Oh, please, this was about way more than sexism and racism on her part. She's not a victim, and even if the terrible decisions made by Reddit were not done by her hand alone or even at all, she knew what she was getting into stepping up as CEO of a company. Not to mention, many of her comments and subsequent actions were pure hypocrisy versus what Reddit championed back before rampant censorship and silencing became par for the course.

No one deserves to be attacked and threatened online, but that's just par for the course with literally any public figure. Let's not make her out to be some victim of angry racist misogynists when it's clearly obvious it's about more than that.
