Alright guys, I've delved deep into the dark abyss that is /r/ContraPoints & /r/mouthfeel moderator Penny Oaken - the mod who was openly celebrating us getting DDoSed and doxxed (seeming ahead of everyone else too, which is suspicious) - and you won't believe what I found: it seems like Penny wants to be his female Second Life avatar IRL. Yes, it appears we have another terrible instance of "computer nerd falls in love with his own cyberwaifu creation, goes trans to become her.". I believe I've seen it mentioned on this very forum before that the phenomenon of game devs falling in love with their own characters has long been a source of ROGD in the gaming communities.
Everyone say hi to "Penny Widget", formerly known as "Finning Widget", Penny's gothic lesbian BDSM dominatrix avatar on Second Life:
Avatar: Penny Widget (Finning Widget)
"Penny Widget" has
her own Reddit account as well as her own Twitter account where you can browse sexy pictures of "Penny Widget" in different gothic clothes, different alternative hairstyles, as well as pictures of "Penny Widget" getting it on with other lesbian avatars on Second Life:
Hi! I'm Penny Widget, a resident of Second Life! This is my Twitter account, where I'll be sure to post plenty of selfies! She/Her

Talking! Like! This! Is! Feminine! As you can instantly tell from browsing the timeline, Penny is really into redheads. That might explain why his own hair appears to have a red ombre effect on his Mastodone avatar (assuming that's actually him and not a stolen picture.)
3D lesbofetishism galore:

"Penny Widget" is in a lesbian relationship with another Second Life female avatar called "Skye":
See this lovely face?
She's Skye, and I belong to her, completely.

Skye just told me "Your happyness is the best sound ever"
And I sobbed [did you put on the Moana OST?]
<3
So the idea here is that he wants to become his own Second Life avatar so he can become an IRL transbian and get it on with lesbians like his avatar does? #NoAGP
Penny Oaken has been active on Second Life for over a decade. His avatar was originally called "Finning Widget", later changed to "Penny Widget":
The song lyrics used in the avatar's description are from the song
Welcome To The Black Parade by the emo rock band My Chemical Romance. The lyrics have been altered and gendered to fit the avatar being a female. (Not my favourite MCR song or album but if Penny likes MCR he has a pretty good taste in music for a 60 year old.)
Penny's history on Second Life goes back over a decade. You can read some of his contributions to this forum thread as "Finning Widget" ("No Ravens in my Mailbox", how very gothic):

Here he is responding (as "Finning Widget", his original Second Life alias before he changed it to "Penny Widget") to a post on wordpress on Linden Labs:

Lewis Nerd And Prokofy Neva’s shrill demands aside –
This is still the United States of America, where people have First Amendment Rights, including Freedom of Association and Freedom of Expression.
For a Linden Labs employee to join a group for personal reasons, is really no different than associating with that group and expressing his/her association. It’s no different than belonging to a specific church, and wearing a crucifix to work.
If any employee’s actions on the behalf of a group unduly affects his or her work, then Linden Labs can take corrective steps or discipline that employee for that incident. If it becomes a pattern, then the employee can be disciplined. That would happen whether or not the employee expressed their association via formally joining the group.
Linden Labs should only restrict employees from running ‘resident groups’ on company time, and restrict employees from claiming official Linden Labs endorsement of the group, groups’ aims and goals, and status due to a Linden Lab employee being in the group. That’s it. “Keep professional life professional and personal life personal”.
America – where we are free to believe, participate, associate, join, express – even if someone else disapproves of (or feels are ‘controversial’) our beliefs, participation, associations, joining, or expressions.
In doing research for the international outreach, I joined several different groups within the currently established Second Life German community which has sparked a bit of controversy…

Let me repeat this part from that Wordpress comment again for emphasis:

The same guy who posted this statement in 2006 has now actually banned /r/ContraPoints users from merely uttering the words "Kiwi Farms" on the sub. Saying "Kiwi Farms" on /r/ContraPoints is not just grounds for deletion but for permanent suspension. The same person who posted this statement in 2006 has now joined The League of Extraordinary Trolls to prevent others from freely expressing themselves. How can someone be such a hypocrite? Additionally, once upon a time Penny was clearly proud to be an American. Here's what he said most recently about being American on his "Penny Widget" Twitter account:
In first life, I live in the United States of America.
This is a frightening state of affairs; It keeps me awake some nights.
So, you're an American insomniac huh Penny?
Is it the lack of sleep that turned you into such a hypocritical censor?
You know what MCR had to say about that.
