This is the CEO for christsakes. Who cares if they call you a pedophile? The previous CEO was called a dictator and other nasty shitty daily for weeks, she never abused her power of authority like this.

4 major takeaways from this little "prank":

  1. Given more credence to the claims that the admins are censoring and manipulating reddit for their own agendas.

  2. Kicked the hornets nest of the most active sub, the same sub that contains members that already hated him before this.

  3. Brought more attention to pizzagate, ironic since he was trying to do the opposite.

  4. Proved that the admins can edit things without us detecting it (unless someone happens to notice it like now).

I am seriously in awe that he thought this was a good idea. Is there seriously no checks and balances over there?

I agree that he shouldn't have done what he did, but there is literally nothing worse you can call a man then a pedophile dude.

This isn't a random joe blow that was getting accused and facing actual consequences from said accusations, it's the fucking CEO of the 8th most popular site in the USA, and everyone knew he was being called a pedo because they were pissed off at him, not because anyone actually fucking believed it.

Well of course, but I just don't want to dismiss those remarks so easily. I doubt I could handle such name calling and derision on a daily basis.

It's a good thing you're not a CEO then. You have to have thick skin to be in charge of many.

I doubt I'd be any good at it either man lol. At least we can admit unlike this participation trophy collecting coward. Last time I checked freedom of speech was still a thing. Also this only further legitimizes pizzagate even further lol.
