Reddit bans 'Fat People Hate' and other subreddits under new harassment rules

Not a good day for reddit. The sub was offensive but there are more "PC" subs that break some of rules that they claim FPH did, namely brigading with that sub specifically forbade and tried to police. I do know in recent weeks that particular sub was having photo links to imgur removed by imgur staff on a near constant basis. (I was banned by FPH ages ago but I take no joy in its closing)

When you are led by a SJW it was only time before it filtered down to the site itself. There are more than plenty of subs will fall afoul of the vague rules application they used in removing five subs. There certainly are more directly offensive subs that should be worried.

It effectively demonstrates that you can shout down opinion which has become the operating method across colleges. For a liberal mindset they are hell bent at stifling any opinion they don't like. It was become a selfish world where any offense is verboten. Literally people are screaming "MOM"/"DAD BILLY CALLED ME A BOOGER"

> although in r/fatpeoplehate's case, "more than 5,000" is a bit of an understatement; the last Reddit metrics (and a Google cached page) put it at around 151,000 subscribers

kind of funny how reddit's admins are trying to make it seem like the subreddit's smaller than it actually is

I'm thrilled it has been removed. Reddit can be a hugely potent outlet for sexism, racism, and really terrible things. No one is denying their right for free speech, but Reddit shouldn't be expected to pay to host their forums or give them a loud platform (which r/all did give numerous questionable subreddits). Now I'm just hoping they can ban users/subreddits more comprehensively...

Reddit's r/all page is in completely covered with reactions to this. This is perhaps the most controversial move made yet by Reddit staff.

as a hamplanet, I only ever found FPH highly moto. Oh well.
