Aimee Challenor / Ashton Lucas David Challenor / Aimee Knight - Failed politician, adult baby, son of an adult baby rapist, furry, brony: the troon that killed Reddit.

Thing is, all those things, as stupid as they sound from a fully informed kiwifarms perspective, they do line up with standard corporate practice.

The background check would've presumably been a criminal background check. In fact, if he was employed in the UK, reddit's hands might've been tied a bit more in what they'd be able to reject him for. (I don't think they literally would be forbidden not to hire him for a seedy past, but hiring decisions are certainly going to be less laissez faire than it would be in the US.) They also might've also made some dumb argument that he's a poor troon and shouldn't be a victim of his father's mistakes.

Now we're better informed about this, but the extent to which normal people can be blustered into believing stupid narratives should not be underestimated. In fact, I'm still shocked that the reddit userbase even revolted. Honestly, I think that was less the facts about Challenor himself and more about the censorship.

The censorship of the userbase would definitely be standard corporate practice. They can't hire a gay or a black or whoever, then have their white nationalist, racist, bigoted userbase (as it would be reported as in the media) chase them out of the job. That would be a hostile work environment, at least in popular consciousness.

And then... they finally caught up on exactly how severely they fucked up and corrected.

Per their statement, this all sounds pretty mundane. It's not that it isn't shitty, but it's standard corporate practice shitty.

It's not impossible they're lying, but this is pretty serious lying. People would get fired if this came out.

Or idk, maybe some low level management troon might have some way to launder his employment, like maybe if they hire an outside company for moderation work or something.

That is the thing. I am not sure if Ashton was hired in England, or America. What sort of contract he had. As you said the American-way is a bit more.....flexible so to speak. However, firing someone for "guilt-by-association" is not popular on either continent, and in Europe I think they would get in trouble for this. Since Ashton himself, has not been found guilty by any court of the subject. However members of his family, and the person he married is another story.

You are sort of touching at what I am thinking about at the end there. Simply hiring him in through an "external company". Ashton could make himself a consultant, name his company something else, and maybe place it in the name of someone else /have someone else make it for him. And then he works for reddit, in the form of a company, rather than a person. The name on the monthly billing would be in the company's name, rather than his personal name, and thus he wouldn't be an obvious blight on their pay-roll.

It would be massively bad PR for them however, and Aimee has kept a remarkable low social profile since this happened. Not unexpected of course. But I could imagine it being told to him as well from Reddit. To avoid shit-storms.

I seen worse choices done by companies. That defies all reason. I doubt it. That being said, we live in clown-world. So maybe, who knows. Until there is any solid proof, it is just a theory and a hunch. Perhaps wrongly so even. The way Reddit handled all of this came off as very shady, and not very trustworthy. This adds to the suspicion people are feeling.

Only time will tell.

Yeah, and whether or not they're still passing money to Challenor himself (perhaps through a single person llc or whatever the local equivalent is), the much more profound lesson here isn't that they hired a Challenor tier pedo once, it's that this was just the time they got caught doing it. I'm sure reddit is full of skeevy fucks that we don't know about.

The lesson reddit is learning here probably isn't "don't hire pedos", it's "don't get caught hiring pedos". It's like training a cat, except with less hairballs and more molestation.

If it was any other job, I wouldn't care. But social media involves a lot of personal interactions with vulnerable people, including kids. People (foolishly) let their guard down on social media.

If redditors care about their communities (which is one of the dumber things I've typed in awhile, but whichever), they should be asking the corporation some hard questions about the hiring practices for the trust and safety jobs on the site. Who exactly are they trusting to follow up when someone says "hey this mickey mouse subreddit is full of gross cartoon porn"? Or "this weirdo is pming my underage nephew on your site"?

"We have a free speech policy here, don't read it if you don't like it" certainly is a position for reddit to take, but I suspect they don't apply that standard evenly, and I'm certain that their more financially minded board members aren't keen on that. And if redditors had a memory longer than a goldfish, they'd be following up on this.

Im sorry if this is only tangentially related to Challenor, but apparently Reddit tranny mod CedarWolf, who is a close personal friend of Aimee, and helped cover up his hiring at Reddit and banned many talking about him, has apparently been outed as the "girlfriend" (and Im not sure its a girl) of fellow powermod DrewiePoodle, and has been to Reddit HQ in San Francisco.

Also, sorry for the run-on sentence. It's Friday and Im enjoying an ice cold beer.

The host of the Grillcast went undercover to listen to the infantile ramblings of r/antiwork's mod team a couple days ago. When propositioned with the idea that Moderators should strike to get paid by Reddit (LOL), one of the mods who shut down his subreddit because of Aimee Challenor confirmed that Reddit has castrated jannies and has banned any displays of disobedience in the future (42:15 - 44:50)

Seeing that he's a trans activist first and foremost, shouldn't his thread be moved to Stink Ditch?

Yeah, especially since he has connections to multitudes of other troons and is a pretty important figure in troon politics (much as they'd like to forget him).
