TL;SDR: Read these Ellen Pao (reddit CEO) court docs instead of this comment, they are funny and strange

Read: Seven comment breakdown, cross referenced by year with lots of lulz

Reddit's CEO Ellen Pao under SEC/FBI investigation for her part in her husband's ponzi scheme - READ THESE COURT DOCS

Orig. comment moved below.
The current (before she is in prison) reddit joke CEO is Ellen Pao, as of a few weeks ago when Yishan Wong, (who personally hired her and put her forward for the CEO position, and has totally not had sex with her either, honest, he's married, she wouldn't do that) stepped down instantly without warning... and she was instated within the week. Unheard of.
Ellen Pao, a psychotic and entitled monster who is being investigated by the SEC and FBI along with her hubby for their role in a ponzi scheme ripping people off. Ellen Pao is fraudulently suing their previous employer to get some go-money as she is:
  • Bankrupt
  • Illiquid
  • In massive debt
  • Any other synonyms for fucked?
But, guess what? Order now and we'll throw in a pre-trial injunction that forbids the discussion of Ellen Pao's financial situation. Right. Because the fact that she has negative net worth and zero liquidity despite her charity position at reddit has no bearing on a $16M hail mary. (those gilds on this comment are literally paying for her lawyers' coffees... I le sigh).
While doing so she is taking every chance to shit on every woman who has truly suffered discrimination at their job.
Ellen Pao is trying to characterize a relationship she had while at the company as "almost" rape, saying she "succumbed to advances"... and "while it wasn't rape, it was consensual... not rape... did I say rape enough yet?":
  • She invited the guy out for dinner
  • she said he was her hero and his mind was amazing
  • she bought him chocolates
  • she admitted she loved him
    • wanted to marry him
    • wanted to have kids with him
  • FYI: She never said this was rape, in fact she has MANY MANY TIMES, said "it was not rape". You know. Like a suspicious number of times. Which is weird. She usually says it like "it was entirely consensual dot dot dot", or "it wasn't rape at all dot dot dot". Like, I don't know, there's something sinister and almost rapey about her having sex with someone if he didn't leave his wife for her afterwards. Or she just wants the words "not rape" and "wasn't non-consensual" on the jury's mind.
But, wait for it. They had sex... and you know what that means in her mind. Entitlement.
So it turns out HE DECIDED NOT TO LEAVE HIS WIFE FOR HER. Ellen Pao seduced (sorry, succumbed to the advances of, and clearly someone who cannot make their own sober decisions about which dick to suck, needs to be a CEO. I know many (many) women who are capable of saying no to sucking dick (someone hold me...)) and screwed a married guy at work, then got antsy when he didn't leave his wife.
Wait... but that can't be true, I just said she didn't have sex with Yishan Wong, because he's married and... wait. Just to be clear *moves mic closer* Yishan Wong did not have sexual relations with Ellen Pao. Allegedly. I mean.

The current Reddit CEO Ellen Pao totally did not have sex with the last Reddit CEO Yishan Wong, just making that clear in case anyone else reads between the lines and gets the wrong idea, ALSO Ellen Pao DID NOT RAPE Yishan Wong. I know I probably shouldn't even bring it up, but I just want to be clear on that.

