Let me start first by getting a few things out of the way. First, I've been a follower of this whole thing since the zoe quinn thing broke, I didn't give a shit about who zoe quinn was sleeping with but the conflicts of interest were alarming to me so I took notice.Then came the great /r/gaming thread deletion controversy. I was disturbed by the mod abuse preventing us from having a discussion about something that deeply impacted the hobby so many of us love.
Finally, there was a very troubling and seemingly concerted effort on the part of many games journalists to paint the entire situation as nothing more than a bunch of angry white dudes upset that a girl was having sex. Basically overnight, In my view, someone had framed the entire controversy as nothing more than a bunch of people who wanted to harass women and minorities. This upset me because I knew it wasn't true. I had no interest in harassing anyone or making anyone feel unsafe.
I was sure there were trolls who were taking advantage of the situation, but I thought it was dishonest and disingenous to paint the entire scene with that brush. And so my foray into the world of KiA, Ghazi, Social Justice began. It has been an eye opening experience. I've been following this thing since the beginning and I'm still convinced of the merits of #GamerGate.
But now to my point.
This is a mistep, if you choose to make the banning of FPH the hill that you're willing to die on you will lose. You will lose utterly and dramatically. Fatpeoplehate is a subreddit community completely without value. It is hate group in the most literal sense. And if you make FPH your battle in the way this sub has the past 24 hours you will unravel any progress you have made in convincing people you are not a hate group.
It's fine to denounce the censorship of FPH community, it's fine to point out the hypocrisy of such a move. It's not fine to lose your collective shits because of it. You need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. GG is bigger than KiA. It's bigger than reddit. But if you keep on this course it will be impossible to separate GG from FPH and to the outsider you will forever be known as nothing more than a hate group.
EDIT: Yes, this is a throwaway account. I don't see how that changes a single thing I've said.
