The creator of the biggest Gamergate community on Reddit, r/KotakuinAction (KiA), staged a brief one-man coup on Thursday night, setting the subreddit to private and wiping its CSS. He then explained on r/Drama that the subreddit is “one of the many cancerous growths that have infiltrated reddit” and “infested with racism and sexism.”

According to moderator u/HandofBane, in an official modpost on the topic, u/david-me set the subreddit to private for about 45-50 minutes on Thursday night, locking out its nearly 100,000 subscribers. He also barred the entire admin team from using their privileges, and deleted the forum’s CSS, which includes web-styling like user flair and themes.
