Those include a disgusting, misogynistic guess from Moghadam that Rodger’s sister is “smokin hot” and compliments on the writing style of the killer. Moghadam’s annotations were pointed out by Gawker in a post yesterday, in which writer Jordan Sargent identifies some of the particularly horrible comments left by the Rap Genius co-founder on the document. In a blog post detailing the news, co-founder and CEO Tom Lehman describes how Moghadam’s missteps would have been met with decisive action were he a community member, and says the co-founder is no exception. Rodger went on a killing spree this past weekend, injuring 13 and killing seven, including himself. Rap Genius, the startup that wants to “annotate the world,” sees the departure of co-founder Mahbod Moghadam today, owing to Moghadam’s ill-advised annotations on the rambling manifesto of Elliot Rodger.
