Too bad the girls over in /r/CuteFemaleCorpses can't shout as loud as fat people...

[–]beard_the_fuck_up 1189ポイント1190ポイント  (122子コメント)

/r/CuteFemaleCorpses

or literally any of the subreddits in their sidebar.

Edit: not my personal opinions, just the sidebar of /r/CuteFemaleCorpses. WPD is a subreddit I have been to before. It does not harass anyone.

Edit 2: Again, i'm not saying these should be banned. What I'm saying is the admins of reddit think making fun of fat people (or at least being satirical about it) is worse than raping dead corpses, killing women, burning kids, hurting animals, and watching people die.

[–]80lbsdown 1369ポイント1370ポイント  (96子コメント)

There is a subreddit called /r/SlutJustice that just links to various /r/relationships posts and encourages brigading of users they decide are "slutty." I'm all for stopping harassment, but let's not pretend that /r/fatpeoplehate is the worst of reddit.

Edit: Here is a link to a thread where a woman attempts to defend herself after her post gets brigaded by people declaring her a slut.

[–]Raysharp 1184ポイント1185ポイント  (111子コメント)

For everyone who is wondering, these are the banned subreddits.

/r/fatpeoplehate(150k+)

/r/hamplanethatred (3071)

/r/transfags (149)

/r/neofag (1239)

/r/shitniggerssay (219)

/r/fatpersonhate(unknown)

credit to /u/ekjp

Edit: added fatpeoplehate. Thanks /u/The_White_Baron, I didn't think to originally. Good call.

edit 2: I only posted this because at the time (about ten minutes after original post) they didn't have the link to the list on the post. Feel free to ignore as this is no longer relevant.

edit 3: I should point out that the 150k+ number is a claim from another user. I took his word, but I didn't ever visit the sub myself and therefore have no reliable way of telling you the real number they had.

edit 4: added fatpersonhate

[–]oodni 319ポイント320ポイント  (57子コメント)

It was a sub dedicated to making fun of members of a gaming forum called NeoGAF.

This is a hole with no bottom. Admins will now be fielding non-stop requests from person "x" because sub "y" offended them somehow and they will try to spin it as harassment.

Example: every person ITT asking what about this or that sub.

[–]flossdaily 3159ポイント3160ポイント x2 (161子コメント)

This was an incredibly bad business decision for the following reason:

When you were not banning any subreddits, you could make the legal claim that you were an open, public forum, and that you were not liable for the user generated content on the site.

Now, you've taken the step of actively censoring content. Therefore it can argued that ANY significant subreddit that you haven't banned is operating with your knowledge, approval, and cooperation.

So you shut down a subreddit that hates on fat people, but you left up the overtly racist subreddits that made national headlines several months ago?

Mashable, Gawker, Salon, Dailykos, The Independent, etc... are all major publications that over a span of months have called out reddit for allowing racist subreddits to thrive. Their arguments were all moot until today.

This policy would have been a huge legal misstep even if handled appropriately. But this sloppy execution makes the responsible administrators look embarrassingly ignorant or incompetent at best, and overtly racist at worst.

This was an incredibly stupid business decision for the following reason:

Well, she has a history of those:

“We come up with an offer that we think is fair,” Pao said. “If you want more equity, we’ll let you swap a little bit of your cash salary for equity, but we aren’t going to reward people who are better negotiators with more compensation.”

[–]tbk 179ポイント180ポイント  (8子コメント)

Well that's a good way to keep anyone with experience from working at your company. So instead of training her staff to not discriminate based on gender she's just banning an incredibly common practice that ensures experienced prospective employees feel valued and respected.

It was just a matter of time, wasn't it? I can't say I liked any of the 5 banned subs, but seems like freedom of expression shouldn't be banned.

What's next? /r/news gets banned for pointing out how the CEO is blackmailing her old company to pay for her husband's ponzi scheme debts?

[–]Emazinng 4339ポイント4340ポイント x6 (262子コメント)

Yishan Wong, the site's former CEO, has stated that "We stand for free speech. This means we are not going to ban distasteful subreddits. We will not ban legal content even if we find it odious or if we personally condemn it."

There is a zero percent chance you will ban /r/ShitRedditSays and they are infamous for vote brigading, nasty PMs and various other forms of harassment, up to and including getting people fired from their jobs for perceived transgressions against various minorities.

