Steven Joel Akins / Penelope "Penny" Verity Oaken / u/Bardfinn / Penny Witchette / Finning Widget / MutabileSemper - "Incest is not unethical" - Troon Reddit powermod who orchestrates the posting of CP to subs they hate, pathological liar with a massive ego, domestic abuser and multiple felon
Even if it is legally minor compared to other felonies, domestic violence is simply more morally wrong than drug possession. You can't convince anyone that hitting the woman you read your vows to and the children that depend on you is less of a crime (morally) than holding on to some weed or meth.
What an unbelievably privileged life you must have led in order to say that.
I have a family member who is dealing with a violent partner not unlike Penny here. The toll this has taken on all of us is immense and will have reprocusions for many years to come. So fuck you for trivializing this shit and playing apologetics for an abuser. Tbh I should expect this level of cognitive dissonance from someone with "woman respecter" in their profile.
I keep going back to our queen Leah here. How terrible was THIS situation? Steven's in a rage. Leah's saying, "Look two months ago you hit and bruised my kid, your stepson"... Leah has crying baby. Steven takes baby from her and starts just poking and hitting her and DARING her to strike back. She refrains from doing so, because that would make HER an abuser... she doesn't have rage or a desire to rip Steve's dick off... she just takes it... she just accepts Steve's rage directed at her hitting and poking her to the point of bruising, DARING her to fight back....but she doesn't.... then Steven decides to call the police and report HIMSELF for child abuse. That's right. Steven was so fucked up on SOMETHING that he tried to fight his wife and then called the cops on himself. Oh my God. That poor woman.
I don't think he was fucked up on anything. I think he's a narcissistic abuser, because that's how narcissistic abusers function. I guarantee you he called the cops because his wife was telling him that beating a five year old hard enough to leave bruises is abusive, and he went "Oh, so now I'm a child abuser? Oh my god, I should call the cops on myself! I'll call the cops right now and see if they think I'm a child abuser!"
I doubt he even considered that the police might see his treatment of his wife as abusive, let alone that of his (step?)child. He probably figured that, since he is the logical male and in control of the situation, the cops would agree with him and tell his silly wife that "spanking" (beating) a child wasn't abusive.
His wife probably "accepted it" because she'd been broken down by probably years of abuse, and she knew she would get it worse if she did or said anything. I'd wager she only left him because he started physically abusing her son. There are a lot of women who will tolerate unending abuse from disgusting men, so long as their children aren't being harmed. (I'm not judging them, by the by. The most dangerous time for a victim of domestic abuse is when she tries to leave her abuser. There's a lot of rightful fear keeping these women in abusive relationships.)
A few minor felonies from 15 years ago really isn't as bad as you people are making it out to be, and it's pretty obvious you only care because she's a transwoman.
If they weren't acting like a cunt, them being trans wouldn't matter to me at all.
With so many MTF troons, there's delusions of grandeur, narcissism, and layers of bullshit and made up backstory. That's what I can't stand about Steven - the idea that they're some important Nazi hunter ridding Reddit of hate, when they're just a sad troon, over-compensating for the fact that they're a piece of shit who beats women and kids and doesn't pay child support.
When you dig into the history of SJW types, you often find someone who was the exact type of person they now claim to hate. They've pivoted away from one type of bullying into another - one where they can bully people in the name of "social justice". That's what our boy Steven has done.
Just think how many kids were exposed to this thing. How many minds did this thing poison? God damn, whenever I populate the earth with my mutated offspring, there will be no internet for the first 30 years of their lives.
I like how the thread is now 50% people being (rightfully) completely unsurprised by a Reddit powerjanny being a despicable waste of human flesh, and 50% people obliviously taking extremely cheap bait from Dyn and newfags. It always happens, but it's always fun to watch.
Huge fucking props to @Von Wolf Demon for the effort either way. You rock, man!
It was one in the morning. He was fucked up on something. I guarantee it. I also guarantee you that he wanted to prod our Queen Leah into fighting back so that if the police came...(and maybe she had threatened to call them because he was out of control and he'd hurt his step son some time earlier while in the same state)....IF the police were going to come, he wanted to have injuries on him, too, so that he could claim that it was a mutual fight. I guarantee it. I guarantee that she was about to call the cops on him for being out of control and he tried to pick the fight with her. And she, wisely, did nothing. And let him hit and poke her. And did nothing back to him ... and he probably, knowing that she was going to call the police... in his state...he was obviously agitated and violent and provoking her to try to be violent... HE DECIDED HE WOULD be the one to take control and call the police. Be Leah. I'm not Leah. I would have fucked him up as much as possible. But then both of us would be guilty of violence and likely cited for it if not arrested. But Leah was smart. She had injuries on her and there were no injuries on Steven. I still wanna rip that microdick off him.
