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

Absolutely nobody said that except you, and you should be embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
Eh, some one else did too but whatever. I did deep dives on all the AHS jannies before they added a bunch of subservient black ones from BPT to virtue signal, and looking at my sperg notes and under his name I noted he was Russian and likely had a doctorate in engineering or something legit, unlike all of the other fagamemnon womanface wearing jannies (except for the 1 middle aged white cunt who they used a token to pretend they were anything but antigussy times 1000). Anyway he was the only mod whose profile didn't fit the mold in what I found, so I'm actually not surprised he got ousted, thus why I'd like to hear what the goes through his retarded power mod head, if only for the pursuit of entertainment. Now give a nigga a break, damn.

Oops sorry I didn't realise you were actually one of us and Top Minds is actually one of the based mods with a doctorate.

Shadilay and praise kek, fellow white man.
 
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.

See this, this is good. Herein you take some responsibility for starting the snowball of censorship down the hill. This was, really, enough said.


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.

You are showing us that anyone who does not bend the knee to them ends up getting suspended from reddit. Do you want some kind of special consideration because the admins of reddit suspended your influential self? It seems like you do. And that's the problem Phoenix.


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?

You played a role in that for a long time. I don't know why you'd consider yourself more "legit" than any other reddit user who has been targeted by the culture warriors for elimination.


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.

Well, the Phoenix account may be suspended, but you are saying that you have many alts. So you are still on reddit doing it for free. It seems like the legitimate response to this is to walk away from reddit entirely. To not get another alt account to keep doing it for free. If you are honestly angry about all of this (because, after all, there has to be a reason that you came here) then maybe the proper response is to go to the media with information and spill your guts about what you know.
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.
This thread is about Bardfinn. It's Bardfinn who is operating in bad faith. But worse than that, Bardfinn has preyed on people on reddit. Bardfinn doxxed himself long ago because he wanted clout and to be called some expert in computer cryptology in a Fast Company article. Now Bardfinn speaks to media as an "expert" on hate on reddit. There's enough information here, Phoenix. No one would care about Bardfinn, except that Bardfinn has, himself, targeted and harassed and terrorized other redditors. One of his chief complaints is that "'moderators" are targets... but he frequently targets other moderators i.e. "I have that particular moderator in my database as a transmisic bigot." Entire teams of subreddit moderators get targeted by Bardfinn. As a mod of againsthatesubreddits you are one of the ones that helped to give Bardfinn that power. Bardfinn has taken his crusade against redditors he does not like offsite and onto his twitter. Every top mod of every subreddit he moderates should remove him and his alts from their mod teams. Maybe that would force him to get a job at Wal Mart so he can pay his child maintenance payments and avoid going to jail again.



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.
If you are respected on reddit, then do something useful and help to rid that platform of the predator called Bardfinn.



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 ;)

I hope you can see how you came to kiwifarms and were taken for a braggart.
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.

Too late, Bardfinn used the information they gleaned while modding there to add more people to their database.
SkynetJusticeWarri0r is a long-time Reddit pal of mine. I can assure you, with 100% confidence, that this account is not a Bardfinn alt.


This doesn't apply to everyone in that 'crowd'.
Again. Inasmuch as reddit hates bad cops, Bardfinn is a very rotten cop. It seems like some of you know it. So if you are in a position to remedy the situation that exists, I'd suggest you do so.

Why am I not surprised? Not just that someone he married would cheat on him ("catch" that he is), but also that he was willing to forgive it and carry on with the marriage and (shocker!) she did it again several times anyway. That's not just cucking yourself, that's tattooing "doormat" on your forehead. If your partner cheats and you stay with them anyway, they realize they can keep cheating since there will never be any consequences. And they will take full advantage of that every time. Cheaters never just cheat once.

His loser status keeps leveling up with every new reveal.
 
"Please keep in mind as you post, that we have a rule against bigotry. Unscientific gibberish like "there are only two genders" gets you banned. The facts are: Gender is a word from linguistics ported over to biology last century when a term was needed to describe the social roles related to and derived from, but not synonymous with sex."