Fuck this policy. I was not a huge fan of fatpeoplehate, but I had never heard a single thing about them extending their reach outside of their own subreddit to harass people

What does "safe space" even mean? Please define that term so the community can have a real discussion about it instead of using it as a bullshit vague coverall for anything that hurts peoples feelings.

Does it mean that if somebody accidentally clicks on a "mean" subreddit their fee fees are so triggered that they must remain on the page and suffer?

[–]Ungreat 37ポイント38ポイント  (0子コメント)

Probably cutting out the weird and nasty to make the site palatable to advertisers. Problem is the weird and nasty is a large part of this site.

As much as I dislike the content in FPH, I dislike censorship MUCH more.

FPH was supposedly banned for violating the reddit rule of "Keeping everyone safe." That rule says, "You agree to not intentionally jeopardize the health and safety of others or yourself."

You're going to need to explain exactly how they were violating that rule, because I saw none of it happening.

The people who were discussed are jeopardizing their own health and safety.

This is censorship plain and simple.

[–]upboatsallaround 429ポイント430ポイント  (9子コメント)

Sounds like they should ban /r/HAES or /r/thinspo if that's their true goal.

"Front page of the internet" campaigning against internet censorship while simultaneously banning subreddits that offend you. SHAME ON YOU. If you find a subreddit offensive, don't go on it. I didn't like the subreddit, but that's no reason to ban it.

Thought about buying gold/turning off adblock to support reddit but no more. I vote with my $$ and reddit does not get my vote. Honestly, fuck you mods

EDIT: And don't buy me fucking gold and make sure to turn on adblock.

/r/neofag was a non-brigading, non-harassment sub that focused on the anti-GamerGate site Neogaf. It had absolutely no reason to be banned, yet garbage like shitredditsays and subredditdrama remain.

I'm getting so sick of this biased, safe-space bullshit. I have no sympathy for the users of /r/fatpeoplehate, but I don't believe in censorship. You guys aren't even trying to hide it now...if you go to the FPH subreddit, it says it's been removed to "keep people safe". I can assure you that no subreddit has ever made me feel unsafe, even when I've people pestering me inbox messages I didn't want.

What happened to the Reddit that supported the blacklisting of SOPA? I guess you guys sold out.

Go fuck yourself Pao.

I've never seen a sub with a mod team more deeply dedicated to containing content to within the sub, preventing brigading and removing identifying information.

SRS pays it lip service, served up with a side dish of tee hee we put that rule on the sidebar so we're covered.

Ban SRS and coontown or your action today is seen as exactly what it is: fuck all to do with harassment and pandering to a specific group.

I ain't holdin' my breath.

Edit: please don't gild me again. These fuckers at Reddit don't deserve one more fucking red cent. Take that cash and give it to a homeless person, a charity, or someone in need, k? :)

For a website that's boasts about internet freedom and privacy so often, I'm fucking disgusted at this thinly veiled, blatant censorship. What the fuck? What happened to freedom of speech? You don't have to agree with /r/fatpeoplehate, but no one was shoving it down your throats. I'm fucking disappointed in you, admins.

[–]njbrooks 1052ポイント1053ポイント  (74子コメント)

This is a horrible and not very well though out idea, here's why.

Use /r/fatpeoplehate as example. Room full of people, door is locked, door says "Room to discuss distaste for obese people". Obviously nobody who is obese would enter that room, right? Everyone in this room loves to rail and make fun of fat people. This is good, because everyone who is fat on the outside of the room can't hear or see what they're doing. You guys over at reddit HQ say "hm, maybe we shouldn't keep all those people in the same room, talking about negative things". You say "ok!" and unlock the door and tell everyone "sorry you can't hang out in this room anymore, but you can go to any of the other rooms"

People from /r/fatpeoplehate room proceed to harass and project distaste for obese people in other rooms and in an uncontrolled manner since there is no place to talk about this without repercussion. In the end nobody is happy.

My point is, people have opinions that will offend others, but we can control the chaos by letting these people discuss those offensive opinions in a controlled environment.

