Here is Bardfinn once again trying to convince people that the evidence shown in the AHS whistleblower's video was fabricated:
Here's a little mental exercise for you.
I reasonably believe that you are referring to a series of screenshots which purport to show me sending death threats, doxxing threats, and other violent wishes to a specific user by the handle of u/KarmaBot000 -- correct?
And the "previous member of your "team"" line refers to a specific YouTube video, right?
Here's the deal:
Those were faked by /r/coomer and /r/tapewormcentral's neoNazis.
The accounts involved in falsely claiming child-porn-brigading, and the r/tapewormcentral and r/coomer subreddits (and others in their ecosystem), have been suspended from Reddit;
The people they've accused of "brigading with child porn" -- i.e., me and others at r/AgainstHateSubreddits — have not been suspended.
Anyone rational can see what happened was an attempt to smear anti-racist, anti-bigot activists who have an extremely effective track record in kicking hatred off of Reddit and cleaning up the site.
Further, those people participating in and platforming these false allegations — resulting in huge volumes of false reports of sexual exploitation of minors — are engaged in a massive effort to overload Reddit's legally mandated reporting of child sexual exploitation activity.
Every person repeating the "SJWs brigaded us with child porn" lie is complicit in denying the victims of child sex exploitation a necessary lifeline to help them escape unimaginable torture and abuse, of starving abused kids of humanitarian help.

I literally don't know what the hell this is in reference to and have to my knowledge never seen this alleged screenshot (If anyone has it please post it or send it to me so I can see it for myself). I do know that Bardfinn once threatened to rape an /r/Drama user until they pass out, and later told another /r/Drama user to stick an explosive up their ass. That definitely qualifies as "violent wishes" in my book. I don't know what happened with this other user KarmaBot000 but in the context of Bardfinn's aforementioned /r/Drama comments, I consider Bardfinn perfectly capable of sending out verbally aggressive or outright threatening messages to random Redditors that he feels have wronged him somehow.
"The people they've accused of "brigading with child porn" -- i.e., me and others at r/AgainstHateSubreddits — have not been suspended.",
1) This statement assumes that the AHS whistleblower actually bothered to report Bardfinn and AHS to Reddit for the "practice" described in the video. This assumption is dead wrong on three counts:
It assumes that Bardfinn & Co use their regular Reddit accounts to perform these brigades, making these brigades easily traceable back to their accounts. However, I have already shown that Bardfinn lies about not having alternative accounts on Reddit, and that he (by his own public admission) maintains at least two other known alts. It's only logical to infer from this that Bardfinn wouldn't carry out brigades as "Bardfinn" but rather using some other yet unknown sockpuppet account or several such sockpuppet accounts.
This statement assumes and implies that the AHS whistleblower reported Bardfinn & Co to Reddit. However, the conversation shown in the AHS whistleblowers' video did not take place on Reddit but on another platform, namely on Discord. Reddit can easily brush any complaint aside by saying that they have no jurisdiction over what redditors do or discuss off-site on another platform like Discord. In fact, it's very likely that AHS would use Discord for such discussions in order to compartmentalize their activities so as to not jeopardize their main prescence on Reddit. (For example, AHS would avoid having such discussions over Reddit's chat or Private messaging system, because then Reddit would have an obligation to take action since such organizing is shown to be happening on their site.) We obviously don't know whether the AHS whistleblower reported whatever was going on to Discord itself - indeed, this is a relevant question that Bardfinn here tries to dodge. Bardfinn insists - against all evidence (more on that later) - that he doesn't even have a Discord account, so perhaps his Discord account was actually reported and suspended? I guess we're not supposed to probe into Discord's own culpability in enabling any of this "activity" that is eventually taken to and culminated on Reddit itself.
