It's actually kind of amazing, the modern day media has lifted shamelessly the exact attitude of intolerance and hostility that used to be targeted strictly at people of color in the 60s, and now are targeting people of opinions today. Armed with their vocabulary of loaded words like "troll", "racist", "sexist", and "shitlord", they just as readily label, harass, and even destroy people (i.e. wreck their careers, get them fired, etc.) as those crazy mobs half a century ago in the south. There's no consideration for context, individuality, intention, or circumstance; you recognize a woman is different from a man = you're a sexist. You question diversity = you're a troll. You bring up crime statistics = you're a racist. And the hilarious thing is, the "trolls" didn't even "win". Reddit's new CEO is implementing even stricter censorship measures, all of it most likely in the hopes of making reddit more appealing for advertisers. If you stand back and look at this whole fiasco from a distance, Reddit higher-ups want to make more money, and in order to do so, they decide they need to curb their more "unsightly" elements. But attacking free speech is a dicey proposition, so what do they do? They hire a woman and make her do it. If redditors are dumb sheep and take it quietly, great. If not, wrap the whole thing around her neck and throw her under the bus (reminds you of the Bourne Trilogy deson't it), then come riding in on a white horse to "save" reddit from "chairman Pao". And so far, it's working perfectly. The "trolls" celebrate their victory by having the sensationalist media blast them on their sexism, Pao's reputation is utterly destroyed and she's essentially too toxic to employ anywhere, and Reddit still gets to wipe the floor with free speech.
