Yeah I think in quite a few ways, FPH was less offensive than racist subreddits. But I think the whole ban on FPH has made the whole Reddit vs Freedom of Speech debate enormous. They're walking down a slippery slope now. Basically, I can easily say the following: "Reddit doesn't like people hating on fat people. But Reddit thinks it's fine to hate people for anything else, even race." Now they have to compare issues. Once you start banning things, you're walking on thin ice. Makes me wonder if banning FPH was the best choice. Eventually people will question why FPH and not others (like we are) and Reddit will become more and more limited. That might be good in many ways, but it definitely will make Reddit more constricted, for better or for worse. Banning all hate subreddits could cause outrage, or it could just make the harassers leave. Time will tell.
There's nothing here!
