Former reddit CEO Yishan Wong: Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, not Ellen Pao, responsible for Vict - Polidicks

We did it Reddit! We acted before we knew the whole story just like five million times before!

[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];48206821']We did it Reddit!

Victoria's firing was a single issue of many. She needed to go before the firing of Victoria. Its just that was what motivated the community to stand up for itself. But as before, I know your thoughts on people standing up for themselves already. So no surprise you take this attitude.

Which honestly is high caliber backstabbing. For once I hope the media circus continues, because I doubt bad media reputation is better than no media reputation for something like Reddit.

Those people think only women can be lying manipulative cunts.

Well a petition to remove Ohanian [url=https://www.change.org/p/alexis-ohanian-to-step-down-from-reddit-board-and-administration-fire-alexis-ohanian]has started[/url].

[QUOTE=NikoChekhov;48208101]Now you can tell him how dumb you think he is to his face, go for it.[/QUOTE] He already did in a roundabout manner.

[QUOTE=djshox;48208357]MRA babies[/QUOTE] What part about this makes you think they would oppose Ellen Pao in any way shape or form?

[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;48199753]why [editline]14th July 2015[/editline] why tho [/QUOTE] reddit is full of people worse than facepunchers, or even 4/8channers

More importantly, most complaints I've read about Ellen Pao have directed very specifically at one person, not women as a whole. You're generalizing way too much.

[QUOTE=DuCT;48206769]I think that was when Yahoo bought Tumblr, they eventually rolled everything back.[/QUOTE] Tumblr's already fucked, you can't make it more fucked than its already fucked.

Its been said for months now that people weren't happy with her track record nor her background in using social justice as a scapegoat, not the fact she has a vagoo.

[QUOTE=DuCT;48205505]First 4chan goes all retarded, and now Reddit. What's next? Tumblr?[/QUOTE] Facepunch is next, they've banned ratings, it's already begun.

It's just a fucking website.

[QUOTE=BLOB Fish Dude;48210307]It's just a fucking website.[/QUOTE] Well it seems Reddit isn't just A fucking website, it's THE fucking website.

[QUOTE=PelPix123;48210269]So let me get this straight: Redditors scared Pao into resigning only to find out she was a pawn and a scapegoat in an extensive chess game between two utter sociopaths and the only thing really holding the site together? [editline]15th July 2015[/editline] They've done fucked themselves over good, I'll tell you hwat[/QUOTE]She wasn't holding the site together by any means. Her owns admitted actions were already detrimental. It just seems she wasn't specifically responsible for Victoria being fired. She needed to go regardless.

It easily could have been Ohanian or someone else to pressure her to make those choices...

I know that you know the real criticisms people have for pao, so is this just a straight up shitpost intended to provoke responses like this? Like, the latest round of uproar was provoked because people were blaming pao for firing another women. What possible motivation would "misogynistics" have for getting upset about that.

She's not a fragile butterfly caught up in a war of politics. Remember that she started and led one of her own against her former employer, where its a matter of court record that she lied and manipulated her colleagues.

You completely ignore everything else that made people dislike Pao, even before she became the CEO of Reddit. You also ignore the fact that she herself was being misogynistic when implementing her rule about no salary negotiations, because apparently women suck at that too. If anything, outing Pao makes SV more open for women.
