Members telephant Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 It even says the guy moderated the forum making sure nothing illegal was posted. We should be patting this guy on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they seemed to be grilling him pretty hard over the nude teen pics that were already posted elsewhere. Especially funny since you know the interviewer spends just as much time looking at nude teens online as any other dude. Says something about our priorities in this country. Dead kids, not cool. Nude teens? WTF? ARE YOU INSANE?! SOMEBODY MIGHT SEE A BOOBIE!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ron Burgandy Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yeah, there are thousands of people posting legal pics of nude or semi nude girls. No problem there, since the girls obviously were too dumb to keep them private. There's a reason gawker outed this dude, out of all those thousands of people. Maybe I'm wrong and read incorrectly. I was under the impression he had a whole racket going and had his hands in various questionable things. Most notable to me was the part where he'd troll legitimate topics with pics of dead kids or whatever else would infuriate people. He just also happened to post nudes on his own forums. Again, if that is not the case then I take it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nightflameauto Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 I don't really know anything beyond the first three-quarters or so of the video. He's a dickhead, for sure. And probably a legit {censored}. And now he's whining about the impact this has had on him and his family, so clearly he still doesn't get that he did anything wrong. I'm surely not defending the dude. I'm just confused why the interviewer went ballistic over nudes. That seemed to be the least offensive thing this dude did. Consequently, that's where I clicked the vid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron Burgandy Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 Anderson Cooper is a bitch, no argument there. If this dude was just posting off color jokes in contained forums and nude pics then I was wrong and take back what I said. Not sure how that would qualify him as a troll but... What I read of his actions painted him as quite a bit more hateful and malicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members telephant Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 The pics were not nude. They were sexually suggestive. Basically teens in sexual poses. You guys obviously don't get how reddit works. He wasn't trolling. He started entire subforums based on those topics. People enjoyed them AND contributed to them.

Members nightflameauto Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 You're probably right Ricky. I just sort of flipped at puritanical pop media standards being applied to anything on the internet.This guy's definitely a raging dick. I'd just like to see him grilled for the things he did that were legitimately offensive, as opposed to, "WHAT IF THAT WAS MY DAUGHTER IN HER UNDERWEAR?!" Tell your {censored}ing daughter to stop taking pics of herself in her underwear?EDIT: I've also never spent any time on reddit, so don't know anything about how it works. Nor do I particularly care to. I waste enough time online as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically teens in sexual poses. You guys obviously don't get how reddit works. He wasn't trolling. He started entire subforums based on those topics. People enjoyed them AND contributed to them. I never claimed to know how reddit works. If there are so many people that look for pictures of teens in suggestive poses then I don't know what to say. Other people supporting disgusting {censored} doesn't make it right. Hitler, dead kids, racism... Just because other people find it funny or entertaining doesn't make it ok in my book. Encouraging people to take hidden pics of people is also not cool. Besides, it's not like he was arrested. Someone just did the same thing to him. They exposed him the way he exposed things. He didn't have a problem with the creepshots subforum. How is exposing people against their wishes any different than what happened to him? If what he was doing was so awesome then why was he fired?

Members Cougar Hunter Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 FWIW, lots of stuff that actually IS awesome will also get you fired.I don't think the guy is very upset about being exposed. It's not like he was arrested. He didn't HAVE to do the interview. I think he likes the attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron Burgandy Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 Then win/win for him Either way, reddit can just pretend someone took a spy camera shot of him and exposed him. It's just the Internet, right? Lulz and such were had at violentacrez expense, much like he's done over the years. Hell, gawker should just say they were trolling reddit and trying to take it over. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members telephant Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 What he did wasn't awesome, it's sad and super geeky, but he didn't hurt anyone or do anything illegal. The fact this is considered news is also rather sad. That said, Gawker sucks while Reddit is one of the best websites around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
