He moderated Jailbait. Never forget.

I haven't seen this response in this thread so I suppose I'll pass it along:

Apparently, back in ye olde days, a subreddit owner could make anyone mod without their permission, and there's no evidence that u/spez actually did any moderation.

Plenty of reasons not to like u/spez, and apparently he did advocate against shutting jailbait down, but him being a mod is not super legit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He kind of looks like he would mod the jailbait sub…

[–] Evkob 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Isn't there enough to criticize about spez without attacking his appearance? I know plenty of people who look similar to him, most of them aren't pedophiles.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Yea, I'm not a pedophile just because I look like that. I mean, I am a pedophile, but NOT because I look like that!

(For legal reasons, this is a joke.)

Let's not go there, we don't need to judge people based on their appearances

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm out of the loop - what sub is this referring to?

Sry if this is a dumb question, but what is Jailbait?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Communities devoted to explicit material saw rising popularity, and r/jailbait, which featured provocative shots of underage teenagers, became the chosen "subreddit of the year" in the "Best of reddit" user poll in 2008, and at one point, making "jailbait" the second most common search term for the site.

From banned subreddit section.

So in other words... CP...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well, teeeeeechnically not, as there was no sexual interaction and no full nudity.

However, if someone is explaining how they're technically not comitting a felony, they should probably stop.

Borderline, not that it makes it any better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It was supposed to be borderline, ie 18+ models who just looked like they were underage. However there were lots of underage girls posted on there, and indeed the word literally means "a tempting but illegally underage girl" - they're bait, and if you try to do anything with them you'll go to jail.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Jailbait is a term usually applied to teen girls under the age of consent that the user of the term finds sexually attractive.

They are so desirable sexually that you would persue sexual relations with them regardless of the legal penalties that might be involved.

So, in classic blaming the victim terms, these girls are "baiting" you to wind up in jail, as if you are some zombified, helpless, spellbound victim that must satisfy your desire.

This fits my idea of his personality so well that it isn't even humorous to learn about

Fuck The_Donald but this guy is such a piece of shit man. Every tech bro CEO has an ego like glass.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I wholeheartedly agree. On all points.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Does Bill Gates count as a tech bro as he's the only exception I can think of.

To succeed in tech I guess you have to have some ego, but they really do seem to be overwhelmingly children about everything.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

He’s more of a tech grandad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bill Gates is an asshole who somehow managed to polish his image so that people born after say 1990 think he's a nice guy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Somehow other tech god-kings are so odious all Gates had to do was take the position "sometimes it's bad when people die" and now everyone treats him like a kindly grandfather and not the bloodsucking monopolist demon he absolutely still is.

Reddit's CEO moderated every pedo's favorite subreddit.
