It's a copypasta, as is their status message. A guy called Unidan who was a big Reddit power poster started arguing about crows and left that comment. That argument led to the discovery that he was engaging in mass vote manipulation using his own alts to skew the votes of any discussion he participated in and to boost the visibility of his own posts.

that's... interesting reddit lore? i did assume that it was some sort of copypasta and already knew abt the status, i'm more interested about the username. i assume it was something bigoted
Oops, I thought you were asking about the description. Names don't have to be bigoted to be force changed though, it could be that it was something NSFW or skirting adult content. Drug references and some shitty memes count for that.
