Ex-Reddit CEO tries to make ‘free speechers’ a bad word, but Twitter isn’t having it

Ellen K. Pao, the former CEO of social news aggregation site Reddit, shared a horribly derogatory message she presumably received in order to try to paint those who believe in free speech with the same broad brush.

Apparently, Pao believes that if you’re a “free-speecher,” a term that she seemingly wants to make sound derogatory itself, you just want to say racist things without getting in trouble.

In an ironic twist, she also claims that they “really don’t care about sharing new ideas or encouraging freedom other than the freedom to harass other people off the platform,” despite this being a tactic of those who oppose free speech.

Twitter wasn’t about to let her get away with her intellectual laziness, however:

  1. This joke of a woman really makes me angry that I shed my blood, and watched friends die, to give her the right to say something that obscene. Without free speech, this country turns into her homeland and favorite totalitarian state, China, with no free speech. I am using my free speech, which I fought for, to tell her to go fornicate with herself.

  2. She doesn’t believe in free speech… she believes in government controlled speech… just like when she lived in Red China.

  3. If this is the case then we need to rewind back to the 60s when we were told we had to tolerate all the BULLS**T coming from the communist POSs because our constitution allows for FREEDOM OF SPEECH no matter how much it may offend. they should all be silenced per their own beliefs in not allowing free speech. How’s that miss chinese communist POS?!!!!!!

    1. IN 1970 I was in New Haven and there happened to be an anti war rally, with thousands in attendance. I was having lunch at a fast food place. By chance, I had a booth to myself in a crowded restaurant. 2 men asked if they could join. I said fine. They happened to be Abby Hoffman and Tom Hayden. We started a conversation and it rapidly seemed that we had diametrically opposing viewpoints on the war, but rather than shut each other off, we continued to talk.After talking for about 1/2 hour it turned out our viewpoints had a lot of overlap, like none of us wanting to fight a war to protect big rubber interests, which is all Vietnam was.
      The object of this story is that we all agreed that more conversation, not less, is the key to solving problems, and finding out that many of those things we think we disagree on, we really don’t Both of those would be totally dismayed with the left wing totalitarians, like this female dog, trying to shut down and demonize free speech.

  4. It’s hard to believe how stupid some people are??
    If she has a degree?
    She needs to give it back, or burn it!;;

  5. Another communist Chinese dictating to her new country what she believes, not the standards and beliefs of the country she has come to snd brings her communist ways.

  6. She just stereotyped millions of people who believe in free speech, called them names said they were ignorant with her own free speech. Incredibly obtuse.

  7. At the end of the day Ellen doesn’t want to have to listen to anything she disagrees with. This racist business is just a smokescreen because she can’t come up with a cogent argument against actual free speech.

    But she is able to look the other way when it comes to sex trafficking. Speaks volumes to her character, or lack thereof.

    1. But she has no problem with the way China treats its minorities, like the Uigers.

  8. Look at that smug puss of hers. Any one who attempts to cancel free speech or censor someone should have the same done to them.
