Yep - she's been the CEO since last year. And in 2011 her husband Buddy Fletcher screwed 3 Louisiana pension funds out of $144 million dollars when they asked for their money out of the hedge fund he created and managed and he said "Oopsie! Don't have it!" The fund declared bankruptcy.
SJW who is in charge of reddit. Wants to create more "safe spaces" for people. Got rid of a bunch of subs that hurt people's feelings. The social justice warrior takeover has begun.
I enjoy talking down to people who think they're engaging in some righteous cause. SJW or anti sjw, it's all good. Currently, the antis are in the lead for level of annoyance.
Yeah MAAAAANNNN! I should definitely pick a camp because this shit is IMPORTANT, MAAAANNNN. I mean, the only time I hear about sjws is when anti sjws whine and post about it. On the other hand, the anti sjws are really pointing a finger at the SJW HYPOCRITES!! AND IF THEY DON'T DO IT WHO WILL!??!?
It doesn't sound trivial when you frame it like this is the battle of Valley Forge, but really it's about the CEO of a website that doesn't like some of the content on their own website. Free speech can be had anywhere. Someone could start a site like reddit and post all the fat, gay, race hate they want. There probably already is one. Bunch of fucking chicken littles running around crying about the sky falling.
Listen man, most O&A fans are dumb as fuck. I mean, you're mostly right but the fact that your picking this place to argue the point is pretty fucking stupid. Let it go
She is a buffoon. Her lawsuit couldn't have gone worse. Every legal move she is making is the opposite of what she should be doing. Who is advising this woman?
I spent about 15 minutes reading up on her and her husband this morning. They are very litigious, and have supposedly wracked up 40 million in legal fees spread around their lawsuits.
Her husband is a hedgefund manager, whose hedgefund has gone bankrupt and who had a 10 year relationship with a dude before he married Ellen. He is suing The Dakota (John Lennon's old apartment building) for racism (aka denying his attempt to purchase a 5th apartment in the building based on the financial information he provided, probably had something to do with his bankrupt hedgefund and other civil lawsuits).
The great thing is his Dakota lawsuit basically caused his hedge fund to collapse. He wanted to buy a 5th apartment, The Dakota looked at his financials and said, umm, no. He sued and The Dakota filed affadavits that they didn't trust his hedge funds financial statements. This caused 3 Louisiana pension funds to request their $144 million from his fund, which he didn't have - he supposedly had $555m under management, but that turned out to be a lie. I have no idea why he was never arrested.
Shes the representative figurehead, shes the one writing these announcements, shes the one that took the job of the face of reddit. Our disdain is channeled through her. You think organizing people against a bunch of shareholders is anywhere near as easy as targetting the one dickhead? It really doesnt hurt that she has these false sexism claims and is the embodiment of SJW.
Agreed. She's like Philip Green from Casino; a yes-man with a fancy title who does what they're told. If she becomes too much of a liability, she'll get replaced by someone else who'll perform the same function and continue with the "new direction" or whatever. That's not in defense of her, it just seems a lot of the Pao-backlash misses the point.

He also happened to be in a relationship with a man before he married her, which is a strange turnaround
18 RonsCigarBJJ 2015-06-18
No it isnt, take a look at her.

He also played the race card and sued his employer for "discrimination". Just like Chairman Pao

You shouldn't. The anti-sjw army always needs a reason to be upset. This one is almost out of steam.

Remove anti and you've got yourself an accurate statement

Yeah the fight over free expression is trivial, you're right.
-7 Bick_Bickerson 2015-06-18
Yeah, because reddit is the last bastion of freedom of speech, dipshit.

You can't make a sarcastic inference from a sarcastic inference, faggot.

Ellen is a strong independent perpetually oppressed minority. I suspect she will rise above this baseless extortion. I support her until the end.

For fuck's sake, if you're really that mad about this, take it up with Condé Nast and the other multi-million dollar shareholders. They're the ones forging the "new direction" of Reddit, Pao is just the corporate drone who does their bidding. You people really sound like total rubes sometimes.
