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

There's a huge difference between "Reddit hired someone who appears to be okay with raping children" and "a Reddit powermod is a deadbeat parent". Posting this story over there would clearly fall afoul of harassment/doxxing rules and it would be vigorously enforced, as discussing Bardfinn by name is already verboten in a lot of communities.

The only reason why the Challenor story played out differently was because the MSM started picking up on Reddit's trying to suppress the story, and outraged users were reposting it all over the site and upvoting it to the front page. These are the required conditions for Reddit to act on an internal scandal like this, and this story will not trigger sufficient outrage for these conditions to apply.

Indulge me for a moment. Have you read the entire thread here? Bardfinn, for all practical purposes is the most prominent, visible mod on r/againsthatesubreddits. Bardfinn delights in taking over or taking down entire subreddits that he classifies as hateful. Bardfinn has some secret private program that scrapes reddit for users and "tags and bags them" as somehow offending him. These users remain stored in some userbase that Bardfinn keeps for themselves. Bardfinn is not JUST a deadbeat parent. Bardfinn has harassed and victimized a number of users on reddit because Bardfinn is a child abuser and violent woman beater. Did you miss the fact that Bardfinn bruised his stepson after beating him and violently assaulted his wife, the mother of his natural child? Did you miss Bardfinn's priors for aggravated assault with a weapon? The drug charges CHARGES... more than one and the theft charge? The weapons charges?

This isn't "some mod doesn't pay their child support" ... this is "The most prominent mod of againsthatesubreddits that delights in talking to media about reddit's hate problem is, in fact, a man with a long rap sheet including aggravated assault, drugs, theft, weapons possession and spousal and child abuse." And he's been bullshitting EVERYONE on reddit and casting himself as a heroine and damsel in distress when the truth is that he's a narcissistic, sadistic predator.

And reddit admins have given him leeway to scrape their API to make his list and his userbase and for some reason they consistently UNSUSPEND HIS ACCOUNT when their impartial, likely outsourced anti-evil team decides that he has violated the reddit rules against harassment.

Thank you for your time.
 
Can't wait for the day they piss one of the less sane off and they release all the dirt of reddit for the internet to enjoy. Also how come irs hasn't gone for his her ass for unpaid child support. Probably because she's a "true and honest woman"
The fucked-upness of the powermod clique means that the stories will be more-fucked but also less-likely to leak. None of these people are probably in a position to be like "that's it, I quit, I'm going to reallocate my free time to hitting the gym and teaching my son how to throw a football." It's crucial that their whole social circle and sense of self-worth be tied to the clique. Deprogramming would take a while and the group would have time to cover its tracks (eg. shuffle around to alt accounts and such) before they started pointing fingers.

This also makes the group resistant to infiltration, since you'd have to go through extensive personal vetting to really be a part of one of these cliques where the really interesting shit is happening.
 
this clique is not just a bunch of powerjannies with some sort of class solidarity but that there are weird cliques of hugely fucked-up degenerates who have captured power on Reddit and promote eachother since being part of the fucked-up ingroup indicates that you're trustworthy. The effectiveness of these mechanisms is why the Challenor affair basically had no insider leaks about what exactly Reddit was thinking in hiring her - they have a bunker mentality and leaks are rare except when they try to do something large/controversial like the Banout, whose public failure probably just caused the cabal to exercise power more subtlely.
Correct. The powermods of reddit are purging all of the people who tolerate diverse views and who are not into promoting Marxist intersectionality. Even the straight boys have to say they are totes willing to gargle that girldick in order to remain in the inner circle. The best mods have left already, or have been driven out, or have been targeted and purged from reddit.

I've read the thread. I've been familiar with Bardfinn for a while, since she was getting poked at on /r/drama. It's not enough. Most people who have no idea who she is and never will. It's not going to get picked up by MSM. I'm content to agree to disagree on this and see how things play out over the coming months though. Even for Challenor her pedo ties were known for a while before Reddit canned her - it's only when she started working the job that people started speaking out enough. But obviously Bardfinn isn't being hired by Reddit.

Also, I disagree with the idea that she has some sort of privileged API access at Reddit. I've seen no strong evidence that she does anything that one can't do with basic webscraping, public API access, and intermediate DBA skills and a lot of free time. It's been a while since I browsed the full thread and I think maybe she's spoken a couple times as if she had some sort of privileged information but it seems likely that she's just exaggerating/lying.

Granted, if Reddit really was granting her some sort of special access, that would be a story.

People actually think anyone on reddit or outside "alt right HATE BOARDS" is going to give a fuck about this. They won't care.

But on the off chance they do, here is his "get out of jail free" card.


Hello Fellow Trans Warriors

Recently I have been the subject of an alt right facist nazi website called the Kiwi Farms. They hate trans people. I am a trans. Trans rights. Being a trans is hard (I am trans).

Donate to my trans gofund me (for trans stuff.) Girl power
 
Anyone want to bet how long does it take for him to commit suicide?

I say less than a month.
He's not trans. He's not suicidal. He has too much of a sense of his own importance to kill himself. See, I might have THOUGHT that he was legit trans....except...he had all those priors. The weapons, the drugs, the theft and then he had the wife-beating. He's not going to kill himself He's a megalomaniac. He wants to crush others. He wants others to die. He's expressed these violent, homicidal and even genocidal thoughts frequently. He's not going to kill himself.

