And his free speech supporters, even suprised the Misogynist, Racist Troll himself..... You can read the entire thing here:

Here is the most interesting part of the article to me (but do yourself a favor and read the entire thing):

Having his screenname mangled by Anderson Cooper on CNN for Jailbait was Violentacrez's biggest moment as a troll, but it wasn't his first time in the spotlight. Since Brutsch stumbled on Reddit from a link on the internet culture blog Boing Boing in 2007, he has pushed the boundaries of Reddit's free-speech culture. He has done this mostly through creating offensive subreddits to troll sensitive users. Some of the sections Violentacrez created or moderated were called:

Chokeabitch
Niggerjailbait
Rapebait
Hitler
Jewmerica
Misogyny
Incest

You can look those up on Reddit and visit them if you'd like to ruin your day, but the content is self-explanatory.

Unlike Jailbait, which apparently sprung from a sincere interest, many of Violentacrez's most offensive subreddits were created just to enrage other Reddit users. At this they were very effective. What happened was, some do-gooder would stumble upon one of his offensive subreddits and expose it to the rest of Reddit in an outraged post. Then thousands more would vote the thing to the front page of Reddit. Cries to censor it would sound out, to be almost inevitably beaten back by cries of "free speech!" The idea of free speech is sacred to many Reddit users, a product of the free-wheeling online message board culture from which Reddit springs. If you criticize someone else for posting something you don't like, you are a whiny fascist.
Violentacrez explained his trolling philosophy to the internet culture website the Daily Dot in August of 2011. He had sparked yet another controversy by posting a graphic image of a partially clothed woman being brutally beaten by a large man, in "beatingwomen," a subreddit dedicated to glorifying violence against women. A Redditor had called out the picture in a post, and it was voted to the front page.

"People take things way too seriously around here," Violentacrez said. " I was not surprised by the outrage of the person who made the post, because I see it all the time. What was surprising was the community support for it. Most posts that complain about these things never do very well, and are quickly buried or deleted. I think it's interesting how many people defend my right to act the way I do, while decrying my posts themselves."

1. Oh, I didn't notice you'd posted this here.

I linked to the GD thread about this in another thread.

This issue may be a turning point. I hope so.

It is interesting to me that this particular creep used the fact that underage female pop stars are sexualized to sell product as a defense for his actions... he doesn't think 'this is messed up', he uses it as a rationalization and asks why what he did is wrong. At least in Britney Spears' case, she had a say (however influenced or informed it was)... These girls he and his fellow perverts prey on have no say at all.

2. What interested me the most was the dynamic

that people were so willing to defend his "free speech" rights and squelched out the voices of those who were a bit more, I say, sensitive to the misogynistic/racist bullshit this guy was spewing.

Those "free speechers" were bullies imho. hmmmmm.......

Were they any better than him? Maybe, but they allowed this disgusting freak a voice. A voice of a disgusting person who thinks it was ok to perform oral sex on his teenage step daughter.

3. Oh yes, the people who defend treating women's bodies like public property, because freedom.

The 'well I don't like it but shut up because freedom' types.

They seem very libertarian. Society is supposed to protect those who need it... those being preyed on rather than the predators, so to speak.

4. He's an asshole

I'd hate to see what's stored on his hard drive, but I'd bet he'd to prison for it.
