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

Did you ever get the feeling that FreeSpeechWarrior was a Bardfinn sock account? I sure as fuck did. That dude was dick riding AHS wicked hard.
FreeSpeechWarrior used to go by the handle of goldf1sh. He has a long Reddit-history. He was/is not a sock of Bardfinn, and certainly was never 'dick riding' AHS. Far from it. FSW's whole deal revolves around Reddit methodically abandoning everything it was initially built upon. Their hypocrisy (motivated by profit) at every turn. And though I was usually opposed to many of his points and methods during his gallant crusade, in many ways, he was absolutely right. I actually regret giving him such a hard time for so long. For not listening or helping him to fight *some of these battles. I had the influence to make headway and I misused it.

This is me, btw: https://imgur.com/a/9VXtDIi

I was suspended - again - for screwing with admins. Fuck em. And fuck anyone on Reddit that bends the knee to them.

I'm about as legit as it gets. I don't really give a damn about anyone's -isms, identities, or tribethink. Don't care. My purpose is to free Reddit of some of the extremes and underhanded agendas, regardless of which 'side' they happen to align with. Why has memes taken over where 'effort-posts' used to reign? Why has partisan politics and culture-war bullshit saturated every corner of the site?

Because of Venture Capitalist clickbux is why. Because slick algorithms have turned our attention-spans to dogshit. Cheap, reactionary engagement! And there's a whole lot of useful idiots that keep feeding this beast; "Doing it for free!", as it were.


And, no, I won't be leaking anything or provide dirt on.. whomever. But I can offer some broad insight in a few areas. For the record, I do not agree with this thread. Doxxing is never okay--even if it serves to confirm some observational assumptions about who, I believe, is operating in bad faith.

Extremely bad faith. And I'd challenge Bardfinn to a 'dEbAtE', even. I don't care how smart they think they are. Don't care about that very convenient Transgender shield, either. I'm bold; honest; suffer no one. And this is why I'm widely respected on Reddit. Plus the fact that I control some of the site's biggest subs on other accounts. I suppose that helps. Reddit Inc. has yet to make the connections, however. And they won't until I let them do so ;)

It seems that Bardfinn has now been removed (maybe) from this topmindsofreddit mod team probably because they spoke as the whole subreddit mod team
I'm the one that ejected Bardfinn from TopMindsOfReddit. Merari01
was also released that day--mainly for bringing Bardfinn on (without approval from others) to begin with.

SkynetJusticeWarri0r is a long-time Reddit pal of mine. I can assure you, with 100% confidence, that this account is not a Bardfinn alt.

The entire AHS / Cabal crowd is nothing but a bunch of bullies who don't give a fuck about fighting hate
This doesn't apply to everyone in that 'crowd'.
 
From a purely community driven standpoint, why does Reddit even let people mod so many subs? I know it’s beneficial to them to have someone that deletes whatever they want them to but to any outsider looking in it’s insane.

No one can realistically moderate more than 3 or 4 of the top 200 subs. Having just a collection of people moderate the huge subs is such a retarded idea. I guess it just makes sense the only people who actually want to moderate that much shit are insane.

I would love to hear an explanation of why the Gender Critical subs were killed. I was a poster there and it was one of the very few places on the Internet where I felt safe to discuss where the movement for trans civil rights became twisted around into a funhouse mirror of men’s rights. The moderators of the forums were watchful for hate speech and were diligent about keeping things clear of Reddit’s policies.

Reddit even killed QTdebatesCG which was the only public forum where people from different points of view could discuss their differences in good faith. AHS seemed to be he driving force to purge Reddit of ALL forums critical of gender ideology.

Will you explain this? Can you help repair it?

During what time period did this occur? I've not actually pulled up the /AHS sub in quite awhile. I can't. I'm too pissed off about the lost/misused potential. I've witnessed the changes. The agenda is prominent and clear to see.

I'm trying to appeal to those that, I think, are sensible people there still. I've not yet reached any sort of outcome, but I will keep trying.

To be clear, I don't really care about gender bullshit (for or opposed). The sub once had the influence to clean that site up, and it failed. It chose a bad road, and is now led by a single person's emotional whims more or less. I can recall when a one or more mods were hell-bent on labeling /r/drama a 'hate sub'. I smashed that nonsense, though (you're welcome, bitches!).

A couple of those mods haven't a clue what legit 'hate' actually is.

Bardfinn kind of reminds me of Coraline Ada Emeke. Both of them like witchcraft, are transgender, and have some sort of affinity for technology.

Even though its clear he doesn't have a PHD, i thought that maybe he maybe had some open source software online or something that he had made. However, I couldnt find anything on Github, Codeberg, Sourcehut, Sourceforge, or Gitlab, and I tried both his real name and username. I even tried variations of his name, and still no matches.