Edit: Okay, the door isn't "locked". I get the hatred spread even with the subreddit open. But I do not think removing the subreddit will solve anything. This goes for all the banned subreddits, not just FPH

Thx for gold

[–]nixonrichard 2541ポイント2542ポイント  (154子コメント)

Does Mitt Romney count as an individual? Because if you're going to go down this dark path, you have a LOT of subreddits to ban.

Mitt Romney got harassed worse than anyone I've ever seen on Reddit, far worse than any fat person being harassed by /r/fatpeoplehate (which they didn't actually do).

What you're doing is setting a precedent which cannot possibly be enforced except by the caprice of Admins . . . and I think that's EXACTLY what you want.

If the subreddit was "/r/WBC_Hate" there's no way you would have banned it. You're making a choice that you care more about fat people as a group than members of the WBC (or any other group that is widely hated) and by Administrators making a personal choice as to what is supported and what is not, you're doing far more risk to Reddit than you could possibly remove by banning /r/fatpeoplehate.

I hope you realize what you're doing. I don't think you do.

[–]taws34 518ポイント519ポイント  (31子コメント)

Funny, though, how the up and down vote buttons work... It was like more people agreed with the content than disagreed with it..

Weird.

[–]Vilmond 55ポイント56ポイント  (3子コメント)

How upvotes/downvotes work is actually a rather interesting topic.

The reason subs like circlejerk, fph, politics, etc keep getting to the front page isn't because lots of people agree/disagree with the content. Instead its about time/early votes. Basically just a handful of early upvotes or downvotes will send a post spiraling into success of crashing into nothingness.

This is why reddit vote bots and alternate accounts work so well. The first 5 upvotes count for more than the next 20+ downvotes that come a short time later. Not because upvotes are worth more or less, but because of the timing which gives early votes more sway/meaning.

Then this system of giving earlier votes more sway is tied in with general psych which will have people simply follow the herd. This means those first few votes kicking it off leads to a giant inflation of votes that grow on eachother causing more votes.

The end result is that it would take a rather organized group downvoting content to get it off the front few pages of r/all. Especially if they don't end up seeing it until hours after it was posted by then any downvote to it is more or less powerless thanks to the time weighting system in place.

So things like r/circlejerk and similar echochamber subreddits are "very powerful" are making there voice heard on r/all. FPH was no different it had arguably the most tightly controlled user base of any subreddit that required sub'ing to post and all sorts of things along with a verification setup and so on. One of the main rules was "no dissent" this led to the generally snowbally voting setup mentioned above and having FPH content consistently hitting the front page.

This is why subs like leagueoflegends, politics, etc tend not to hit the front page as often. Because there user base while large will disagree. They will go "oh its about X team, fuck them" and you will get immediate downvotes. "Oh it looks good for X political party, fuck them!" and boom early downvotes ahoy! By having a subreddit that by nature encourages more than one viewpoint you are less likely to snowball onto the front page, that doesn't mean its impossible (far from it) just less likely.

Hopefully you learned something from this, maybed you don't give a shit and thats fine too. But the simple TLDR is that not all upvotes/downvotes are weighed equally and the setup gives "echo chambers" more power.

[–]AmericanPsychonaut 679ポイント680ポイント  (19子コメント)

You hit the nail on the head. This is totally arbitrary and now admins have to ban subreddits that agree with the reddit community's views or they lose users. One problem, the community is so large and diverse that there is no consensus on what should stay or go. Every subreddit they deem is engaging in 'harassment' loses them a percentage of users.

In a less PC way of saying this, I think they're total pussies for doing this and are bending over to external pressure from advertisers. Limp dick admins.

[–]MrTwoJobs 45ポイント46ポイント  (1子コメント)

[–]Stalked_Like_Corn 3056ポイント3057ポイント x2 (196子コメント)

As a fat person who absolutely detests /r/fatpeoplehate to the core. This is bullshit. I've rarely seen them mentioned out in the wild so to speak and they kept it in their subreddit. The way I avoided being targeted by their subreddit was I stayed the fuck out if which is the whole point of the unsubscribe button. To NOT see things I don't want to see.

This is nothing more than just systematic reduction on edgy subreddits yet again. What i'm shocked about is that it wasn't because of bad media attention like jailbait, creepshots, and thefappening. I hate that subreddit but I stayed the fuck out of it. THat's the POINT of Reddit.