She didn't rape him, but you see the effect first hand now. Seriously though guys, this rumor should not get out of hand. It's probably salubrious and prophylactic just to casually mention that Ellen Pao did not rape Yishan Wong to get the CEO position. I mean, let's nip this rumor in the bud, before it spreads. Let's get ahead of it.
Edit: I've heard rumors that huffingtonpost is going to run the rape allegation story, that seems a bit unfair, we really shouldn't let this get out of hand.
She also did not promise him a cut of her "winnings" of $16,000,000 if he stepped down his reddit position (poorly paid one at that) and vie for ten years salary payment from her instead, by making her a "CEO", although a joke title here at le reddits, it looks good for her case.
oooooh snap! *Maury-I am not the father dance*
So when he decided not to leave his wife for her after a brief fling, she is on record showing she spent FIVE YEARS deliberately trying to stir shit up, how much shit? Literally 200,000 pieces of paper. She's trying to win the old hail-mary sue my company by a sheer volume of attack, combined with five years of only keeping emails and parts of reply chains that gave a context to her being "shunned". She goads people and tries her damnedest to cause conflict to get it on record. AND FAILS!
So she thinks that she has 200,000 throws of the dice to win this case. It doesn't work that way.
  1. She was paid MORE than her male colleagues
  2. Given the best mentorship, guidance and coaching from the most reknown and expensive coaches
  3. She had hundreds of complaints filed against her from WOMEN in the organization, that she MASSIVELY discriminated against filing poor reviews and criticisms and complaints against almost all women she worked with.
  4. She has emails showing her taking advice from lawyers back in 2008, then one friend of hers saying "delete all emails except those you can use to try and sway your case". So she did that. For five years.
  5. Her complains amount to: I was made to sit at the back and take notes. Despite only doing that on ONE occasion and actually spending the first days in the front row, people not letting me in to their deals... after people complaining she was always trying to get into deals after the research and diligence was done, instead of coming up with her own ideas. That's it, literally it.
  6. She was offered her dream job, the job she wrote she wanted, when she was found to have failed EVERY SINGLE employee assessment for five years running, and missing EVERY TARGET. She refused, knowing it would hurt her CASE she had been building if she accepted.
  7. She starts suing them while working there, being extremely abrasive, basically like Westboro Baptist abrasive, while trying to goad someone to make a move that would help her case. Nobody did.
  8. As SOON as she complained they hired an investigator for her, literally within a minute, to help her. She refused to speak to the investigator they hired to HELP HER, while she was preparing her case, and finally did ONLY WITH HER OWN LAWYER PRESENT lol.
So she wanted to paint a picture of her being oppressed. What a sad fuck. Pissing in the face of every hard working person and shitting on the progress so many amazingly talented women have made. That's right Ellen Pao, shit into the mouths of all those professional women who would never stoop to such dirty fraud to get ahead.

#2girls1CEO

Ellen Pao wants someone to gild her $16,000,000 because she fucked a married guy, they talked about him leaving his wife and marrying her and having kids, he didn't... somehow that entitles her to $16,000,000, and it's totally not a hail-mary because she's going to prison. When the SEC / FBI get through untangling the ponzi scheme in the Caymans.

There's been a big push from Social Justice Warriors to increase the moderation and banning/censorship on reddit and 4chan. Basically banning people who say things they don't like or could potentially be offensive to someone somewhere.
[–]eyelovepizza 22 points23 points24 points  (3 children)
Also the entity that owns McReddit also recently bought 4chan! 💩

Wonderous cultural Marxism!
[–]Yserbius 40 points41 points42 points  (10 children)
Ellen Pao is the temporary CEO of reddit. She has a record of standing up for feminists and has thus been labeled a "Social Justice Warrior" by much of the reddit userbase.
Her husband was indicted on fraud charges and it's been really difficult to get articles about it to the front page (it's not politics so no /r/politics, it's not world news so no /r/worldnews etc.), leading people to believe that there's some sort of conspiracy going on. Several people starting spamming her name and information about her husbands crimes on various subreddits and have been banned for it.
She then further irked the sensibilities of various people by saying that reddit is not a "free speech platform" giving vague reason such as "making people feel safe". This lead some users to conclude that reddit admins will start banning things that they find offensive, such as anti-feminism or anything deemed racist.
Therefore the joke du jour has been that merely mentioning her name is enough to get you a ban.

It's biased but at least it quotes some of the things she said.

