| So you're a fat SJW

Really? That's the level of thinking that those who claim censorship on reddit are operating on?

It wasn't about views people disagree with (hence why the chimpire subreddits are still active). FPH actively engaged in harassment of individuals by both subscribers and moderators. And speaking of censorship the FPH mods would ban any "sympathetic views" of ridiculed individuals.



Just flag. Don't reply. Replying makes the troll comment more prominent (as, obviously, does quoting it!). In cases as clear-cut as this, you can trust that the flag button will quickly and reliably do its job.

(Happy to delete this comment when you delete yours.)


That's basically how /r/fatpeoplehate thought - anyone who disagreed with them was obviously just a fatty, and therefore subhuman. (The moderators literally banned anyone who showed any empathy to a fat person - it was even in the rules - and this seems to have resulted in about the culture you'd expect.)
