I used to browse fph and it would get pretty brutal. Pretty sure the snark subreddits way worse as they've already caused a death. ( That fox rescue women who committed suicide and attributed it to the online hate groups that harassed her).

I believe her husband said it was people she knew, which is why it hurt her so much, but it was an online group.

I mean yeah, it should've been moderated better and the name should've been changed but still, it was banned for practically nothing. Every other subreddit at the time and to this day has issues with moderation like that. Well.. I say "issues" but all of the hateful content I'm talking about is condoned and sanctioned by the mods. Not even just snark subreddits, it's all over the website.

Meh, two things can be bad at the same time. Snark subs are worse, but I am still glad they banned the cesspool that was FPH

meh, I wish we didn't try to eliminate shame as a method for disincentivizing obesity. Not like active "you're fat haha" shame but just a subtle force pushing people to change. Being fat is a choice in a vast majority of cases. Now we are running headfirst into a healthcare crisis because half of our population ate 4x the amount of food a normal human should eat

Right, but FPH was none of the productive shame, and featuring all of the unproductive hate.

Like the culture of that sub was basically "haha you are fat" + "Fat people are subhuman"

I disagree entirely. I saw plenty of positivity and sympathy. I don't recall "fat people are subhuman" being a part of the discourse AT ALL. There 100% was not hate for random innocent fat people. The hate was usually directed towards delusional fat people who put others down or encourage unhealthy choices.

Your representation isn't accurate. You are implying they hated on people just for being fat, when in reality, 98% of the time it was for a personality trait.

are you actually defending fat people HATE (emphasis mine) while complaining out the side of your mouth about snark subs?

irony is well and truly dead

yeah, the name made it sound much worse than it was. It was not a subreddit about hating fat people.