None of this is going to take him down. To say you have this info immediately tells people that you're a KF user who should be immediately discredited.
The average reddit user isn't smart enough for this to do anything.
You can't "take down" an unemployed felon, lol. They're already at the bottom rung of society. It's also valuable maintain to his reddit modding; keeping him busy internet janitoring 18 hours a day means he's less likely to get involved with his stepkids or beat his wife further, don't remove his pacifier!
Challenor got booted off because quite literally everyone was talking about it and there were actual pedophillic convictions involved. Dyn might be dyn'ing but he unintentionally brings up a good point: 15 years and some awful but not "torches & pitchforks" awful convictions is long and small enough to give Redditors an excuse of "She might have been convicted but it was so long ago, drugs are fine actually, and she's still a strong beautiful trans woman that keeps Nazis at bay!" and because Redditors barely know how to dress themselves and cook breakfast they'll eat that shit up.
Not to mention the top brass still have plausible deniability. Challenor got the Streisand Effect HARD when he was brought in because reddit auto-bans naming their admins, or so I remember it. There's no smoking gun connecting Reddit staff with Stevey-boy, and I don't know whether that's just luck or them learning from the last fallout.
All of this is subject to change if the law or media get involved, but now I'm fast approaching territory. Unless that happens, Steve's gonna do what he's been doing and anyone bringing up his past is evil, nazi, dawksser, k*w*farmer, etc. I'd love to be wrong on this.
In my opinion this is the real broader story that would be worth pursuing if real journalism were still a thing - how do people like Bardfinn and Challenor acquire so much influence on Reddit? What kind of dynamics end up protecting them when these stories come to light? It truly seems like there is some sort of weird powermod cabal on Reddit that basically wants to control the site but is highly resistant to scrutiny, pretextually based on harassment/doxxing concerns but it's really obviously more just about wanting to avoid the transparency that they desire for everyone else (particularly those allied with the political right.) I'm not sure if Bardfinn is really a full-fledged member of this cabal or just a fellow traveler, but anything that shines the light on it that it deserves is good in my book.
This is the sort of thing I'd be interested in knowing, too: Just how deep the personal connections go on Reddit for people like this to end up in such positions of power.
If there's one thing I learned from the whole Gamergate debacle and the years after, it's just how incestuous most organizations are. Everything's run by a little high-school-tier clique of people who are all hanging out and sleeping with each other, and buddies with the cliques that run other organizations.
OK, back from Dallas and got some bad news… and some good news!
First, a quick tangent on why this was worth time and money to me and why I loathe Reddit.
For those of you who don’t know, this is Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit, aka “Spez”.
This man has a very punchable face. If you wind up cracking your screen watching this video, you can’t say I didn’t warn ya! Regardless of all the other issues surrounding Reddit, their sheer contempt for the information and privacy of their users stands out to me. Here we have Steve Huffman being interviewed at a conference. His simps have claimed that he was joking, but I would advise watching the whole video if you think that. He is just smug and insufferable in the whole video. This doesn’t at all come across as a joke to me.
“We know all of your interests. Not only just your interests you are willing to declare publicly on Facebook – we know your dark secrets, we know everything…”
It gets interesting around 14:00 and this quote is right after that point.
The interviewer took him as joking, but others did not. I am with those who do not find this to be Steve’s effort at humor. He is too autistic and humorless for that.
The CEO of Reddit, a site that prides itself on enabling users to “be their true selves” online, is in damage control mode after admitting to using his administrative power to edit comments that were critical of him on a popular pro-Trump forum.
Steve Huffman revealed last week that he edited posts on a forum called “the_donald,” a highly active “subreddit” for supporters of the president-elect. Huffman replaced mentions of his name with the names of the leaders of the pro-Trump forum, essentially re-directing the vitriol he received to target those leaders instead.
“I abused my power to give the bullies a hard time,” he told The Washington Post Friday by phone. Huffman said he thought of the edits as a joke: a way to push back against Reddit users who had been harassing him for months, the paper reported.
And people are surprised that this company would have trooned-out women abusers like Steve and trooned-out pedo defenders like Challenor smashing the ban hammer on everyone in sight? It’s 2021… who the hell else would it be?
