The front page of Reddit was littered with derogatory Pao posts for days on end following the shutdown of /r/fph and firing of Victoria. I'm sure she also received a large amount of private hate messages too.

I saw the front page, and many (most?) were not of the "ching-chong cunt" variety. I witnessed a lot of misplaced hate (we now know is "misplaced" after the fact) but there's a difference between "flaming" someone and using racist/bigoted language.