      "It's not our site's goal to be a completely free-speech platform. We want to be a safe platform and we want to be a platform that also protects privacy at the same time."
      In other words, Pao isn't ruling out the idea that Reddit could heavily moderate comments, but won't give specifics on who or how.
      [–]RudeTurnip 139 points140 points141 points  (49 children)

      [–]dat-ass-uka 43 points44 points45 points  (20 children)
      for people reading /u/__IMMENSINIMALITY__'s comment and my comment- be wary of pro-reddit shills / cancer mod alts saying stuff such as 'the cancer moderators have already taken over the reddit-default names on Voat', 'they've already squatted account names / subverse names!', 'the cancer is already on Voat!' trying to discourage people from leaving reddit, and thus, leasing them of their power as moderators. dictators can only rule with a populace below them.
      make the transition to Voat now, and start populating it with content. it's looking like Reddit-early-post-digg migration a couple years ago. remember- civilization wasn't made over one night.
      rest assured, the shills are wrong. the owner is supported by us here on 8chan, is pro freedom / pro non-invasive moderating / administrating to an extent [won't ban on feelings or biases], and the owner is also removing users [cancer moderators from Reddit, such as with shitredditsays or the default subreddits] who try squatting subverse names. he is / has introduced a public moderation log, so that moderators can be accountable for what they do.
      the death of reddit is mainly due to two things;
      • authoritarian moderators / 'sjws', and
      • said vocal minority of sjws warping reddit and worming their way into administrator positions to tout echo chambers / 'safe spaces' such as with ellen pao.

      [–]dweeb_plus_plus 11 points12 points13 points  (1 child)
      I don't see that comment as an assault on your average user's comments and posts. I see it as the CEO being mindful that a lot of shady stuff goes on in the bowels of Reddit and it's not going to all be treated the same. Look at Reddit's history of banning r/jailbait and unauthorized "revenge porn."
      I think everyone is overreacting a bit.
      [–]hobnobbinbobthegob 64 points65 points66 points  (57 children)
      I am also confused, but after some googling, it looks like it's probably a reaction to Reddit's new harassment policy.

        reddit will inevitably decline, for this and other reasons. Another site will simply take over in the next few years, until that too fades. The cycle will continue forever.
        [–]rutefoot 105 points106 points107 points  (15 children)
        Reddit will decline because it's increasingly becoming an echo chamber of a specific group of people, driving away new members
        [–]no-soup-4-You 27 points28 points29 points  (0 children)
        It's probably safe to say it drives away old members as well. This site's appetite for outrage and victimization is getting to be a bit much.
        [–]taneq 8 points9 points10 points  (1 child)
        Eh, reddit's a collection of echo chambers for a wide variety of inbred little communities.

        [–]blackarmchair 10 points11 points12 points  (2 children)
        Isn't that simply the nature of any group? When a group is in its formative stages it's character is easily influenced newcomers, even in relatively small numbers. But when it becomes larger it taken-on a general character that's much harder to change. Isn't this just culture?
        [–]akatherder 14 points15 points16 points  (8 children)
        I've been around here for a while, and this is the first time the CEO and admins have really taken the site in any direction. It just so happens that it's a bad direction.
        My fear is that they are always secretive about the rules (so that the "real" baddies can't work around breaking them). It's hard to know when your actions are bad enough or draw enough attention to earn a ban.
        Like unidan for instance. I wasn't a huge fan of him, but did he really deserve a ban? Are you telling me people don't login to their alters and upvote their primary accounts constantly? What it usually seems like is "Ok, pretty much everyone is breaking the rules... but forreals we'll only come after you if we don't like your personal viewpoints."
        [–]riverraider69 4 points5 points6 points  (2 children)
        Unidan gamed the system. The difference between the decision back then and what happens now is actually quite illuminating. The admins publicly killed an account they liked because the rules said so, and because they believed it's for the long term good.
        What we're afraid of now is admins silently killing whoever they like because of clique or ideological reasons.