Also, I envy those posters in this thread who think “nobody could possibly do this much shit on the Internet for free”. The Age of the Internet is inherently the Age of the Sperg Doing Things For Free and that was true even before COVID. See wikipedia talk pages about navel lint, the DSP forum on this very board, My Immortal, JonTron fapfic, and the Star Citizen trading board (a game in alpha for seven years at this point) for further evidence. Hell, I’ve put plenty of my own time into things like the Farms for free, so who I am I to talk?
I don’t want to “save Reddit”, though, from its shitty mods. I want their shitty mods to take down their site with their crapulence. Delete your account. Lurk the boards you still like with a VPN and a secure browser. And, if you just can't quit, never use anything identifiable when you sign up. Obvious advice to most Kiwis, but not to all reading this. Don’t give them a goddamn thing. Support 230, but push for anti-trust action against Big Tech and reform of payment processors if you really want to see things change.
TLDR: Reddit is fat and I would not have sex with it.
THE BAD NEWS: The child/family law records office was a clusterfuck. They had 50 page documents with only one or two interesting pages mixed with multiple one-page documents that were oftentimes very important. And you have to pay for full documents even if you just want one page out of fifty. The interface was antiquated, confusing, and reminded me of crappy Windows 3.1 programs.
The biggest problem? They only have ONE terminal and desk in a little room and you have to leave after 15 minutes if other people are behind you! 15 minutes to sort through hundreds of pages (with non-informative and ambiguous titles) and write down the file names you want to pay to print. I’m pretty good at that kind of autism, but this was too much of a speed run for me. You can ask to print out all documents, but I wasn’t going to drop hundreds of dollars on this.
There was nobody there when I got in so I hoped I would get more time. But then a line formed. To get back in the room and keep digging, I would have had to wait an hour or two. My schedule was just too constricted to come back later. I took my list to one of the ladies working the desk to print out and she said “Oh, I need the dates, too, hun, not just the filenames”. Fuck. I mention all this just to indicate to anybody else interested in going down this route what the hurdles are.
However, I took some cellphone shots of some very important pages that I will show below. In my opinion, they are the most important part.
Quick summary of what I saw in those documents:
-Anomimous’s analysis of the divorce, child custody document, failure to appear, failure to pay, etc. timeline earlier in this thread is very accurate to what I saw in the files. Violent incident in 2010, trial in 2011, divorce after that, then years of a mix of compliance and failure to pay child support. For those who don’t know how this part of the system works, if a deadbeat dad fails to provide, the stay-at-home mom’s only option for collecting support is to go on welfare and other social programs. That puts it in the power of the state to collect from the dad via either payment or garnishment of wages to repay the welfare, SNAP, etc. that the state is paying out. In a more amicable divorce or child support situation, one parent simply sends a check or Venmo or whatever on a monthly basis and there is no state involvement.
-The divorce agreement was mostly boilerplate and looked like a fairly standard support agreement, with his ex having primary custody, and Steve having visitation rights and financial obligations. It was long and didn’t have much interesting material, and I probably should have skipped most of it and saved a lot of time for other documents out of my 15 minute allotment. There were no “juicy details”, just a general “we don't get along and want a divorce.” The divorce and original custody agreement looks less contentious than Steve’s later failure to comply with child support which led to a decade of court wrangling. Some couples fight back and forth for years before getting child custody set, but I don't think that happened here.
-It looks like Steve paid 235.00 per month when he still bothered to pay. I think this further debunks his “I live off all my patents, bitches!” nonsense. There are no fucking patents, LOL. He hasn’t paid ANY support to the state since 2017. I am not sure how this was all concluded, but I suspect court proceedings have been heavily affected by COVID and cases like his likely were dropped in priority. His balance due just keeps climbing each month with late fee/interest charges increasing each month. At a certain point, I guess they just give up? If Reddit is slipping him money, it sure doesn't show up anywhere official.
-He had at least two different warrants for failure to pay and a failure to appear to a hearing.
-The state ordered a wage garnishment that applies to any employer that hires Steve and that money is transferred to the state to pay for welfare, SNAP, and other services. This is not really a problem for Steve as he never seems to have jobs anymore!
-Here are the “receipts” showing his lack of payment. He stopped paying in 2017. File ends in 2019, not sure what that means. If I had more time to read, I could have probably found a document that explained what the next step was. It is also possible that COVID caused a massive backup in records. No idea.

THE GOOD NEWS: I got all 21 pages of Steve’s criminal records that are accessible in Dallas County! 21 bucks and worth every penny. I have attached the full document to the bottom, but here are the best parts for those who don’t want to read whole thing. I’m sure more savvy legal minds will find good details that I didn’t process or catch.
