It’s really hard to fathom why a violent paedophile would have developed software to silence women who raised safeguarding concerns.

ArabellaScott · 24/03/2021 21:46

I have a reference to it on Glinner's deleted Twitter, I'm afraid! But it's referenced on another site.

I'll dm you a link.

And this week I had to deal with emails from a known sex offender who included Reddit pictures of naked young women with self harm scars! But that's okay Hmm

TomorrowIsAnotherDae · 24/03/2021 21:49

And my guess is that some of the young women in his email aren't aware that their photos are available on Reddit...

Monkey- yes. I think as the pp says it was about GG with the attic door prominent.

I seem to remember something about ? friends or family or something going after the victim on SM of course people who knew the family etc knew who she was.

It's all on the old threads if they still exist.

SunsetBeetch · 24/03/2021 22:12

DrEm is so good.

PotholeHellhole · 24/03/2021 22:38

For the attic picture, go to Fair Play for Women's facebook post, 26th September 2018.

Ugh supremely creepy given all the other information about AC, husband and father that the couple apparently play kids game, among us and ACs reddit name reflects this. You can chat on that. These people should be nowhere near any children.

Crikey. AskReddit board right now.

AC does not come across as particularly enigmatic or a particularly skilled orator. So, quite why Aimee has managed to be in so MANY positions of influence is, well, peculiar.

Oof.

SunsetBeetch · 24/03/2021 23:01
Lots of people in the replies are not impressed with the way it's been handled.
CrossPurposes · 24/03/2021 23:04

Fave comment so far on the firing: "you didn't like, google her name first?"

LemonSwan · 24/03/2021 23:24

In their statement -

*we’ll be evolving a number of relevant internal policies.

We did not operate to our own standards here. We will do our best to do better for you.*

I hope this is the case. I used to really love Reddit as it is an excellent resource for all manner of general and niche topics.

I hope as they are making moves to list as a public company that they sort out their hiring and user security.

I know I had a bad experience and that is pretty unique but when I was just searching online to check I was correct they were listing; the top google searches are..

  1. Is reddit down
  2. Is reddit safe
  3. Is reddit free

I think that says alot.

Good luck reddit. May the force be with those fighting the dark side :)

NiceGerbil · 24/03/2021 23:30

Is someone else getting AC into these roles, to do ??? and sees them as essentially a pawn?

This keeps happening with this individual.

I'm no conspiracy theorist but it's just so unlikely.

nauticant · 24/03/2021 23:34

Reddit found Challenor to be a potentially useful addition to their brand then dumped them with the folly of this became apparent. What a grim business this has all been.

LemonSwan · 25/03/2021 00:11

Oh no.

According to the chatter (I have no proof whatsoever and not clicking anything to find it) - the husband (the 'fanfiction' writer) mods r/lgbt_KidsZone, r/transgenderteens, r/actuallesbians, and r/LGBT

and also someone else saying apparently r/hypnocaptions which is NSFW and very rapey - again no evidence so may be gossip

This whole thing is one hell of a rabbit hole

Cwenthryth · 25/03/2021 00:17

Oh dear, how sad, never mind

found a few saying things along the lines of “had to read about it on Mumsnet of all places”

Haha glad to be of service, Redditors!

And we’ve managed to discuss this with only 3 deletions on a 245 post thread (so far).

I knew we were the grown ups.

Btw my “oh dear how sad” sarcasm was about the firing, not following LemonSwans post about the husband’s subs! Unfortunate Xpost

If you go to those sub reddits on the right hand side you can see who the mods are. I only checked the Kids LGBT one - which at the top proclaims "FOR THE CHILDREN" - and the pedo-fantasising husband is indeed a mod.

This is exactly what I can't get my head around.

Even Challenor being trans and thus adding a diversity element does not explain how someone so publicly toxic keeps failing upwards into ever more influential organisations. What the fuck is going on.

Imagine if you or I - or even your gardens variety MTF - had the kind of Google history that Challenor does. We wouldn't get employed in a fast food restaurant let alone two political parties and one of the world's largest social media platforms.
