He moderated Jailbait. Never forget.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He kind of looks like he would mod the jailbait sub…

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Isn't there enough to criticize about spez without attacking his appearance? I know plenty of people who look similar to him, most of them aren't pedophiles.

[–] red@feddit.de 28 points 2 years ago

Yea, I'm not a pedophile just because I look like that. I mean, I am a pedophile, but NOT because I look like that!

(For legal reasons, this is a joke.)

Let's not go there, we don't need to judge people based on their appearances

[–] aaron@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm out of the loop - what sub is this referring to?

Sry if this is a dumb question, but what is Jailbait?

[–] em2@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Communities devoted to explicit material saw rising popularity, and r/jailbait, which featured provocative shots of underage teenagers, became the chosen "subreddit of the year" in the "Best of reddit" user poll in 2008, and at one point, making "jailbait" the second most common search term for the site.

From banned subreddit section.

So in other words... CP...

[–] demonen@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well, teeeeeechnically not, as there was no sexual interaction and no full nudity.

However, if someone is explaining how they're technically not comitting a felony, they should probably stop.

Borderline, not that it makes it any better.

[–] TWeaK@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

It was supposed to be borderline, ie 18+ models who just looked like they were underage. However there were lots of underage girls posted on there, and indeed the word literally means "a tempting but illegally underage girl" - they're bait, and if you try to do anything with them you'll go to jail.

[–] monsterlynn 4 points 2 years ago

Jailbait is a term usually applied to teen girls under the age of consent that the user of the term finds sexually attractive.

They are so desirable sexually that you would persue sexual relations with them regardless of the legal penalties that might be involved.

So, in classic blaming the victim terms, these girls are "baiting" you to wind up in jail, as if you are some zombified, helpless, spellbound victim that must satisfy your desire.

This fits my idea of his personality so well that it isn't even humorous

Fuck The_Donald but this guy is such a piece of shit man. Every tech bro CEO has an ego like glass.

[–] dark_shines11@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Does Bill Gates count as a tech bro as he's the only exception I can think of.

To succeed in tech I guess you have to have some ego, but they really do seem to be overwhelmingly children about everything.

[–] PascalSausage 7 points 2 years ago

He’s more of a tech grandad.

[–] yozul 1 points 2 years ago

I think techbro doesn't really start until the 90s when people started seeing how colossally wealthy people like Bill Gates got, and decided to learn how to trick rich investors that didn't know anything about technology out of their money because "they could be the next Bill Gates" and rich old white guys didn't know any better.

[–] em2@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I wholeheartedly agree. On all points.

[–] monsterlynn 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] PascalSausage 2 points 2 years ago

True, glass can be tough under some circumstances.