So gender is a role that society assigns to you? According to that logic, if enough people call you a useless faggot, it's true.

Well...
I've taken multiple courses in sociology. The way professors here (Central Europe) taught it sex is biological and immutable - exceptions like intersex conditions are that, exceptions. Gender is a set of values society assigns to either sex. Stereotypes, rules, roles, whatever - from the way you're supposed to look to the work you're supposed to do, things like that. A sort of consensus reality that's enforced the same way as etiquette for example. I think this is the closest to the "original" feminist theory on gender.

Gender correlates with sex, but isn't equal to it, despite anything and everything modern activism says to the contrary.

So, by that reasoning, yes, you're absolutely right. If enough people call redditors worthless faggots they are worthless faggots.
 
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 think that many people came to Kiwifarms because of the Aimee Challenor story. That was a shitshow. It revealed that not only did reddit hire a new admin who had been kicked out of two political parties in the UK for being tolerant to pedos but that this admin may have been groomed from the age of 14 on reddit by a prominent moderator of trans subs. Including some for young lgbt people. Simply firing Challenor did not get rid of the issue. It revealed an ugly underbelly of furry diaper fetishist possible pedos in mod positions at reddit.

No one cares about the "trans" angle, it's the pedo thing that got people angry enough to act. Againsthatesubreddits made a sticky post agreeing that Challenor should have been fired, but they also ... and unforgivably, imo, attacked the user Blank Cheque who led the reddit protest against Challenor. Subreddits of all kinds came together to take a stand and shut down and demand action from reddit. Againsthatesubreddits called the organizer a clout chaser and a transphobe and said that the "powermods" know the best way to handle reddit and there should have been a quiet letter sent to the admins about Challenor.

Do we really think a quiet letter expressing concern to the reddit administrators would have gotten Challenor fired? Againsthatesubreddits admits constantly that it is only media attention that causes admins to take action and in this case, action was urgently required, yes? There's an open detransitioner on twitter that talks about how Bardfinn tried to step in and redditrequest "detrans" a support subreddit for people who have regrets about attempting transition. Literally a vulnerable community of people.

Apparently it was around the time they may have hired Challenor that the gender critical subreddits were targeted. Subreddits for cis lesbians that refuse the girldick were banned. Now r/moderatepolitics doesn't even allow any submissions about transgender issues because too many of their users were being targeted even while having a civil conversation. Subredditdrama (how it's more special than r/drama I will never understand) allowed the Challenor story and then one of its mods said that suddenly months-old comments there were being targeted with reports. Askgaybros is now being targeted by againsthatesubreddits because they are gay men who don't want the vag. This is what againsthatesubreddits has become. Lacking actual hatred to combat, they are now trying to police people's opinions on "controversial" subjects...and persecuting cis women and gay women and gay men. This is why many in the LGBT community want to shove the T out of the back of the bus.




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.

Good luck. There's a screenshot of dubteedub saying that the dox on Bardfinn is "false doxx". You know that it isn't. You know that this moderator has been so sketchy and terrible that it makes complete sense that they are a literal wife-beater ducking out on maintenance payments for their child. This isn't a scientist retired on the money from very important patents. This isn't an expert on Nazis. This is a delusional narcissist predator. And when real life put the crunch on them being an abusive asshole in real life, they just made a home on reddit.


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.

When I searched r/drama for bardfinn content, I quickly discovered that people can't even say the name there. Now, Bardfinn has repeatedly and often used the names of other redditors to label/libel them, but he gets special protection from r/drama naming the lolcow. It seems like they can't even talk about events on reddit anymore. I guess too much talking about the "special protected moderators" will get a subreddit into trouble although it seems like places like subredditdrama/againsthatesubreddits/topmindsofreddit can focus on reddit and individual redditors as much as they wish to. This sort of thing leaves people thinking that the reddit admins have special protections for "pet" moderators. Even as they openly act like predators.

