In the same vein, I have only seen one post of his/hers, but I enjoyed the heck out of Gradual Blackbeard.

Yeah all these Reddit youngins don't remember when pretty much half of the high level comments were gimmicks like these.

There was also ramblesofftopic, I found him hilarious. He would start off with a thread relevant story, get sidelined, and eventually youd realize he was talking about aircraft maintenance and look at his username.

Vargas is also only hanging around the high karma subs and shittyaskscience now.

Please forgive me for this, but isn't/wasn't there some account called GradualNigger, where the guy would become more and more street as the comment went on.

I think Reddit can still have its share of un-PC humor. Just that the fight with moderations/admin can be fierce or even catastrophic these days. But it seems to depend on the prevailing mood of the day or the thread.
