    Naw things like Jezebel (feminist site) were part of Gawker and significantly edgier at the time. The outing of Violentacrez, shut down of /r/jailbait and a bunch of other shit was one of Gawker's journalists too (adrian chen). Chen went on to criticise propaganda against Russia too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Chen

    Not sure about what Chen is these days. Looks like he got arrested recently protesting about Gaza though which makes him better than half the establishment journos at least.

      I think you're right about her outing violentacrez, but Something Awful got r/jailbait shut down.