        [–]monkeybreath 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
        The stupid stuff they did was over-commercializing the site by allowing excessive paid content and a small number of people monopolizing the front page. So like a normal news site.
        But Digg was supposed to be a user-driven site, and when it stopped being that, people left.
        Personally I think Reddit could do with a bit more commercialization. It's weird not seeing ads here and I would be happier if I knew they had a good revenue stream.

        As long as there is a set of rules to achieve the top post, there will always be someone to game them.
        Perhaps the next Social Media Platform will not be an imageboard, because I think that's about the time that reddit started declining, when thumbnails and image only links became the norm.
        Edit: and to preemptivize comments about voat, it sounds great, but money is a stupid powerful incentivizer / magnet for spam. I wouldn't count on that platform remaining original / unique / fresh for long.

        Freedom is overrated. Openness is good enough for people that want intelligent discussion without having to dive through piles of rehashed memes and idiotic opinions.
        As long as there is a clear and impartial moderation policy, I don't see a problem.
        [–]OffhandComment 14 points15 points16 points  (9 children)
        It's very convenient to say that freedom is overrated until someone else with power over you decides that you're the one with the "idiotic opinion."
        [–]joevector comment score below threshold-11 points-10 points-9 points  (8 children)
        Then that person is going against the established policy and would lose that power or I'm a moron for trying to post in violation of the established policy. I don't see what the problem is with that.
        In the case constant abuse of power isn't punished, then users can be aware of that because of the openness requirement and they're free to choose going elsewhere.
        Arbitrariness is also an acceptable policy if that's made clear. I wouldn't care or dispute a ban from any TRP subreddit, for instance, as I don't expect their policy to be anything reasonable or structured.
        [–]relkin43 9 points10 points11 points  (2 children)

        impartial moderation
        Allowing ideas to freely compete with each other is the best way to impartially moderate them: bad ideas take hold because they aren't exposed to good ideas, not because they aren't limited.
        [–]joevector -5 points-4 points-3 points  (5 children)
        I mean impartiality towards the users, not their ideas.
        You also assume that the people broadcasting bad ideas actually care about feedback and modifying their beliefs positively, which I think is patently wrong in many cases. The whole point of moderation is clearing out the soapboxers so there is less noise and people with a genuine interest in proper discussion can talk.
        [–]Didiopod 4 points5 points6 points  (4 children)
        No, I don't assume people care about feedback. Once somebody begins soapboxing, I don't expect them to be that open to change. But I don't think soapboxing is a problem in this medium because no one can shout over anyone else; it's very easy to scroll past or downvote noise. It's very hard to view a post or comment that's been deleted.
        [–]joevector -1 points0 points1 point  (3 children)
        IMO, an ideal system would let you see deleted comments if you so desire. That's the pinacle of openness, anyway. It would allow productive discussion to flow more easily and users to give feedback on mod decisions.
        [–]Didiopod 3 points4 points5 points  (2 children)

        I've noticed it on Reddit, but last time I checked on voat (admittedly it was a few months ago) it was hella obvious. Users were blaming "SJW cancer" for removing their "race realism" posts.
        There's definitely people who went to voat because they have some genuine concerns over Reddit moderation, but they were outnumbered by people who left Reddit because the rest of the user base didn't want to tolerate their assholery.

        It's not a bad question. We left the once glorious Digg to practice our new religion over here, Why would we expect to never leave Reddit?

        [–]Benthetraveler -3 points-2 points-1 points  (4 children)
        Digg and reddit where a millions times smaller back then. You have literally no fucking idea yet you shitpost. :/ If even only 10% of reddit migrate voat would be completely down. The upfront investment alone would kill the enterprise.
        Please, before you shitpost at least look at the numbers at least fucking once.

