/r/FatPeopleHate banned for harassment -- TRP next?

sumant28 · 2015-06-10T21:15:55+00:00

The thread on TBP about this really reveals their true colours. It's pretty much the same sub convergence with SRS SRD and Gamerghazi.

What they want is moral thought policing and misogyny is their go-to anti-intellectual crusade to fall back on

Atlas_B_Shruggin · 2015-06-10T20:00:09+00:00

I can't see how trp is a "harassing" sub. If anything, all metasubs should be banned

Vornnash · 2015-06-10T20:04:07+00:00

Apparently FPH posts were being removed from imgur. This caused a backlash on FPH and some of the mods started posting photos of fat employees at imgur (with no names or other personal information attached).

Not unless TRP starts hitting the front page on the regular.

Reginleifer · 2015-06-10T20:33:43+00:00

While I do not support the bannings, I can imagine why r/fatpeoplehate got banned instead of r/coontown or r/theredpill.

FHP and SNS sound like one of those sites where people take photos or screenshots of other people and post it there, creating either a brigade or a circlejerk. TRP sometimes screenshots, but is more focused on the behavior of women AS A WHOLE. Same thing seems to be the case with coontown who even sharing stories about individuals, grab them from news sites-public information isn't of involuntarily creep-shotting them into the convo.

This seems to be the reason for the bans, along with a rumor that FHP posted images of imgur employees on their thread because of their posts being deleted on imgur.

The problem with these bans is that they aren't enforced equally, SRS screenshots and harasses individual redditors for their private shit all the time. While reddit mods and admins ban people for commenting on publicly available information on individuals under "harassment".

Their definition and enforcement of "harassment" rules is effed up.

We won't be banned. At the end of the day we live our life the way we see fit. If you aren't doing that, you aren't living.

Nazrath2112 · 2015-06-10T21:47:06+00:00

Lots of fatpersonhate and fatpeoplehate2 subreddits are turning up.

rulenumber303 · 2015-06-10T22:17:24+00:00

Can't say I really blame Reddit for taking some sort of disciplinary action against FPH, if they were harassing employees of a major company that redditors rely upon to help with a large amount of their redditing. I mean seriously guys what were you thinking... that you could do/allow/cheer this and it wouldn't ring alarm bells for Reddit and you would not face blowback? Maybe FPHers don't have fat bodies (maybe... on the internet lies are easy) but they sure as fuck have fatheads.

wazzup987 · 2015-06-10T22:29:24+00:00

chairman poa has spoken

lisfb · 2015-06-11T02:00:49+00:00

I don't understand why fatlogic was removed. It was nothing like fph.

foxmulders · 2015-06-11T04:00:12+00:00

here's hoping :)

GayLubeOil · 2015-06-11T08:45:15+00:00

The current backlash to the banning is hurting Reddit bad. The top posts on reddit are usually in support of Space X, Law Enforcement, Anti Russia or some other corporate government agenda. The FPH backlash is preventing the monied interests from getting their voices heard. This is very very bad for Reddit.

TheGreasyPole · 2015-06-10T20:11:45+00:00

It's happening. Digg 2.0 here we come.

cxj · 2015-06-10T23:57:57+00:00

God damn it, fph was one of my favorite subs ever. Reddit always bans my favorite subs, RIP r/jailbait :, (

sohamster · 2015-06-10T21:38:48+00:00

I doubt it. FPH was attacking individuals. TRP hasn't done that in a while, as far as I know.

CursedLemon · 2015-06-10T20:04:08+00:00

Well, TRP claims that they're not a misogynist subreddit, and all of those subs clearly existed for the sole purpose of spreading hate and collective degradation.

London-Bananas · 2015-06-10T20:59:49+00:00

Reddit doesn't have some moral agenda to keep hate from spreading. They want to make money. And advertisers don't want to advertise on websites where fat people being made fun of is a part of the front page. Especially if a lot of advertisers target this audience (advertisers know EXACTLY) how fat reddit users are on average.

