Ok I clearly missed the John Oliver thing. Can someone explain that to me please?
Several subreddits have ruled that they will now post only John Oliver related content as an alternate means of protest. I think it started on /r/pics, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Wasn't it mainly nsfw sexy pics of John Oliver?
Their criteria was "John Oliver looking sexy," but no NSFW was stated, no. In fact, they clarified that John Oliver always looks sexy, so all pics of him were acceptable.
Also, John Oliver’s Twitter feed is just him posting pictures of himself for others to post on Reddit.

That is fantastic.
I just read the article on this yesterday. It was /awww, /pics, and /gifs as the first to do this (with I think pics starting it)
Very amusingly, it was first stated that “only sexy pictures of John Oliver would be allowed”, but then it was changed to, “all pictures of John Oliver are allowed, because every picture of John Oliver is sexy”
Edit: I see someone else already mentioned the “all pictures of John Oliver are sexy” bit. Sorry, I just missed it somehow.
As a further edit, here was the original article