It's hard to tell how old people are from how they sound online in a video but the AHS whistleblower definitely sounds young and as someone who is easily intimidated by a much older person. I can't tell how young exactly, I do know that I myself didn't learn how to write a formal complaint until the ages of 19-20. Had I before those ages experienced something online that necessitated the writing of a formal complaint, I simply wouldn't know how and hence would very likely not have submitted a complaint at all, not knowing how to go about writing one or what I should say or include in one. Expecting some random teenager to know how to write or submit a comprehensive complaint to Reddit, detailing the very convoluted story that was told and shown in the AHS whistleblower's video, only this time in a completely textual formal without the aid of video (and remember, the younger generations online are mostly visual, not textual), that is a little too much to ask for of a young and apparently frightened person. The fact is that most teenagers (and even adults) online just don't know how to write a formal complaint in a way that an adult Reddit Admin would take it seriously. This seniority aspect of online usage is something that Bardfinn consistently uses against his targets, knowing that they are for the most part decades younger than himself. Reddit is NOT a level playing field in that regard. In fact, the whole karma system is designed to make sure that Reddit never becomes a level playing field for new and young redditors being targeted by older supermods with seniority (and connections) who already know the ropes.
With regards to Bardfinn's insistence that he doesn't even have a Discord account, that claim was already debunked here. Bardfinn has had a Discord account as "Penelope" at least since 2018 - as he has openly admitted in a couple of Reddit comments where he refers to logging into Discord - and had at one point even posted a screenshot of himself logged into a Discord server as "Penelope". Now why would Bardfinn against all evidence continue to lie about not even having an account on Discord? (Please consider this particular lie in the context of all the other lies he has told about himself.)
2) Well, duh, of course Reddit not going to suspend Barfinn or anyone at AHS, as Reddit explicitly agree with what AHS have been doing. Remember, Reddit Admins recently allowed Bardfinn to openly hijack /r/detrans and brag about doing so - openly mocking the /r/detrans moderators saying he waited until they were sleep to do it - with no disciplinary consequences whatsoever. Even if Reddit somehow didn't agree which what AHS are doing, it would be too much of a scandal for Reddit to admit that this "practice" - the deliberate planting of CP by SJW vigilantes on subreddits they want to make disappear - has been happening on their website right under their noses, which they've systemically allowed to occur in the name of "fighting Nazis online". If Reddit ever admitted to CP habitually being posted on their site in the context of organized vigilante brigades, then they would have to get the FBI involved, and the FBI would eventually have to look into the specific nature of the relationship between AHS and Bardfinn, AHS and the League of Extraordinary Trolls, League Trolls and Bardfinn, and Bardfinn and Reddit. Obviously Reddit don't want any of that coming out, lest people see their suspicions of Reddit's favouritism towards AHS and their nepotism towards Bardfinn himself independently confirmed.
Let me state for the record that the reason why I personally tend to believe the AHS whistleblower (about being asked to plant CP on enemy subreddits that AHS want to see gone) is this: I myself have researched Bardfinn independently and discovered that he was constantly telling lies and changing his story, independently. I discovered Bardfinn's tendency to lie on my own, long before I ever saw the AHS whistleblower's video. I hence consider such a pathological liar perfectly capable of such a profound level of moral corruption ("Incest is not unethical") that he'd even consider asking others to plant CP on enemy subreddits to be somehow morally acceptable. Again, I cannot prove that he has done it (or that the AHS whistleblower is lying, as he insists), but do I consider it likely based on everything else I have seen him do? Absolutely. Bardfinn himself once stated on Reddit that, quote, "Narcissists don't ever actually give up " (1)- he wasn't talking about himself in that post, he was actually referring to his mother whom he has publically denounced and accused of being a narcisist on the subreddit /r/raisedbynarcissists - but perhaps unintentionally or subconsciously he actually was referring to himself and it was merely a statement of projection on his part. Just like a narcissist, Bardfinn himself will also stop at nothing when it comes to taking down AHS' ideological enemies.
Suffice to say, me denouncing Bardfinn has nothing whatsoever to do with the AHS whistleblower's video. Had I never seen that AHS whistleblower's video, I would still be here denouncing him based on my own independent research which paints a gruesome enough picture of him on its own.
(1) Here is the full post with that statement in context:
Narcissists don't ever actually give up — they just wait for the next opportunity. But it is the case that there is no winning, there are only ways to avoid playing their game.
You want five words: Yes, No, Please, & Thank You.

I would say Bardfinn malicious conduct towards /r/detrans - deliberately waiting for the /r/detrans mods to go to sleep so that he could hijack their subreddit while they were sleeping, then openly mocking them for it - is an excellent example of a narcissist who "just waits for the next opportunity".
there doesn't seem to be anything here