4chan had the same problem. Despite having millions and millions of users per day, they struggled to attract any advertisers at all. I think until recently DuckDuckGo started, they almost solely relied on those "tentacle grape juice" ads from JList

RedIsSafe · 2015-06-10T23:55:15+00:00

Well feminism is trying to get people banned: http://www.reddit.com/r/Feminism/comments/39bsvy/reddit_bans_rfatpeoplehate_rhamplanethatred/cs2b5rq

cxj · 2015-06-11T03:35:49+00:00

I got banned from fatpeople hate, and I've torched members when I caught them outside the safety of their treehouse.

HOWEVER. this shitstorm is glorious and I could not be happier that the denizens of FPH are shitting up the front page of /r/all and making life as difficult as they can for the admins.

this is what happens when bad people pretending to be good people (sjws) run into bad people that don't waste their time with pretense (FPH).

tl:dr the dicks are fucking the assholes

nemma88 · 2015-06-11T10:09:50+00:00

Oh I liked the part that suggested any meaningful discussions ever went on in those subs in the first place. Someone else mentioned the circumstances around the harassment and yeah - they asked for it.

Top kek.

Vornnash · 2015-06-11T12:46:43+00:00

I think there is a misunderstanding here. The reason it was taken down is IMHO not obnoxiousness or being hatey. I think it is privacy.

One thing admins - rightly - are very much against is breaching the privacy of people without their consent. As in, doxxing, as in, creepshots, and so on. Taking photos of people and publishing it without their consent is downright illegal in some jurisdictions but even where not, doing it with the purpose of exposing them to an online hate campaign is really beyond the pale.

I mean, the idea is that you can be obnoxious, you can just not pile it that way on a single person, because that is bullying and above all do not take photos of people and publish it without their consent.

Remarkably, TRP is typically not doing any such thing. There is a lot of obnoxiousness there, but more like aimed at "bitches" in general and not on a specific person with photo.

haircombsnightmare · 2015-06-10T20:46:45+00:00

How crazy. Just today I saw it and I thought "how weird it hasn't been banned yet", and well. I'm very glad it was.

About TRP, well... I can't say I wouldn't be happy if it were. But they aren't breaking any laws, they're jerks there exclusively. So I don't think it will be banned.

Except for some of the rape things they publish.

CopperFox3c · 2015-06-10T19:41:52+00:00

i hope not. but even if it is, im sure theredpill will find an alternative site

Villaintine · 2015-06-10T19:51:23+00:00

Maybe, if TRP creates enough negative publicity. /r/all was sometimes overflowing with /r/FPH posts (especially recently), I can't really say the same about TRP.

Either way it wouldn't surprise me. Reddit is a business and business strategy is amoral. They'll do whatever they believe will earn them dem sweet, sweet moneys in the long run. And it's about time that Reddit starts making a profit, too, so be prepared to see more "sanitizing" of content to make the site more attractive to advertisers and investors.

Villaintine · 2015-06-10T22:01:51+00:00

It wouldn't be hard to create your own forum if that did happen. It wouldn't surprise me if there already were private red pill ones.

Imagine that? No blue pillers to deal with :) :)

andrewisgood · 2015-06-11T00:31:34+00:00

So I have seen threads like this before and might do a similar comment on TBP, so here goes.

If TRP is proven to be harassing people, then see ya later, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. If not, then there's nothing that really can be done.

One issue that could arise is potentially trying to help or convince someone into raping someone else or teaching someone to do it and try to get away with it. One problem with TRP is I don't believe many people there know what constitutes rape and if there's anything that's gonna get them booted from reddit, it's that. If reddit has a policy against hate groups, there might be a case for banning. My issue is, I'm for fighting bad ideas with good ideas and that's why I'd be for TRP not getting banned.

Lokismoke · 2015-06-10T20:58:39+00:00

I'd be surprised.

As misogynistic and hateful as TRP is, I've never seen them successfully brigade (harass) any other subreddits.
