Every video I watch, every snippet I see and every interview I read about Ellen Pao induces a hatred I haven't felt for someone in a long time. It's not an implicit hatred like I would have for a murderer, psychopath or a bully. No, it's a lot more nuanced than that. It's the same type of hatred that you get when someone cuts you in line at the supermarket. That type of anger that induces a little whence in the back of your neck and a shiver of anger echoing through the vestiges of your body. That anger stems from my feeling that she's the personification of all the ills of society. She represents the corporate greed corroding the foundations of the things I love, the person looking for a handout, the one who's always looking to blame others instead of their own ineptitude, the person quick to use lawyers and sue instead of having a personal conversation. She's an adulterer and a liar and she's abused the goodwill of our society for her own personal gain. In short, she's the type to cut her piece of the pie from the middle and still get mad when you eat the crust. And it's these very things about her that represents the moral decay I despise. I honestly can say this with a straight face. I despise her. I don't wish her any physical harm because I'm not that type of person, but I just wish she would disappear from this website and by proxy my life in general. She needs to be fired; since she's held the position of CEO bad things have happened here. Negative things. It's time Reddit shed her and move on. Go away Pao. EDIT: Thanks for the gold (I guess?). At the end of the day Reddit is just a website, but for me and many others we've spent a lot of time here and have a lot invested in the culture. If things don't work out then I will eventually go to another website. Not a terribly big deal. But I guess metaphorically speaking, it would be the same thing if the CEO of NASCAR decided to enact rules that went against the culture of the fans. They'd be pissed right? And the only people who would be trivializing their emotions would be those that weren't big NASCAR fans to begin with. So I get that many people wouldn't understand. But to the dude who's been wearing the same Dale Earnhardt Jr T-shirt to the Daytona 500 for the last 15 years he's gonna be pissed and I guess in some ways that's me. I'm flawed, I shouldn't be this invested, but that's just me.