Yeah it doesn't matter if it takes him down or not. He's going to be pissed off that people are finding out about this and that's what this site is all about - laughing at people getting pissed off for stupid reasons.
Absolutely, this is prime bullying material. Any power stunts he tries to pull from now on can be riposted with oblique references to his wife-beatin' ways and while yeah, he's going to ban the Reddit accounts that chirp him with it, he'll get really pissed off while he does it and that's worth it.

To be honest I think it will be pretty easy to dance around this. As much as the admins bend over backwards to protect Bardfinn the prohibition is mostly against mentioning her by (user)name. If you make a comment like "why should we listen to AHS when some of its mods are known felons and wife-beaters?" then yes Bardfinn will seethe and report it but it fails to constitute harassment similar to how you can't get banned for saying that AHS posts CP.

The entire AHS / Cabal crowd is nothing but a bunch of bullies who don't give a fuck about fighting hate, they're just using it as an accepted cover to be shit over everyone's party. That's why so many of them are exposed to have bullying be the least egregious of their crimes, because they use their crusade against Nazi boogeymen as a cloak for their own shitty selves. Spez no doubt was subject to several swirlies and wedgies growing up, so it's easy to see why he has bent over for Bardfinn & Friends.

Wokeness has now become the acceptable way of bullying people, so it isn't a shock when you find out about Bardfinn being an abusive piece of shit or wokescolds like that Teen Vogue editor having a history of racist comments. Back in 2010 acting like a bigot was the go to method for bullies, but sometime later that decade bullies realized that wokeness was a better method because they could get a lot more support that way.

Are you not embarrassed to wade into a group discussing a 6'2" wife-beating loser and insist on calling him 'she'? No-one here believes in special gender-fee-fees, let alone that wearing a wig and claiming to be 'trans' makes a misogynistic male domestic abuser a true and honest laydee (on the inside!)

We're not five. Take your gender fairies and stuff them up your ass.
 
Can someone fucking tell me why it's ALWAYS tranny Jannies?

Like look, I pride myself on being a proud and virulent racist. When I see someone who is on my list of subprime human I SEETHE. If someone cuts me off in traffic I loudly assume the race of the offender and when it's right I hold it over the kids on my schoolbus. And sometimes the car playing loud music, or the guy who cut me off, or the dickhead who though it was a good time to jaywalk isn't Irish, and I'm wrong. But that's okay. Sometimes it's just a guy named Trevor who didn't see me there, and Trevor isn't a walking spud, he's a cool dude. But that's okay, because sometimes there are exception that prove the rule.

So through which inviolable universal constant is it achieved that EVERY shitty reddit Jannie is like this. Not Some. Not MOST. but ALL. There is no Trevor at reddit. There is no username behind which stands proudly a guy you could have a beer with. It's name is Trevora and Trevora rapes dogs with it's psuedopenis. And Trevora is banning you from the Borderlands 3 Subreddit because when another moderator said you deserved to get raped to death for disagreeing with the blue haired self insert, you responded with "whatever dude".

Like okay, lets up the ante to Hitler. Yeah that guy. Hitler hated jews right? But Hitler had like, 3 jews he was pretty cool with. Even Hitler believed that Trevor existed.

I believe we have discovered the platonic Ideal of metaphysical evil. And it spends it's times ensuring that the shitty memes posted on r/gaming have the name of the game in the title.

First of all HE,,, who HE is. I'm not using his fucking preferred pronouns and my friends who are trans don't want me to. Because he's a guy. He's an abusive male. Anytime now anyone TRIES to say "she" I'm going to say, no... you don't get to foist Steven's absolutely crazy abusive behavior off on women. We don't tend to do that shit.

Also... you are wrong. MANY people know who Bardfinn is. Bardfinn has taken personal credit on himself for getting many subreddits shut down.... They are the gendercritical people... They are the lesbians who do not welcome penispeople. They are the detrans folks. And they are the trans folks who do NOT want to be "repped" by some sadistic dude on reddit.

Spez no doubt was subject to several swirlies and wedgies growing up, so it's easy to see why he has bent over for Bardfinn & Friends.
So now that we have photos of Spez and known photos of Bardfinn... can anyone shop this? Because it would honestly be the perfect encapsulation of reddit at the moment.

I've noticed most transpeople don't respect the pronouns of notorious rat kings. Yaniv and CWC especially, it's hilarious seeing handmaids and woke bros insist on calling CWC a she even though he obviously doesn't care what people call him. Having multiple sets of pronouns is allowed, and for people who do now there is expectation that all stated sets be honored; so I don't get why people are pissed on CWC's behalf when he never bothers to correct people.

Bardfinn is definately notorious throughout reddit, all it takes is browing the top results for Watch Reddit Die or The Cabal and his name will pop up over and over again. Plus that fucker is a mod on so many different subs so even people not versed on Reddit drama are bound to see his name regularly.

Only the FBI could stop it, but they won't because they use reddit as the source of their CP busts. Sadly they won't do shit to Spez or Bardfin, even though Spez allows CP and Bardfin distributes it.

Let's not forget that AHS modus operandi is to flood a sub they don't like with CP, then call the admins so they have a legitimate excuse to ban it while respecting TOS. The fact that Barfin is the one who supplies the CP, promotes the CP and even distributes the CP should be case enough for any law enforcement agency in the world (forget about the USA, this should be Interpol shit now) but is backed by the pedo supporter dindunuffin murderer of Spez (the faggot killed Swartz, I'm certain of it) should tell you that Reddit is a shit platform that should be avoided and denounced in every corner of the internet.

To me anyone who uses reddit (even after the whole Aimee pedo tranny) is an idiot who gives money to pedophiles and deviants.
