Let me put it this way: I would not let the moderators and fans of the Reddit creeper forums around my daughters; I’d worry they would sexually assault the girls. I don’t worry about Gawker writers and editors molesting my girls. However, if my girls were molested, I’d expect Gawker writers and editors to try to find ways to monetize it, use it to drive traffic, come up with banal, weakly ironic hipster-douchebag quips about it, pay witnesses to offer lurid details about it, and try to find clumsy and demi-literate ways to connect it to politicians they don’t like.