        [–]Benthetraveler -2 points-1 points0 points  (0 children)
        Oh yeah, cause, you know, in order to access this site, or digg, you had to be registered. And, you know, reddit doesn't release numbers like unique visitors and registered accounts over time, so even somebody who is entirely new to reddit would find out you are full of shit.
        Oh wait. Reddit does? Well unfortunately that means you are a fucking idiot. :/

        [–]drkitteh 3 points4 points5 points  (0 children)
        That's because all of the oldfags went to 8chan. 4chan is just kiddies that heard about how supposedly terrible it is.
        [–]MrRandomSuperhero 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
        It's because all the kids have been flooding into 'hardcore 4chin', while most of the older channers have joined the exodus to 8chan, since they did notice how shit halfchan had become.

          8chan is basically an upgraded version of 4chan. Instead of the featured boards being static like on 4chan, anyone can create a board, similar to how anyone can make a subreddit. The only global rule is no illegal posts (CP, credit card numbers, etc), as oppossed to cuck-chan which will censor topics that are not to the mods liking. Each created board can have its own set of rules, or no other rules besides the global ones, so it's a very flexible system. If a mod goes mad with power then a new board can be created and people will simply migrate.

          Wasn't that supposed to be the plan with subreddits? Doesn't really work out that way.
          [–]Tipsy_Gnostalgic 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
          Yes, but it actually works out on 8chan. It's happened with the /gg/ and /gamergate/ board already.
          [–]TheFatJesus 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
          I only know what people have said since I don't really ever visit the chans. But apparently moot got an sjw girlfriend and started getting in with that crowd. So when he pulled down things like the fappenning people got upset. The last straw for some of them came when he pulled down gamergate stuff and basically handed over the site to admin people thought were sjws. So based hotwheels started 8chan and people call moot a cuck. That is all I got but I am sure a more detailed version wouldn't be hard to find.
          [–]tronald_dump -6 points-5 points-4 points  (4 children)
          8chan is what happened when gamergaters decided to leave 4chan for some reason. because their egos were hurt or something. if you want to inhabit a mongolian picture board thats inhabited by people SERIOUS about gamergate and mens rights, then thats the place for you!

          [–]dat-ass-uka 1 point2 points3 points  (2 children)
          8chan is actually what happened when users got pissed off at authoritarian moderators banning all criticism of feminism, all criticism of the moderators and moot, and all criticism of other 'sjw' related topics- plus the moderators censoring people / limiting free speech.
          and thankfully, the migration has worked. 8chan is doing over 60% of the traffic of 4chan now- and is steadily increasing while 4chan is decreasing in traffic by the day.
          [–]tronald_dump -1 points0 points1 point  (1 child)
          citation needed. you are absolutely delusional if you think 8chan even holds a candle to the traffic 4chan generates.

          alexa stats are based on people who have downloaded the toolbar and visited the website with the toolbar on their browser. the alexa toolbar is pretty much malware.
          the cloudflare stats for 8chan states that from march 20th to april 24th 8chan did;
          • 364,140,650 page views
          • 360,982,244 regular traffic
          • 3,371,051 unique vistors
          • 1,535,078 crawlers / bots
          • 1,423,328 'threats' [not sure what this means]
          so yeah, it's not 'not even holding a candle to the traffic 4chan generates'

