View submission: /r/fatpeoplehate has been banned from reddit. /r/coontown is still here. Does anyone still doubt me when I say that the Fat Acceptance Movement has gained an EXTREME amount of power, while heightism is celebrated in our culture? This is absurd.

I nominate the word "harassment" for the absolutely worse word of the 21st century. It's a word that has truly lost ALL of its original meaning and now simply means "I'm personally offended". Fuck anyone else who might be offended....that's just offensive.....but when **I'm** offended, it's fucking harassment.

Yeah its just as bad as 'creep.'

Which now means 'Man I don't find attractive doing something I disagree with."

"Hey, how're you? My name is John, the music is pretty cool in here isn't it? Can I get you a drink?"

"Get the fuck away from me you creep!"

This kinda reminds of the poll Time Magazine did for the worst word[1] of 2014. I think 'harassment' is high-time to make that list this year.

Yep instead of sympathizing with people let's just tell them they're overreacting. This sub is so damn toxic.
