Here's the problem: this is what the world sees.

Common refrains-

- Redditors are awful

- Reddit admins have no ability to deal with them

- Why ban fatpeoplehate but not eleventy-seven more heinous subs

- Southern Poverty Law Center's "most hateful place on the Internet"

It's an absolute PR debacle that anyone with a pair of binoculars could have seen coming from beyond the orbit of Saturn. Reddit Inc. doesn't give a shit about their users and never have. But this is highly visible to any potential VC firms or business partners, and it is not helping them.
