/r/Gaming Hacked? (Nevermind, Please Lock)

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

UPDATE: They fixed it and the site is back to normal. Mods, please lock this.

So I just went on /r/Gaming as I do and when I did, I was greeted with what appeared to be some kind of prank or something.

Spoiler: Large image

The entire page is un-usable, all the names merely read "Nerd Retard" and the name that comes up on the top of the web browser reads "NO FEMINAZIS ALLOWED" because of course it does.

It really has surprised me how much people love to be assholes at this time of year, it really really has V_V

I know that some of you mightn't use Reddit or even like the /r/Gaming board but for those of you who do, thoughts on this?
Odds are it'll be fixed soon but I figured that I might as well make a thread anyway, seeing how /r/Gaming is one of the larger gaming sub-reddits and now we have some prick using it as a chance to show off why people think the gaming community is toxic /)_-"

Well seems like it's fixed now Diablo: https://archive.is/04cU2

Though, only within the last 30 minutes or so: https://archive.is/0iQ3s

Apparently, a similar thing had happened to the subreddit dedicated to cute things, /r/aww, only 2 days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3xrbry/whats_wrong_with_front_picture_of_raww/

So given the pattern, it's likely a hacker who's doing this for shits and giggles.

Yeah, I WOULD have to make a thread right when the news it contains stops being news :<

Still, nice to know that there are people who feel a need to inflict their own personal misery onto others

Okay. I'll lock this one, then.

Cannot think of a funny .gif at the moment.