Interesting parts:
The Incident that started the domestic violence case:
View attachment 2118624 View attachment 2118621
Respect trans women! Real women get the finger HARD in the arm and the torso. While poking with a finger may not sound that painful, keep in mind that this is a very large man poking a woman a foot shorter than him literally dozens of times while yelling at her the equivalent of “whatcha gonna do about it?” in front of a 14 month old. 6’3 and 230 is bigger than most heavyweight fighters and a typical size for a college linebacker. It hurt bad enough to call the cops. Also who the fuck spanks a five year old hard enough to leave bruises? Regardless of whether you support corporal punishment, that is fucked up.
I find it weird that during the description of charges, Steve and his ex are described as having a “dating relationship”, which is odd as they were married by then, which is noted in the full police report. Not sure what this would serve as a lie. Also, it is possible it was just a mistake by somebody. Not sure what to make of it.
Here’s Steve’s full rap sheet. I am not a lawyer, but I did my best to break down the codes to figure out the crimes. This was included in his case as these prior offenses can be considered in his 2011 case. All the case numbers are there. I looked at the other two counties, but a) couldn’t find him in Randall’s database and b) couldn’t find any options for Potter County. It’s possible an in-person visit to those offices might come away with something. They do not list sentences, but I would love to know what time, if any, he served. I went back through the thread and couldn't find anything about these arrests, so hopefully this new material is useful. Enjoy!
2001 Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Randall County, Texas. GUILTY
2002 Drug possession, category PG1 which looks like it may have been opiate-related possession or possibly some other unprescribed medication. Large category which includes many things, but not marijuana. Potter County, TX. GUILTY
2005. Fail ID fugitiive. Looks like that means he lied to an officer about his identity. Amarillo, Randall County, TX. GUILTY
2005 Unlawful Carry of Weapon. Keep in mind, this is Texas! You can carry at home or your car, no problem, so I’m guessing he was carrying somewhere that specifically prohibited it. Responsible gun owners know these kinds of rules and want to stay out of trouble and keep their guns. But Steve does not strike me as responsible. Randall County, TX. No data on sentence, but it says “DOA”. Could not find what that code means. Dismissed on appeal? No idea.
2006 Drug possession, again category PG1 Randall County, TX. GUILTY. Two charges, convicted of both, no further detail.
2006 Related to above drug possession case, he was charged with “Theft 20k-100k”. This appears to have been dismissed as part of his plea on the drug charges. “NAOG” indicates a plea connected to the dismissal.
2006 Also related to the above three cases, he was charged with “prohibited weapons”, which was dropped to “possession in correctional facility” as part of his guilty pleas on the drug charges. My layman’s version of the alleged events: “Dumbass got popped with opiates and stolen goods, then caught in jail with an improvised shiv”. All these charges were rolled into the two drug charges and a reduced weapons charge. The guilty plea got the theft charge dropped.
TLDR: Steve has had a long history of getting in trouble with the law and the domestic assault was not a lone incident.
>violent drug addict child abusing wife-beating convicted felon tranny becomes a reddit mod
I wonder how spez keeps finding so many winners! How long until we trace back those accounts that posted CP on the r/superstraight subreddit and other subs this degenerate spammed to get taken down back to him?
Took it a long time ago. I didn't even like how the MSM took him completely out of context, he was using the wignat's definition of nigger on themselves, how's that a bad thing? Unoptical, fine, funny? Yes. Factual? Let me cite more than 1488 examples to substantiate.
I'll tip my AppleBees manager before I buy some gay cancer grifter's shitty hat or throw a dime at some Z-list e-celeb.
Not to mention the top brass still have plausible deniability. Challenor got the Streisand Effect HARD when he was brought in because reddit auto-bans naming their admins, or so I remember it. There's no smoking gun connecting Reddit staff with Stevey-boy, and I don't know whether that's just luck or them learning from the last fallout.
Steve is directly and visibly connected to the holy cow subreddit of the entire site, AHS, which has not been purged despite endlessly documented wrongdoing & evidence of brigading, something entirely against TOU. He might not blow up Reddit in general as hard, but if they try to suppress information about his domestic abuse and criminal record (particularly if Steve tries to use AHS to do so), I could see it precipitating a decent rally against that shithole.
Schadenfreude is universal. Right now it swings a bit more towards right-wingers and autists because left-wingers and non-autists have been convinced to tolerate batshit insane lunatics and that their lunacy is 100% normal, but that's far from a universal principle and there's more than one brand of crazy/weird to laugh at.
I mean, what kind of person doesn't laugh at Russell Greer, for example? He ticks boxes over here for being a serial litigant, over there for being a creep and a habitual misogynist... Truly, the lols unite.
