It's even worse than this. When Pao stepped in, she changed the image of reddit completely.

Remember when reddit was anti-censorship? In the early days, that was the cornerstone of the website. No censorship. Yes, there were certainly questionable boards on reddit that the average person would find morally reprehensible. However, that's kind of the point of being against censorship. As long as nobody is directly harmed in the production of the content (such as in child pornography, which was always banned contrary to SRS lies), you have to accept the good with the bad. That's why blatantly racist or sexist boards like /r/coontown or /r/theredpill can exist. They're separated from the rest of reddit, so what's the harm?

Now, Pao doesn't want reddit to be anti-censorship. She wants reddit to accept certain messages, and refuse other messages. Who decides this? Well, since several moderators of large front page boards, and even administrators on reddit, are also mods/supporters of SRS, you can guess whose decision it will be for what is tolerated. It's also very telling that Pao sued her previous employer with a frivolous discrimination suit and still had the gall to say she's fighting for women's rights.

The standards on reddit are going to be absurd and make reddit appeal to a very vocal minority of the social justice types. Things like /r/coontown will be the first to go, but then what happens with boards like /r/MensRights (which SRS types slander as being a bunch of rape apologists) and /r/TumblrInAction? How long until people are getting banned from reddit for making completely non-inflammatory posts on /r/fatlogic or other boards of that type? Not long at all.

Right now they're treading carefully with baby steps--a shadowban here, a shadowban there, a mention of certain "questionable" boards every so often, a hint at what's to come as well--but reddit discussion will soon be unrecognizable from what it currently is.

I don't understand why people could not care about this and still support Pao's bullshit with gold purchases. Obviously it's not only SRS/SRD making all of the gold purchases. I just think a lot of users don't believe what's happening to the site now.