By the way, since you came here, Phoenix, I'm giving you the respect of the discussion that you wanted. But the point of this is that Bardfinn is the most visible mod of againsthatesubreddits and takes joy in being lauded as a Nazi/TERF hunter. They celebrate the subreddits that they get shuttered. They even had a list at one point of the responses from anti evil operations of the redditors they were getting suspended based on posting on superstraight. And based on their comments about thinking that anyone who supported Trump is a literal fascist and their comment about wanting every registered Republican voter (Trump-supporting or not) charged and tried with sedition, he is never going to stop. This is not a reasonable person and it's the person that you and people like you have chosen to uphold as a paragon of hate-hunting virtue on reddit. The virtual abuser is an abuser in real life, too. None of you should be surprised.

Again, if you really wield the power on reddit that you claim to wield, the best thing that you and the other powermods could do is to de-mod Bardfinn and his alts from all of the active subreddits he mods. He lives with his parents. He doesn't pay his child maintenance and it's rising to the level of a federal crime. In fact, it seems like it's there. You should fire your janny so that your janny can go to work at Wal Mart. Due to the criminal record they might not rise to the level of cashier, but maybe they can be an actual janny and that would be 100% more respectable than the shit Bardfinn slings on reddit daily. He lives with parents that he hates and libels and condemns online all the time. I very much hope one of them isn't the next victim of his domestic violence, since they seem to be elderly. Get him off reddit so he's forced to get a real job. You'd help him and his child. Hell, Wal Mart can call him an "executive sanitation subject matter expert."

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.



Gee... it's such a mystery, isn't it?

Someone compared Steven Akins to Lavrentiy Beria. The comparison is unfair to Beria, who despite his personal foibles, was really good at his job. Nobody is actually afraid of Steven, he will continue to sperg on Reddit as long as he has the protection of the Reddit staff.

Anybody expecting a grand reckoning and downfall arc for Bardfinn needs to take a look at the John "Brianna" Wu thread for a better comparison.

Wu is a absurd and obvious liar. He presents himself a a bootstrapped woman engineer and the #1 biggest victim of gamergate. The reality is he grew up wealthy, spent 10 years in school without obtaining a degree, blew $400,000 of his parents money on a failed animation studio and faked his own harassment so ineptly the other antigamergate cows had to distance themselves from him.

A google search would reveal John as a laughingstock. But, the New York Times, NPR's Morning Edition and All things Considered treat his claims as 100% factual.

Right now the league of trolls are looking for a journalist like Charlie Warzel or Anna Cox to gargle Steven's balls and tell the world what an amazing civil rights crusader he is. When that article comes out the world will hear about how Steven is a retired tech millionaire who uses his elite coding skills to track Nazis like a modern Simon Wiesenthal.

People think the truth is the ultimate argument. It is not. The average person doesn't have time or motivation to look into these niche subjects. That enables people like Wu to tell lies with the power of the Times behind him. Anyone who speaks out should expect to be smeared as a Nazi or worse. Maybe this will mark the end of Bardfin's crusade, but if he goes away there are dozens of crazy jannies ready to take over. Bardfin is just a symptom of a problem you are enabling by supporting reddit.
 
Here's how he described his job himself in his livejournal, though this was post 2000:
OMG, these LiveJournal entries are a riot! Thank you so much for this!

Let's have a look at what Bardfinn was saying about himself on LiveJournal 10 years ago in the midst of his Natsee hunting career:

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.

"because of the circumstances of my life", if ya know ya know! LMAO!
Pretty sure there was more mental illness going on with this guy than just assburgers, but who am I to diagnose him? Why, I am prof. dr. Nyky Snottrans, Highly Advanced Specialist in Online Bullshitters, Yolo class of 2012, so you'd better not question my expert assessment or you'll get an "Actual Nykysnottransmisic" tag in my secret database.

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.

OMG, reading this with the benefit of hindsight and knowing that he already had a criminal record this long by then...

There are times when my child is so beautiful that my brain says "Here is a sculpted babydoll - there are no human children this beautiful. Surely I am gazing upon an uncanny thing; Humanity is not so perfect."

OMG, I just threw up in my mouth. He thinks his child is a homunculus, not a real person. Exactly the kind of fetishization of children I would expect from a TRA that wants to keep them in that state forever with PPs. And remember, this is the child that L. was holding in her arms and was trying to hold away from Barfinn while he was assaulting her and her son.

