Reddit just posted an announcement that Challenor was fired around the time you posted this -

Yeah, I think I actually beat the announcement by a few minutes lol. Pretty cool timing.

Thanks for the link.

That was a hysterical read. Virtually every other post was some version of "fuck off".

How is it that you didn't adequately vet your employees but you heavily monitored and removed discussion surrounding them on your site?

One great point

Did you never once question why they were being discussed? You don't get to just sweep this one under the rug.

So they admit to knowing that this person was being discussed, but are claiming they never knew why? Sounds like bullshit to me Spez.

My best guess is they were swapping pedo material with one of the trans mods (or someone in admin) and used that connection to get the job.

Lots of bitching about the way he and his husband got women only subs banned, and justifiable concern over their modding kids subs.

Hopefully this will lessen the toxicity of the trans community on Reddit by a fair bit.

The claim about vetting is a lie. There are tons of troons in the reddit admin ranks. They knew about Aimee's past scandals.

Anyone on r/gendercynical knew because they always bitched about any posts about Aimee long before the ban wave.

I begrudgingly went to urban dictionary for that word, expecting to want to vomit. Instead, I got a good laugh.

I don't repeat clownworld nonsense, otherwise I'd add that vulgarity to my repertoire.

I was curious what UrbanDictionary said, and none of them really define it accurately, which is unsurprising when you consider how the site has been going woke for the past few years. Notice how none of the definitions assume the premise that some "trans women" are really just deluded, damaged, or entitled men. You can't really define "troon" without acknowledging that, which is a problem, because on UrbanDictionary you are no longer allowed to acknowledge that.
