It makes me pretty sad to see so many people wanting to just focus on hate, too. You guys (the mods) said from the very beginning that this sub was supposed to be like TrollX, just without glorifying fat behavior, etc., and that's why I joined. I clearly remember at least one of the mods mentioning how this was supposed to be a non hateful place way in the beginning. I guess the confusion with some of the subscribers stemmed from the then-somewhat vague sidebar.

I was getting sad over in the original TrollX because it seemed like every other post was about "I'm fat and I don't care! I'm so empowered!!" with all these women circle..rubbing(? It'd be hard to jerk a bean lol) about how they too have given up and given in to fat acceptance. It felt like they were constantly squishing my face into their unhealthy, greasy fatlogic.

My understanding was that this sub would be like if TrollX existed in a world without rampant obesity. This to me meant we could just be silly without even having to acknowledge the existence of fat minded women, and that is exactly what I wanted. They're loud and obnoxious about bellowing out how fat is better and we thin women don't exist, so what better way to make them feel shitty than to just pretend they don't exist while having lotsa fun amongst ourselves? I'm so sick of dealing with mean, fat people. I don't want to be reminded of them.

It's like when you go through a bad break up, you don't wanna go around telling everybody you hate your ex all the time because it will get back to your ex and they'll know you're still constantly thinking about them. What your ex least wants to hear is that you don't mention them at all and that you're doing really well and seem very happy. Don't let these fat minded women think that we're obsessed with them. We're better than that.

P.S. I think you guys let the confusion go on longer than it should have by not having clearer rules and not deleting posts that broke those rules. So I can see why some people who got comfortable here thinking it was another hate space are now feeling frustrated and angry.
