I don’t particularly care to rehash all of the garbage he spewed on Twitter yesterday, but I wanted to briefly showcase some of the most disturbing messages that Tumblr politics tag editor Alexander Ryking posted on a public forum last night. I just have one question: is this mature, professional behavior? Is this the type of person you want curating your tag content, Tumblr? Reblog if your answer is a resounding NO.

In order, here’s just what we’ve got in the screencap—he says similar things on his personal Tumblr all the time, but I thought it was important to point out that his troubled behavior is now spilling over to other media:

• calling women morons, feminazis and cunts
• equating the denial of “misandry” (a concept that is overwhelmingly rejected by everyone who understands gender politics) to denying scientific consensus
• stating that women who dislike him must have “daddy issues”
• again with the “daddy issues” thing, which IMO is the most grossly sexist part of this entire tirade
• equating women to dogs
• telling feminists to go die

This isn’t about removing him from the position of editor because of political disagreements; after all, Ryking isn’t a conservative! This is about baseless personal attacks against women specifically (although non-women who disagree with him about “feminazis” have incurred his wrath as well) and for no reason other than they identify as feminists. I cannot stress enough that these attacks take place in an internet culture where being an outspoken, visible woman online will routinely earn you death threats, sexual harassment, and acts of intimidation. Here we have someone completely oblivious to the way his words contribute to that atmosphere, and yet we’re supposed to trust him to edit the official politics tag? How can we believe that this man’s raging misogyny doesn’t spill over into that? It’s absolutely unacceptable.

I’ve always had him written off since he thought an appropriate argument was to tell my wife to kill herself. -Joe

If anyone ever wanted to know what an honest to god misogynist looks like… here you go! Misogynist is a word that I feel is overused by stupid people, so I’m always quite irritated when someone this horrible pops up and no other word describes them. Ladies and gentlemen… This man HATES women. See this? This is pretty much the worst humanity has to offer. It’s a crime that he’s even employed in this economical climate.

Seriously. Tumblr? Look up at the stuff he wrote. We have death threats, misogyny, and more violent sexist insults than my brain can really process at one time. This guy is reflecting on YOU as a corporation… and let’s just say that if you’d employ someone this disgusting, it doesn’t look good.

Alright, I’ve sent an e-mail to tumblr support (support@tumblr.com) requesting he be fired immediately, and I’d really like it if anyone who reads this does the same. If he remains employed through this, I’ll be leaving Tumblr and finding another place to get my news and cat pictures.

Yeah, can we get him the fuck outta here, please?

out with the old, in with someone less fucking disgusting, tumblr, please.

Alright, yeah, can we get this gone? Because if this is the kind of hate tumblr supports, I’m out. But I wouldn’t be surprised when anti-black blogs are allowed to stay half the time no matter what slurs are used…