What's funny more is that creepshots is STILL back and NOTHING has been done to them to take it down because, you don't fucking care. Plain and simple, you don't fucking care. I was upset when you took down jailbait and creepshots though I didn't go into them. The fappening I never went into but I didn't like that being taken down either. Now this? Keep on Reddit admins. Keep on keeping on because You can ask Digg and Co. what happens when you push a userbase too far.

Meanwhile /r/shitredditsays keeps chugging along despite openly FLOUNTING* the rules of vote briggading. They bite their thumbs at you sir. Yet you continue to let it go on. Why?

They're both shit. SRS learned a while back that they needed to move shit off-site though, which had a side-effect of lessening their impact. Still, Meta-subs in general, even ones started with good or at least harmless intentions, will always end up going to shit. It's the Sneaky Hate Spiral in action.

I remember when SRS was actually a decent entertaining sub. Then the extremists found out about the place and didn't get the joke... ultimately leading to a classic example of Horseshoe Theory

Literally one of the first rules of fatpeoplehate is "no linking to other subreddits." That sub keeps to its own and discourages and actively prevents brigading and any hint of attacking those from outside that sub. What stays in FPH stays in FPH. Total bullshit. But by all means lets keep the subs that are sexist, racist, downright disgusting and disturbing, ignorant, and so on. Nice job shitting the bed, admins.

[–]austin101123 87ポイント88ポイント  (6子コメント)

Was fatpeoplehate invading other places, or was it contained?

It seems as though /r/greatapes still exists.

What made fatpeoplehate considered harassing vs. greatapes? What is the qualification for being considered harassing? I hope for more transparency on this.

List of subreddits on the chopping block:

/r/fatpeoplehate,

/r/hamplanethatred,

/r/transfags,

/r/neofag,

/r/shitniggerssay

What about /r/coontown though? It's just straight up racism on /new all day long.

[–]ButterGoblinBegone 20ポイント21ポイント  (2子コメント)

Harassement... Yeah. Right.

So this is how free speech dies... with thunderous applause. You ban one of the more frequently brigaded subreddits (FPH), while continuing to CENSOR reddit because of your inane - yes thats a word, look it up, I did not mean insane - obsession with "political correctness", all the while hiding behind a shield of bullshit.

Pretty much every scientific study out there says that you SJW's are plain wrong, and the vast majority - forgive my use of weasel words, it's late and I can't think of a better way to express myself atm - of studies suggest that almost all your closely held opinions are BULLSHIT, but you continue to pull shit like this.

I can't wait for the moment when some basic common sense comes back to the people in charge, and they kick you to the curb.

[–]AssuredlyAThrowAway 86ポイント87ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lol.

You had to sticky this thread because it got downvoted below the threshold. No one will ever see this announcement on the default front page or /r/all.

Yo /u/kn0thing, do you really know nothing about how this site works?

[–]nsto 2519ポイント2520ポイント  (1479子コメント)

Did /r/fatpeoplehate actually harass people outside of the subreddit?

[–]evancam 111ポイント112ポイント  (4子コメント)

/u/ekjp - if the Reddit community raises the money you need to pay your husbands' legal settlements resulting from his fraudulent financial activities, will you resign and leave us alone?

Edit: I did actually go to college and take at least one English/writing class. Edit 2: I'm leaving it, messing up 'took' in this context makes me laugh.

[–]ninjapro 469ポイント470ポイント x2 (19子コメント)

Woah. /r/fatpeoplehate (FPH) was actually banned. This seems like a crazy knee-jerk reaction.

While FPH may have been relatively circlejerky and superficially vicious, it was a subreddit where people would go expressly to vent. Very rarely would personal information be included or anyone targeted and when that does happen, generally the mods were fantastic at shooing off the post. (as a side note: the mods on FPH were some of the most active and fair mods that I had seen in a subreddit that large). FPH certainly seems far too vicious at first glance, but their bark is far, far worse than their bite.

Larger subreddits, I'll use /r/atheism as an example, have had far more targeted threads and nobody really bats an eye at that. At first glance, the top thread in /r/atheism is about a couple, who are named and pictured in the linked article, threatening to divorce if gay marriage is passed.

This is a direct, identifying piece of information. Yet, nobody's calling witchhunting, though when someone inevidently does, it's generally defended because "/r/athesim is a place where atheists can vent about the religious they run into every day."

