reddit's decision to shut down /r/fatpeoplehate.
this is the best thing i've read in a long time. good riddance to bad people.
Yes, a website that hosts rape fantasies, pictures of "attractive" corpses/autopsy photos, /r/coontown, snuff film scripts, and neo-nazi propaganda changed its long running rules towards open speech because a group of 250,000+ subscribers who said "obesity is unhealthy and unattractive and if you're obese it's 100% on your decisions so to hell with #fataccepatance" is beyond all common decency.
We live in a country where 2/3rds of people are overweight, and its a health crisis. What's more heinous: the person who says "try eating less, it's not your 'geneticks' or your 'condishuns' fault, its you," or People Magazine who puts a 300 pounds, size 28+ "model" on its cover to promote being morbidly obese? Should we completely ignore a health crisis because it hurts someone's feelings to be forced to acknowledge IT'S 100% ON YOU.