Why the fuck would you want to do that? Steven is un-debatable. He's not arguing his positions out of genuine intellectual curiosity. He stands for whatever he needs to stand for so he can bully the shit out of anyone who crosses him. He won't input any new information that won't give him a new pool of targets. It's a total misunderstanding of how guys like this think to even try to argue them out of their, or into your own positions. They're not interested in anything but being seen "winning".

I had to google this because you sound so much like a cringe copypasta.

Gender Critical was going to get axed regardless because 'Transwomen aren't women' is well outside the overton window now, but I remember hearing from some pinkpill refugees what probably caused it. A handful of throwaways started up an anti-feminist bait sub where they talked about organising mass fake reports on feminist subs, and a bunch of absolute fucking no-brain idiots from the pinkpill sub started using their non-throwaway accounts to openly organise mass fake reports and doxing attempts back at them, despite being told what an absolutely retard idea that was.

Two or three days later the bait sub was wiped, all the femcel subs were wiped, and GC got wiped with them. I'm not sure if AHS even had anything to do with it and wouldn't be surprised either way.
 
I checked through every prominent academic database I have access to, and I found no trace of “Steve Akins” or “Steven Akins” contributing to any academic journal that is searchable on either JSTOR or ProQuest. No results in the ProQuest Dissertation database, either. I am fairly sure that every U.S. university is obligated to submit or commits to submitting record of every doctoral dissertation that is successfully defended. If it’s not in ProQuest, it doesn’t exist, frankly,

This obnoxious troon is lying out his ass about any post-graduate education he has, I am certain of it.

Kiwifarm truly has people from all walks of life eh ?. One advantage of actually free community, its chaos but my god its fucking beatifull.
 
The sub once had the influence to clean that site up, and it failed.

Lol idk how influentual the sub was if they had to resort to using child pornography to get their way. That gave them influence, since they defended reddit from imaginary pedophiles buy nuking subs, they get to nuke more subs. Also that Silicon Valley tranny at reddit is watching out for them. Nobody outside of their power hugbubble respects them. If AHS wanted to actually "clean that site up" they would be deleting inapproprite pictures and making sure minors don't have access to the adult content instead of crytyping while deleting meme subs like the supersexual ones. That's not cleaning up anything, that's just censorship for fee fees sake.
 
This story is almost definitely bullshit, I will explain why cos this is a great opportunity to show you guys how Bardfinn can't keep his stories straight:

According to Bardfinn, the events described in this post took place in 1999, before the millennium.

However, and here is the first obvious catch that this story is fluff: Bardfinn married his first wife, M., in 2001. They were not yet married in 1999. Does it make sense that Bardfinn would go and marry a woman that was cucking him with another man before they even got married?

Also, this highly lucrative six-figure-a-year job managing a Y2K transition is not listed anywhere in the resume I have. Isn't this the kind of job that you'd want to stick at the very top of your resume? It's not here.

In fact, the resume I have states that Bardfinn was still in school at the University of Texas in Dallas in 1997. I highly doubt he would be given such a position a mere 2 years post graduation, at the age of 24.

Finally, two years later in 2001 he was arrested for "violent assault with a deadly weapon". Do you honestly think that someone working a serious IT job earning six figures a year would risk it all just to violently assault someone with a deadly weapon?
Here's how he described his job himself in his livejournal, though this was post 2000:


Hi! I'm Steven Akins. I am /not/ That Steven Akins, nor am I That Steven Akins, nor That Steven Akins,
nor THAT Steven Akins, not even THIS Steven Akins, nor This dude. In fact, the only two places my real name is connected to anything online any more is this livejournal, my wife's livejournal, and Amtgard!

I'm a 34 year old atheist. I was diagnosed in 2002 with Asperger's Syndrome, and have grown up adjusted to it. I spend a lot of time helping raise my five-year-old stepson and six-month old son, loving life with my wife, and beating down anxiety about the economy and whether my job will continue to exist for another year.

I don't own a car. I might buy a bicycle. /Maybe/ a moped.
I don't have a cell-phone: Fuck mobile carriers, their rates, and their willingness to install unwarranted wiretaps.
I don't have Internet from home: Fuck the telcos, their abysmal service, their abysmal transfer speeds, and their willingness to install unwarranted wiretaps.
Found one that hasn't been indicted or implicated in unwarranted wiretaps. Also, I have a wife who needs Internet access.

I work as a digital-rational / analog-irrational entity mediator, or - if you will - a Domain Ontology Liaison. This is a highly specific way of saying that I am a frustrated computer scientist working as a database goon, for a non-profit, meaning "I don't really profit".

