHS corrupt enough to resort to planting CP on enemy subreddits just to create an excuse for their suspension - it's that you need to provide more evidence than what you've shown in the video to make your claims more credible. AHS are already claiming that you Photoshopped the screengrabs you showed in your video, so please come out with additional evidence (like the extent of your involvement with AHS) if you have any.

Oh, there is no doubt in my mind that he's some kind of pathological liar, just wait and see the rest of his claims that I and others tried to fact-check. I just wanted to be open to all possibilities. If there is a patent out there let's see it. I don't actually expect there to be one but who knows.

he will obsess over bots instead?

Maybe, but this was some 3-4 months ago

Reddit honestly love what he's doing

Sure they do, they love that he's making reddit more advertiser friendly, getting rid of 'problematic' subs and collecting user data as you days. But imagine you're a reddit employee and there's this guy who keeps reporting/PMing you about being harassed every other comment he recieves. It's annoying, so What do you do, suspend everyone who he reports about? That would get rid of too many users besides looking at his unhinged personality he probably reports innocuous things to the admins too. So it's hard to take each of his reports seriously. That was my point.

Opentagger

Holy shit I gotta read up on that.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2020-07-20T18:13:26+00:00

Perhaps now that Reddit has fulfilled his shitlist of subreddits he wanted to see gone, he will obsess over bots instead? He openly admits he has OCD so he has to find something new to obsess over, maybe this will be it.

I think reddit administration must be pretty sick of him crying REEE because even though I got a message for harassment, I didn't get suspended even temporarily.

I don't think so, I think Reddit honestly love what he's doing because he is violating international laws by data-mining and politically profiling Reddit users behind their backs with no prior consent obtained (at least the EU ones amongst them, but he has no way of knowing which user is what) but if he wasn't doing this "industrialized cyberstalking" for Reddit, they would have to do it themselves, and they unlike him have to obtain prior permission. (Unless all the rumours I've heard about him being paid under the table by Reddit to do this are true, but I personally haven't see any credible evidence for these rumours.)

Seems like only they are allowed to make shit like massfagger

Whatever happened to OpenTagger? It was supposed to be an open version of Masstagger, in a use-their-own-weapons-against-them kind of way.

It is probably boring lol, but here goes. I visited his account page and saw he was bitching a lot about something that wasn't a subreddit. After a while, I got the picture: there was some bot who showed some statistic about any account, and apparently bardfinn was upset because the bot was being used by le Nazis to harass him. He wanted the owner to take the bot down unless owner adds an ignore option to the bot - u/polcompbot was the name.

Think about it: a bot which shows info about a user's history and nothing else, being used for harassment! It's like you being harassed by having the nwordcountbot being called on you again and again!

So I said all this to him throwing some choice words. Of course he said I was harassing him. I think reddit administration must be pretty sick of him crying REEE because even though I got a message for harassment, I didn't get suspended even temporarily.

Btw I caught the man doing the exact same thing again. Seems like only they are allowed to make shit like massfagger.

The amount of destruction he and his /r/AgainstHateSubreddits minions have committed all over Reddit is for the internet history books. I already know about him targeting /r/detrans, I know that Bardfinn hates both /r/detrans mods Helena and Ben/GNC_centric to the bone. A 46 year old man obsessively hating on two 20 year old young women like he does is rather creepy actually. Don't even get me started on his intent to secretly data-mine and profile every single Reddit user who has ever used a subreddit he doesn't like. I wonder what he will do now that Reddit have deleted most of the subreddits he long wanted to see gone. I really don't think he will go back to being a regular redditor. I believe he will just obsess over a whole new set of subreddits whom he will falsely accuse of being Nazis and white supremacists. BTW, I see there's already an /r/detrans mirror here: https://saidit.net/s/detrans Their mods obviously made sure to create a mirror here because they know he's not going to leave them alone. He won't rest until /r/detrans is gone as well. They should all just move over here already. No point on remaining on Reddit with this ghoulish vulture encircling the sub waiting for the right moment to strike. It's a war of attrition where obsessed zealots like him have the upperhand because everyone else has lives away from Reddit and doesn't have the time to obsess the way he does. He's literally like the guy at the casino stuck to the slot machine.

It's not limited to just reddit though

The splc has connections to various other groups with influence over tech

And AHS gets referenced as an authority on "hate" by msm quite a bit, including washingtonpost

Anyways I see value in organizing high quality info on them

Man, I don't know. Imo we shouldn't care that much about ahs - seeing as most of us are done with reddit now. The job of caring too much about what legal shit people post online is for the ahs jannies. Have you seen their sidebar "we only care about reddit, anything else can go fuck itself" well if you read between the lines, it's a massive cope - cope of the fact that they will never be able to censor the world wide web as a whole. Why care about something everyone will forget about an a few years. Of course if they are in possession of illegal stuff they must be brought to justice, but otherwise who cares. Btw this is coming from someone who still misses r/coomer.

We should do it like Stack Exchange: anything off-topic is only permitted in comments, but extended comment conversations get moved to chat, which gets frozen and/or deleted at some point.
