It seems our forum has been graced by yet another heifer. For those who don't know about him already meet Reuben Baron
Reuben's existence first became known when he attempted to interview Jace regarding alleged threats made against Brianna Wu, the result was disastrous (see kiwifarm thread here). Shortly after the interview was posted to the forums Reuben agreed to a Q&A here on the forums using an account that he had originally created to glean more information about Jace.
So that's how we know about him but here is where it gets REALLY good. Turns out that Reuben is an Otherkin, SJW, Autist, with a film+anime+fanbom obsession and a long history on the internet. I feel we have just scratched the surface of what Reuben G Baron has to offer but here some highlights.
an indiegogo sponsored short film he wrote and directed. it's painfully cringey but it's worth getting through for the horribly hilarious ending IMO
a section in ED's "Otakukin" article dedicated to his exploits in an Otherkin community (spoiler: he was an anime character in a past life)

Other members have already posted a bunch of quality content in the interview thread (i encourage you to read through it). I tried to get the highlights of what has been found so far apologies if i missed anything i should have included

Has anybody read his "good girl" review? He seriously disliked it because a female protagnist could be mentally unhinged. I'm not joking. Here are some quotes:
http://the-lfb.com/2014/10/05/gone-girl-the-new-favorite-movie-of-terrible-people/
A dude who literally pedastalizes feminist propaganda can't handle, a semi-realistic character that doesn't conform to stereotypes he believes. If he was a true feminist or just a person with sane world views. He would know that women like Amy really do exist and it's not just MRA/PUA/REDPILL propaganda. What should I expect from this dude? He's literally a pawn of Brianna Wu. Johnny boy couldn't give two shits about him since his Steam Greenlit page has opened up.
I just woke up from a nap, scanning over those links as lazily as possible, and I already found editorial errors within seconds. This guy claims to be an intern script reader? He wants to write reviews for a living? His reviews are 3 paragraphs each. It's not that hard to reread them.
(Am I reading this one wrong or does it make no sense?)
I also appreciate how nice he is to his previous employers on his livejournal, especially this post. Apparently being a pirate for a children's boat ride is a scarring enough experience to write a movie script about.

I found how he rushes to Israel's defense. Is there something about criticism of Israel and criticism of lying professional victims online that draws losers like this to their defense? Could Israel be the state which accurately represents people like Brianna Wu? Or maybe they just really strongly encourage young upcoming Jews to vouch for Israel being a good country after their free trip and beautiful free tour of Israel while no doubt avoiding the Gaza Strip.

He's also the Knight in Shining Armor for the non-government alphabet soup crowd who can't speak for themselves.

Great thread and even better questions till this point.
@Reuben G. Baron I would like you to explain these videos:
Btw, I just downloaded your entire youtube channel for archivistic purposes and as a precaution if they disappear.
WHAT THE FUCK.
He was crying about it on facebook as of an hour ago.

I rarely feel so much contempt for another human being.
Here's a post where he talks about when he chimped out, causing his school cafeteria to get evacuated. Reuben Baron is quick to blame his autism for his mistakes and problems.
So apparently this whole otherkin/otakukin thing with him originated with an obsession with Himura Kenshin, the protagonist in Rurouni Kenshin. His post to the Otaku boards talking about his burgeoning interest in otherkin got exactly one response, expressing doubt about the validity of otherkin. http://www.otakuboards.com/index.php?/topic/37206-otakukin/
Okay, this kid is confirmed shitlord. In an "if you were to go to Japan thread" he said:
Emphasis mine.

So I've completed my review of Reuben's postings on that forum. The only interesting parts have already been posted. Much of the rest deals with (1) sperging over dubs vs. subs (he prefers dubs, even Eva dubs); (2) sperging over people classifying some Japanese animation not counting as anime; (3) sperging about FMA, Cowboy Bebop, Naruto, Eva, GITS, anything by Miyazaki, and a variety of other highly mainstream shit; and (4) assorted awkward posting that gets no replies.
Probably the most interesting and relevant post I found is this, which I'd characterize as transphobia and shitlordery crystallized:

ETA: Oh yes, and he hates the Yaoi fandom.
ETA2: And here's his powerlevel as of early 2006: https://archive.today/wGrgG
So we have a weird sperg who thinks too highly of himself showing his ass and getting mocked on a public forum... and wouldn't you know it, there's a Glavin user at WrongPlanet who bares a startling resemblance to our young hero! (if this is incorrect my apologies for confusing you @Reuben G. Baron with another bisexual autistic furry otherkin who hates neurotypicals and live in Massachusetts)
Reuban's wonderful introductory post!
Let's check all those boxes shitlords
Our brilliant boy is an excellent persausive writer and script writers... if only he wrote novels he could be a thinner @Connor
His views on protesting and "making a difference" have been around since he was 13, and since autists hate change... guess he's always going to be an obnoxious jerk trying to be a social justice vigilante
Otherkin sperging
"I am offended by your satire of which I laughed at, and I hope you are not offended by this"
lol, I can't even follow his insult - what is he trying to say?
A common theme on wrongplanet is the "well meaning neurotypicals don't understand I'm a legit sped and refuse to change any of my bad habits, including the ones that make me act out in foolish ways" if only you listened to your younger sister Reuben
"[Reuban G Baron] hates [neurotypical] people with a passion"
And on a personal note...
