Seriously, Reddit, WTF?

So I'm a pretty avid Redditor, as in I frequent the website reddit.com pretty much every day. From the subreddits r/politics to r/atheism, r/ f7u12 and even r/skyrim, it's where I spend a significant portion of my time. I read a lot of the articles posted, I mostly lurk. I'll rarely comment, and I've never posted anything. However, it has come to my attention that a serious scandal has gone down in r/atheism recently.
I just do not know how I missed this one. I did not even know about it until I had read some posts over at freethoughtblogs.com, where bloggers there expressed the same feelings I have right now. I'm livid at the atheist and skeptic community of reddit, or at the very least those that said these horribly disgusting, degrading things.
The gist of the story is that a young girl of about fifteen posted a picture of herself with a copy of Carl Sagan's "The Demon Haunted World." Perfectly reasonable, it was a Christmas present, and she wanted to show the atheist community of reddit that she was very happy with the present, that she considered herself a part of the community. The men of r/atheism proceeded to make comments about abducting and raping the girl, making disgusting comments telling the girl to "relax her anus," that "blood is nature's lubricant," and "15 is the legal age in my country so I only have to worry about the abduction charges."
This shit is fucking heinous. Despicable. A blight on the atheist community everywhere. Seriously, do we really have sick assholes like this? I'm ashamed to even be a redditor right now. This is a fifteen year old girl. She's only three years younger than me, and this shit is still appalling to me. How the hell do you make such sick comments to a young girl like that? I would think that guys would have the common fucking decency to refrain from such garbage, at least in a community I count myself a part of. Even if you have thoughts like that, why give voice to them?
R/atheism is going to have to rebuild its image because of a few sick fucks. They've been doing great, raising money for Doctors Without Borders and such. Now everyone is pissed with them, and I do not blame them in the slightest. This is not Elevatorgate, where a famous blogger was quasi-propositioned by a creepy guy in an elevator at, like, 2 AM. This is a group of men telling an underaged girl they would kidnap and rape her! I do not care if it's over the Internet, it's fucking deplorable.
Just had to vent on this. It is indefensible.