Real programmers set the universal constants at the start such that the universe evolves to contain the disk with the data they want. Real database operators shift universes until they arrive at the one containing the tables they want.

Jumalaa tuskin on olemassa. Lopeta siis murehtiminen ja nauti elämästä.

Most of those links are dead but the ones I could see are an attorney and web developer, funny he went out of his way to disassociate himself from all those other Steven Akin. He also specifically says he does not make money. I don't know enough technical jargon to know the tl;dr of the job he's actually describing there.

Alternative bio archived from https://web.archive.org/web/20080907174735/http://finn2.livejournal.com/profile:

I'm a 32 year old atheist. I was diagnosed in 2002 with Asperger's Syndrome, and have grown up adjusted to it. I spend a lot of time listening to music on an mp3 player, or making music with my drum, or playing Guitar Hero in order to improve my left hand co-ordination, speed, and strength in preparation for trying to learn to fiddle. I haven't actively practiced Irish Trad music for over a year because of the circumstances of my life - I have found a wonderful snuggly woman who has me all to herself. She has a three-year-old son.

By the way, I think he deleted that livejournal fairly recently. It was live within the past few months. That makes me think he reads here, why else suddenly delete it after all this time? Both these links have different captures:

(extra archives bc he's delete happy)

Here's his ex wife Leah's old LJ

Idk why people are so obsessed with the child porn mythos. The admins on reddit wouldn't ban an entire subreddit just because some random throwaway accounts posted naughty illegal pictures to them a few times. They would only ban them if the mods of the subreddit approved them/let them sit there for days knowingly, and they'd have to do it more than once.

How AHS gets subreddits shut down is actually far more funny anyway. They literally sit there and read every post/comment in the sub looking for things that could be conceivably considered reportable and then report spam them to the admins. They do this every day for months. They read the subreddits they supposedly "hate" more than the normal denizens of those subs do. They are the ultimate karens who seek out problematic shit to be upset about simply so they can tattle to the admins about it.

This doesn't apply to everyone in that 'crowd'.


FreeSpeechWarrior used to go by the handle of goldf1sh. He has a long Reddit-history. He was/is not a sock of Bardfinn, and certainly was never 'dick riding' AHS. Far from it. FSW's whole deal revolves around Reddit methodically abandoning everything it was initially built upon. Their hypocrisy (motivated by profit) at every turn. And though I was usually opposed to many of his points and methods during his gallant crusade, in many ways, he was absolutely right. I actually regret giving him such a hard time for so long. For not listening or helping him to fight *some of these battles. I had the influence to make headway and I misused it.

I was suspended - again - for screwing with admins. Fuck em. And fuck anyone on Reddit that bends the knee to them.

I'm about as legit as it gets. I don't really give a damn about anyone's -isms, identities, or tribethink. Don't care. My purpose is to free Reddit of some of the extremes and underhanded agendas, regardless of which 'side' they happen to align with. Why has memes taken over where 'effort-posts' used to reign? Why has partisan politics and culture-war bullshit saturated every corner of the site?

Because of Venture Capitalist clickbux is why. Because slick algorithms have turned our attention-spans to dogshit. Cheap, reactionary engagement! And there's a whole lot of useful idiots that keep feeding this beast; "Doing it for free!", as it were.


And, no, I won't be leaking anything or provide dirt on.. whomever. But I can offer some broad insight in a few areas. For the record, I do not agree with this thread. Doxxing is never okay--even if it serves to confirm some observational assumptions about who, I believe, is operating in bad faith.

Extremely bad faith. And I'd challenge Bardfinn to a 'dEbAtE', even. I don't care how smart they think they are. Don't care about that very convenient Transgender shield, either. I'm bold; honest; suffer no one. And this is why I'm widely respected on Reddit. Plus the fact that I control some of the site's biggest subs on other accounts. I suppose that helps. Reddit Inc. has yet to make the connections, however. And they won't until I let them do so ;)
So you came to the farms because you're salty you got permabanned on the very website you've helped turn into the sensitive ban happy tumor that it is, to talk about how wrong doxing an abuser is, that you're 'not like the other jannies' and about how smart and influential you are.

Wow, so brave.

The CP rumors aren't helped by the fact that certain people have used sock accounts to post wrongthink content on subreddits to make them seem more hateful, thus contributing to their ban. It's never proven that it's AHS but typically this occurs during one of AHS's campaigns so there's a correlation. Haven't really seem it discussed lately though.

Relish this high, it's not often being an expert on reddit details is relevant to a group of people, and it isn't going to last.

I'm impressed that you're so disturbed by bardfinn's antics that you were willing to create an account here and engage. Please continue to engage, your perspective on his virtual slaughtering of countless redditors is unironically valuable to us.