FPH, which rarely ever posted personal information, should not be considered more harassing than specific subs which are borderline controversial. /r/funny isn't accused of harassing when there's a joke about Kayne West or Kim Kardashian; /r/pcmasterrace isn't considered harassment towards console gamers; and /r/ShitRedditSays literally targets users' comments in an attempt to brigade them. So why is FPH so specifically vilified?

TLDR: /r/fatpeoplehate is not the the only or worst harassers on the internet or even Reddit. This targeting does not seem justified.

[–]beetnemesis 151ポイント152ポイント  (16子コメント)

This seems kind of silly. By all means, ban any users who are harassing, shut down any specific posts that are encouraging doxxing, brigading, or whatever. But if they want to bitch about overweight people in their walled off area, who cares?

[–]Robert_T_Pooner 241ポイント242ポイント  (3子コメント)

This is really a troubling step IMO. The fact that only one of the banned subreddits was named, and the statement referring to adding people to "manage community issues", I am getting the signal that reddit is going to become much more restrictive in the future. I agree that direct targeting of individuals is not something that reddit should facilitate, but I get the impression that the reddit admins are going to become more and more "hands on" in terms of censorship. I'm afraid that the open internet I grew up with is not going to survive the coming decade. Perhaps I'm just being overly sensitive. I hope so.

[–]heyitsfred 41ポイント42ポイント  (0子コメント)

The one that gets me is /r/neoFAG, yes, the name has an epithet, but other than that, they were just highlighting SJW posts on an external gaming forum. There are far worse subreddits in regards to harassment which are immune to this, especially within Reddit itself. Was this a test to see if they could get away with nuking /r/KotakuInAction and /r/TumblrInAction?

[–]icantbelieveiclicked 202ポイント203ポイント  (5子コメント)

im fat... and the only thing i can think of is fuck you.. shit people are entitled to their opinion and if you dont like fatpeoplehate then dont fucking go there..

fat people hate i totally give you credit for getting me back to the gym after 4 years and about 20 uneaten cookies

[–]dfsac85 342ポイント343ポイント  (44子コメント)

I am glad you guys didn't delete /r/fuckolly . Because seriously, fuck that kid.

[–]fivemanship 61ポイント62ポイント  (35子コメント)

Can anybody explain why nobody likes olly? I'm not saying I like olly, per se, but the only reason I can see people not liking him is because he shot Jon Snow's gf with an arrow, but he really didn't know any better -- he's just a kid stuck in a crazy war. Why fuckolly and not fuckramsay or fuckcersei??

EDIT: For everyone telling me "Wait til next episode" how can you possibly know if he wasn't a character in the book????!!?

[–]SharMarali 45ポイント46ポイント  (2子コメント)

There's now a r/fuckstannis if that makes you feel any better.

But the main reason for the Olly hate is that he's a show-only character with very little development who seems to exist only to eye-hate-fuck Jon.

[–]Adjal 47ポイント48ポイント  (1子コメント)

Why fuckolly and not fuckramsay or fuckcersei??

I'd fuck Cersei, but we're not related.

[–]HawkeyeTransfer 1811ポイント1812ポイント  (284子コメント)

$10 says a new fatpeoplehate subreddit will be up and running within 24 hours.

edit 1: The fat hatred will rise again!

Also, if you're going after harassing subreddits Admins, look no further than /r/subredditdrama and /r/shitredditsays. It would be a real shame if people started downvoting shit and disrupting those subreddits in protest right now.

edit 2: I will update my list of new FPH subs as people let know about them.

edit 3: /r/fatpeoplehate2 's only mod was banned. Someone go /r/redditrequest that shit.

edit 4: I filed a complaint using modmail against 3 subreddits:

  1. /r/subredditdrama

  2. /r/shitredditsays

  3. /r/bestof

Although I don't have anything personally against /r/bestof, it does seem like it violates reddit's harassment policy.

edit 5: In case I get banned, it's been an honor my fellow shitlords.

[–]turroflux 2124ポイント2125ポイント x2 (165子コメント)

So /r/BeatingCripples - /r/sexyabortions - /r/StruggleFucking continue to exist but a sub that mocks fat people is crossing the line?