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".

Here you can see where the "I'm a retired computer science researcher" bullshit emerged from. Just because he spent a few years in academia, he assumes that he gets to call himself a scientist for the rest of his life. In reality he's just a database goon who have has and never will work in academia.

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.

Except now he's only a "database operator" as a self-imposed chore while moderating some subreddits where, he continues to lie about being a retired scientist in order to deflect questions about what he's been doing his all this data he has mass-cyberstalked from all these Redditors he insists are Natsees and deserving of the cyberstalking and secret datamining.

Here's Bardfinn great contribution to computer science in 2009: help desk phone support!

BardfinnDoesPhoneSupport.jpg

What can I say, at least back then he was still willing to do help desk phone support to provide for his family. Now he can't even be arsed to do that. LARPing at being trans and a Natsee hunter while cyberstalking everyone on Reddit just takes up too much of his time.

Quoting from some other LJ entries:

Arbitrary censorship and booting of writers and artists because their content is unpopular, and an inability to deal promptly with copyright violations and stalking and harassment. Having been stalked and harassed by an asshole from Australia with BPD and a paranoid ideation that he needed my (dis)approval to validate his identity, I basically closed shop here on LJ and closed down to friends-only. His account was eventually suspended, after he got ramped up to performing blatantly criminal acts towards others.

"performing blatantly criminal acts towards others.", look who's talking. Also, look at him getting others suspended on LJ as well. All he ever did on the internet is find people to snitch on, whether he was on Reddit or on some other platform. Like I said, he's merely replaced his drug addiction with a snitching addiction.

Look at this shit, this is literally how he writes his responses on Reddit when he's mad, he was already using this writing style back then on LJ:

Well, I am sure you'll have no trouble finding some drugs to mail around in the name of "Prof. Dr. Nyky Snottrans Yolo Class of 2012", if your criminal record is any indiction, LMAO!

And here ladies and gentle is how self-styled Antifa Bardfinn really feels about the LE he is trying to sic on us:

This "legal" behaviour of the police doesn't serve justice, and it doesn't make a society where we can be confident that our lives will be able to be free from a government thug killing us, having wittingly or unwittingly mistaken us for an actual criminal.

And I'll make sure to pass this particular statement along to, quote, the "government thugs" of the FBI when they come for me, thanks to Bardfinn mailing around bags of drugs in my name, LMAO. Make sure to spell "prof. dr. Nyky Snottrans" correctly on the envelope, or you will still get a tag in my database for being "Nykysnottransmisic".

Anyone ever figure out what his fixation on Finlan is about?
I don’t speak an iota of Finnish, but I’m willing to bet that whatever this says is Google translated.

I’m going to guess that just like Tardfinn using British spellings of words, he’s using (Google translated) Finnish as a way to seem “cultured” or “sophisticated” or just rub it in that he’s so smart because he “speaks” another language. Why he couldn’t have just said it in English is beyond me.

Why it’s Finland instead of any other of the two-hundred-odd countries that exist, that might require some more digging to get a better understanding of.
 
r/drama was only reason I had account on reddit. It wasn't flawless but it was genuinely only place that felt fun. They had a lot of dramatic happenings like banning every user that had at least a dozen posts on r/teenagers with ban message "underage" and watch whole lots of pedos poping up in DM explaining that they are actually 30, 40, 50 years old.

Now it is a ghost town. Admins told jannies that fun is no longer allowed and they have to play along. They should have put entire sub down and die with honor.

Haha holy shit I missed this. I'm glad people look at the stuff I post because I don't actually look at all of it.

So according to him he went from 6 figures managing a y2k transition in 1999, to tier 1 phone support in 2009? And I had to look this up because I wasn't sure but tier 1 isn't good. It's the lowest level of tech support. It's the guy that tells you to try unplugging it and plugging it back in again, and when that doesn't work he sends you to someone smarter. Amazing.

I did. And I will stand by that comparison as one more applicable than the Nazi comparison someone else gave. Steve is willing to torment anyone that stands in the way of transcommunism. Steve keeps a list of redditors guilty of things and guilt by association like Beria did.
