Is it really so weird that Spez, the guy who ran the jailbait subreddit, is a piece of shit?

Nah. He didn't run it, he was made a mod apparently. I think he didn't delete himself as mod for whatever reason, did notice maybe? Who knows. But it didn't last long after that.

But he did give the person running it some unique award, again apparently. As i'm just going off of what other people said.

Yet many people on here get death threats, threats, harassment and nothing is done "It's not breaking rules". But then a lot of those people who complain are trans and apparently they don't matter and harassment rules are exempt when it's against them.

As much as people shit on other social media, reddit is just as bad.