Right.

Edit: Yes yes, /r/StruggleFucking is just rape fantasy, try /r/RapingWomen if you want real disgust. Jesus.

[–]kithrown 1033ポイント1034ポイント  (50子コメント)

Whats wrong with /r/struggleFucking?

Rape fetishes are extremely common, and all of the content posted there is porn. Nobody there will condone actual rape, it's just a fantasy.

Also, that subreddit is like 50% female. They have done multiple polls and it's always surprising (to me at least) how many of the subscribers are female!

[–]chlorinedog 104ポイント105ポイント  (4子コメント)

This is what's wrong. People like /u/turroflux calling for the banning of subs they don't even understand.

[–]ApplicableSongLyric 102ポイント103ポイント  (8子コメント)

StruggleFucking doesn't contain actual rape, and instead revolves around content generated that is essentially play-acting.

So what's the problem?

[–]AntonioOfVenice 96ポイント97ポイント  (4子コメント)

So you ban /r/fatpeoplehate and /r/neoFAG, but /r/PhilosophyofRape, a sub dedicated to advocating the rape of women stays up?

Fuck you, admins. Fuck you1000.

[–]Gloman42 515ポイント516ポイント  (40子コメント)

but subreddits with pictures of cute dead girls is ok...

[–]waterboysh 284ポイント285ポイント  (22子コメント)

If a subreddit has been banned for harassment, you will see that in the ban notice.

When I go to /r/fatpeoplehate I do not see this. All I see is:

this subreddit has been banned

most likely this was done automatically by our spam filtering program. the program is still learning, and may even have some bugs, so if you feel the ban was a mistake, please submit a link to our request a subreddit listing and be sure to include the exact name of the subreddit.

EDIT: It's already been changed. It now says.

this subreddit has been banned

This subreddit has been banned for violating the reddit rules to keep everyone safe

Which reads like the general news we see all the time where everyone responds "Because terrorists"

[–]NotKateBush 23ポイント24ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]KingOCarrotFlowers 94ポイント95ポイント  (2子コメント)

If you're so concerned with preventing harassment that you're banning subreddits, you're either going to need to be seriously transparent with the rules ("these activities are okay" vs "these activities are not") or you're going to have to recognize that this is just going to end up as a popularity contest.

We've established that /r/fatpeoplehate is wrong--what if I made a subreddit that filled the exact same function, but against white people? Thin people? The LGBT community? Straight people?

What about /r/tumblrinaction, which is essentially hater hate?

Or /r/facepalm, which is "people on my facebook feed who are acting stupid" hate?

You have indicated that you're not okay with harassing subreddits, but you have failed to provide even the most vague definition of a harassing subreddit.

[–]DisgustingFatPeople 283ポイント284ポイント  (35子コメント)

you know what is fucking pathetic about this.

if you had a smokerhate subreddit, no one would care. It's ok to hate smokers.

But are there smoker acceptance people trying to say "health at every cigarette"? NO!

There is no difference between obesity and smoking. Both are horrible for you. Yet only one is ok to "shame"?

Pathetic.

[–]Anjz 56ポイント57ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yishan Wong, the site's former CEO, has stated that "We stand for free speech. This means we are not going to ban distasteful subreddits. We will not ban legal content even if we find it odious or if we personally condemn it."

What the fuck? This goes against what Reddit is about.

If you start banning subreddits that you 'hate', then it will start being corporate and eventually corporations will say that they are being harassed and will be able to take down subreddits and ban users.

What's next, are we gonna get banned for saying Ellen Pao is a bad CEO for going against her words? We may as well take a one way ticket to North Korea.

This is the worst move Reddit has done, I'm terribly disappointed.

As much as I resent people for having so much hate, this is a major impediment of free speech.

[–]closetshitlordette 124ポイント125ポイント  (1子コメント)

I was a subscriber to FPH. Say what you want about me, but here's the deal:

  • Unlike SRS's wink-nudge, totally insincere "no-brigade" policy, FPH's was legit. It's rules included a prohibition on linking to other parts of reddit (and such posts were automatically removed); including any personal information including person, username, or subreddit names in posts; and banning known brigaders. It regularly removed posts that broke any of these rules, and the mods routinely put up reminders not to brigade. It kept to itself.

