The most disgusting posting I have seen is by our good friends the yellow journalists trying to weave there 'Reddit is misogynist' narrative. While Redditors are upset that Pao fires perhaps the most competent and well liked woman working at Reddit.

Urinalism is largely discredited at this point due to there bias and agenda.

Redditors do not know anything about who works at Reddit, so they could not possibly be upset at the firing of "the most competent person". Most well liked public facing one to some people who read one of the subreddits, sure.

Protip: it's their, not there.

Protip: If you have to resort to attacking someones grammar when you're out of counter arguments it means you lost the debate.

We can't all be winners.

If that isn't a pointlessly antagonistic thing to say, I don't know what is.

Urinalism sounds like a (sadly, apparently discredited) singular, though!

Victoria was beloved despite the fact she was a woman, not necessarily because of it. I understand what you're trying to say, but it doesn't really hold up.

Should somebody be like because of their gender? Isn't that outrageously sexist?

I never said someone should be liked because of their gender. It's just that using Victoria as a defense for Reddit's consistently juvenile view of women doesn't really work.

Well isn't that a convenient narrative? Any woman the community likes is despite the fact she's a woman. Anyone they dislike is because she's a woman. The outrage writes itself!

It's not entirely inaccurate.