          [–]snarpy comment score below threshold-6 points-5 points-4 points  (12 children)
          I'm not sure how what I said was racist. I didn't claim that all whites are male, grumpy, gamers, or single. I think I referred to a pretty specific group, actually.
          It's not random, either, it's exactly what the original post is about. They won't say it, of course, because they're caching their argument within "free speech" because that sounds good.
          [–]KentWayne 2 points3 points4 points  (11 children)
          So, you don't know how singling out a race without anyone else even mentioning race, in a vitriolic attack, is racist? Are you purposely obtuse?
          [–]snarpy -3 points-2 points-1 points  (10 children)
          I didn't single out a race, I singled out a specific group of which race was a particular element.
          I know you want to make it about that, but that's not the case at all. You're the one being obtuse by avoiding the original point I made in favour of trying to label me racist.
          [–]KentWayne 3 points4 points5 points  (9 children)
          Your original "point" is that only "single white males" can feel a certain way about this. Not black or latino or asian or greek or (cont'd)(cont'd) males, not (any race) females ....etc. So not only are you targeting a race AND gender. You are also attempting to speak on behalf of every other race out there. Your hubris knows no bounds.
          [–]snarpy -5 points-4 points-3 points  (8 children)
          That's mostly hyperbole. Man, people here love to focus on one word to the disdain of the entire argument. What was meant is "primarily".
          So how are you going to twist this now that you can't pick on one word?
          Who says I'm speaking on behalf of other races? I'm speaking on behalf of myself, a straight white male, because the shit that goes on on Reddit is downright embarrassing sometimes. It used to be that I was proud to say "I saw it on Reddit", but now the place has the reputation of a bunch of grumpy assholes whining about gamergate and whatever other manufactured controversy and I don't bother.
          EDIT: just to be clear, I'm not embarrassed for being a white male, I'm embarrassed for being a Redditor.
          [–]KentWayne 0 points1 point2 points  (7 children)
          Ah, the ol self loathing based on what others might perceive me as angle. Well, I got great news for you. You aren't responsible for what anyone else has done or will do. You don't have to feel guilty when hipsters talk about how bad "white people" are, because that's not you. You aren't the sum of a race, you are an individual. You can be judged by society based solely on what you do. There, now you can let go of all that guilt you were feeling. The only time from this point out that you should feel ashamed will be for your own actions. I hope this has been therapeutic for you.

          Why would the admins selectively ban certain posts about Pao but not other ones containing near-identical content? That should tell you there's something else going on with the users who have been banned.

People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege.

          Serious post: It seems that most of what Ellen Pao's stances on free speech and on the direction of Reddit are polar opposites of the direction of the community. Why would Reddit appoint a CEO of a major social platform that has contrary views to most of the users? Wouldn't this be harmful for both the company and the community?
          [–]tommyfever 3 points4 points5 points  (9 children)
          It's about cash, not users. We're content - not "content" as in happy, "content" as in substance, stuff, a resource, a datamine, a goldmine, a cash flow. They intend to milk us for money, and another way to get money is to be attractive to investors - thus having a figurehead.

          If I had to wager a guess it's due to PR (especially from news outlets such as CNN/MSNBC/FOX) who will come on here and see various kinds of shitposting bashing everyone and anyone and turn it into a feeding frenzy for the media, ultimately turning the public negative to Reddit.
          But as Reddit recently announced they want to "champion diversity" and "create safe zones" thus making the everyday joe (you and I) the villains and the mods/owners these progressive thinking champions,or whatever.

          Jesus Christ you guys are crybabies. Reddit has never been (and will never be) a free speech platform. Mods can remove content or ban users with impunity. Boo Hoo, you can't harass someone or a mod removed your content. Maybe some day this will go too far, but lets not get carried away about what might be because of one comment in an interview.

          > has never been a free speech platform
          > Boo Hoo, you can't harass someone
          I wish kids on the internet would stop attempting to make free speech == harassment. Its just another redefinition, except this time you're fucking with a basic human right. Free Speech is not harassment. It never has been, and it never will.
          But just in case we're confused, much of what people call "harassment" these days would absolutely be deemed Free Speech by the courts (at least in the US), were it ever challenged. All the proof you need of that statement is in the case files of these guys.
          [–]Vocith 3 points4 points5 points  (0 children)
          I've always laughed at the idea of a website with a built in censorship mechanism being a bastion of free speech.
          But like most people supporting free speech they mean "speech I agree with and/or is popular".
          [–]JBlitzen 5 points6 points7 points  (1 child)
          Nice.
          And let's remember, this woman telling us to trust her on her fairness when it comes to harassment is a known adulterer who's engaged in and lost an extremely large harassment lawsuit.
          Trust?
          Fairness?
          So we can be "comfortable"?
          Fuck that. This is just the same stupid old shit in the same stupid old trappings under a brand new flag.
          "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