  • This decision is not only arbitrary but unfounded. FPH blatantly did not do the things it is being accused of (harassment) while subs that actively and openly do those things remain. This leaves me and--looking through the comments--much of the rest of the community feeling as if you've just slapped us in the face with capricious censorship with blatantly insincere justifications, when the real agenda was political in nature.

  • And speaking of the real agenda, since it was political, what about all the other distasteful subs that not only harass but represent far more odious subject matter than FPH? Good job, mods: you've opened that door.

Conclusion: this is bullshit and you know it.

[–]Thezanthex 285ポイント286ポイント  (15子コメント)

It's not that I support any of the banned subreddits, but banning them with that justification isn't cool, especially since outwardly they didn't appear to be doxxing anyone.

Censorship, man. I thought there'd be more time before it really hit reddit.

[–]Kolisk 173ポイント174ポイント  (11子コメント)

This isn't an attempt to stop harrasment, this is Reddit admins paving the way for censoring anything they deem worthy.

This is bullshit, the point of having an avenue for conversation is that you can see the view of all sides of an argument. But now one side of the argument is subject to being completely silenced.

[–]Muppet1616 149ポイント150ポイント  (26子コメント)

What are the other 4 banned subreddits?

[–]TheTreelo 151ポイント152ポイント  (24子コメント)

r/hamplanethatred (3071 subscribers), r/transfags (149), r/neofag (1239) and r/shitniggerssay (219)

Yet r/coontown is just fine. I think it's quite odd to drop the ban hammer on these subreddits and still let r/coontown continue with their racism.

[–]bigtallguy 133ポイント134ポイント  (12子コメント)

im really confused why neofag was banned. its about hating Neogaf, the gaming forum.

[–]WildHamBeastTamer 96ポイント97ポイント  (4子コメント)

neofag was an antineogaf subreddit, not anything to do with hating gay people. I don't see why it was banned.

Where can we find the five banned subreddits? Can you just tell us here what they are, and link to where the updated page will be?

edit

In case it gets buried, here is the other four subreddits in addition to r/ fatpeoplehate. I won't direct link to them, nor name them. This link contains their identities. Thank you, mods, for your immediate transparency.

edit 2

Reddit manager /u/ekjp had this to say about the decision in regards to other offensive subreddits:

"We're banning behavior, not ideas. While we don't agree with the content of the subreddit, we don't have reports of it harassing individuals."

edit 3

Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian has this to say about the matter:

"Steve and I did not create reddit to be a platform for communities to target + harass individuals. It's really that simple."

[–]glitterwrists 143ポイント144ポイント  (2子コメント)

I think it's important the admins share the other four in respect of transparency. If these other subreddits go against the values of the mods, it would be helpful for Redditors to know where lines are being drawn to avoid future issues.

Congrats Overlord Pao, your actions just advertised a subreddit to your entire user base that they may not have been aware of AND you've hydra'd the hell out of it... what did you think would happen? FPH could have stayed its own little corner of Reddit... now r/ALL is effectively FPH...

I, for one, welcome our Fat People Hating overlords...

[–]webgovernor 126ポイント127ポイント  (7子コメント)

Today we are removing five subreddits that break our reddit rules based on their harassment of individuals.

Translation: We are removing subreddits that harm advertising interests. This is why these subs seem arbitrarily chosen.

[–]RedSocks157 568ポイント569ポイント  (18子コメント)

Here's some feedback for you: I'm going to voat. You can take your SJW, safe-space nonsense and shove it. /u/ekjp has been changing this site for the worse since she got here, and the repeated bannings and deletions of anything talking about her bs attempts at extortion of her former employer only prove that she shouldn't be in charge of anything.

I'll probably be banned or shadowbanned for this. I don't care. I bet the reddit admin who does it will feel real good about themselves, using a tool originally meant to stop spam in order to remove anything they don't like or deem sufficiently "safe".

FPH might not have been nice, and you know what I wouldn't be that upset if these rules were being applied equally. The continued existence of SRS is a pretty clear indicator of that.

[–]Libertarian-Party 366ポイント367ポイント  (7子コメント)

I'm glad that the administration are finally removing /r/srs for their harassment of redditors

Just be upfront that the reason FPH was banned was because it hit too close to home for the vast majority of you.
