tl;dr: Challenor out, 'wasn't vetted adequately'. Also tacitly admits that they found out a couple of weeks ago and they tried to cover it up by implementing automated "anti-doxxing" tools.

What do you want to do? Who do you want to be?

Additional info I've been tipped off to that may not be included in any of the linked threads: before becoming an admin, the person in question moderated subreddits specifically for teenaged audiences. I cannot link to proof of this because it uses their full name which reddit won't allow me to say, but it's from a well-known and reliable online newspaper.

Yet more info that I've been shown screenshots proving (out of respect for the person who showed me I cannot share them, unfortunately): as part of their duties as a reddit employee, the admin in question has been in charge of reviewing content for potential minor sexualization, and has explicitly refused to take down content containing sexualization of children. She then threatened to ban the user submitting the reports for "report abuse." Why does reddit allow this to happen? Is there literally zero oversight here?

Despite having millions and millions of users and visitors their frontpage keeps repeating the same three stories and memes. I wouldn't be surprised if this was literally reposted repeatedly since rage comic times.

The reddit comics are so bad, there's never anything resembling a setup or payoff. Sometimes you'll get one and not the other but mostly it's neither.

One positive change they have made is that if you browse ‘all’, no NSFW subs are displayed. Which means I don’t have to see that perv Grafo’s crappy cartoons any more.

I think it's mostly "funny" because the sociopaths cheering for it on reddit confirm the main "reddit has a lot of bad people and is thus itself bad" point of this thread.

Right, I think I was getting my here/there context wrong.
Over on the reddit side, I have no idea what the cartoon frame is about, but it seems to just be "haha someone finally gave a proper smackdown murder attempt to an annoying child".

I think I finally figured out why Skyrim by default won’t let you kill the kid-NPCs during the game. Even when they happen to be paying for bandits to attack you.

Edit: just making sure that folks don’t think I’m in favor of “child murder” as a concept; very interested in simply just “punching NPCs of all kinds,” though 😝

I think (hope?) you meant “just NOT exist in the game at all.” If this is the case I agree, as well as admit my son would play play Jedi Knight for hours on his days with me and his favorite activities included cheat-code spawning Stormtroopers and Lando off of cliffs into acid 500 ft down. He did spawn like 30 light-side AND dark-side Jedi in big spaces and then enable AI. The sound of thirty lightsabers igniting and then a murderball that sometimes took five minutes to watch the AI work it out was pretty darn fun, too!

He used to abuse the Annoying Fan in ES: Oblivion, too. And he was about the same age as AF at the time.

"Emo kids are still there but they are very political now. It was annoying when I was a teen, and they all tried to out- anarchist each other, but now it's like, 'Bobby is such a poser. He doesn't even read theory' (said by a kid who also does not read theory)."

"Most groups are football players, gamers, and horse girls."

"I would say the two groups that stand out to me are the new weebs and the ESL kids. New weebs are cool and dorky. The cool ones actually do other stuff, like sports or something but also love anime. Dorky ones only weeb all the time. The ESL kids have their own dorky and cool weeb groups that are essentially the same as above, but happen in Portuguese or Spanish. The ESL population is growing exponentially every year."

"Honestly, I just notice that there aren't as many of those types of groups compared to when I was in school during the '90s. The students seem more accepting and the barriers to entry into groups don't seem as fixed or harsh. The basketball star is into anime. The emo kids now listen to hip-hop. Country club kids are organizing social justice protests. It's just all over the place now."

"In my observation, the groups have just dissolved. It seems like people sort of just mingle with everyone. There are still the nerds, but they seem to be popular?"
