Origin
/r/fatpeoplehate on Reddit was a popular subreddit with nearly 151,000 subscribers that was taken down by the administrators for voicing their opinion breaking new harassment rules
Take down
on June.10.2015 many Reddit users were dismayed to find that the popular subreddit had been replaced with 1 very saddening 404: not found page for the reason of trying to voice there opinions and help stop obesity, a problem recurring for years harassment, almost immediately threads started appearing on every other internet forum with numerous subscribers astounded how this happened, slowly a revolution formed and the top threads on Reddit were detailing how Reddit was now a sinking ship.
What caused the ban?
the ban was due to a anti-harassment policy which goes as follows:
Because of this, we are changing our practices to prohibit attacks and harassment of individuals through reddit with the goal of preventing them. We define harassment as:
Systematic and/or continued actions to torment or demean someone in a way that would make a reasonable person (1) conclude that reddit is not a safe platform to express their ideas or participate in the conversation, or (2) fear for their safety or the safety of those around them.
If you are being harassed, report the private message, post or comment and user by emailing contact@reddit.com or modmailing us; include external links if they are relevant.
Oh Internet.
after many laughs were had at this almost ridiculous post, many users flocked to 4chan and the all new and previously unknown voat.co to express there utter disbelief that the internet has sunk THIS low, to the point that we can’t even encourage fat people to lose weight without it being sussed as a “use of harassment” by Reddit’s terms and services, it wasn’t used on Reddit however, as people venting there anger out to the website itself, quickly came to the fact that the SJW task force of Reddit administrators were not happy that people were also not happy and quickly deleted any form of retaliation.
So who was the person who put into place these rules?
The dictator who put these rules into place is known as Ellen Pao ( also known as Chairman Pao) the CEO of Reddit, renowned as a Social Justice warrior and a fighter for equality, who believes solely that everyone is equal, (except she is more equal then everyone else) she has used her new authoritarian powers to good use however, seeing that now she is cleaning the internet of filth (despite not removing CoonTown, a pretty sourly-mouthed subreddit). and removing anything mean against fat people. because Fat acceptance is more serious than you know, Racism.
She has very strong arguments due to the fact she is a lawyer, this can be observed from the substantial fact of creating 2012’s funniest lawsuit of what she describes as “gender discrimination” and then pathetically failing at achieving anything. LOL
Reddit Revolts
however, now we have a problem, due to the fact Ellen Pao has literally taken away Reddit’s core values, she has divided the Reddit community into With and Against the mighty emperor herself.
People FOR her go into the categories of:
• SJW’s
• The morbidly obese
• Feminists (somehow)
• Liberals
• Her clients at court
• Her stalkers
• Her family
• The Tumblr crowd
• The Far-Left
• Probably Russel brand
People AGAINST her go into the categories of:
• The sane
• Redditors
• Overweight people that can take a joke about themselves
• The physically fit
• The mentally fit
• 4chan (because Reddit)
As it stands, Redditors againts chairman Pao (such as yours truly) are now using AdBlock Plus to deprive them of income, people who specifically want the /r/Fatpeoplehate subreddit are now using Voat.co, a rather shady but effective board hosted in Colombia, rendering The mighty one ineffective. losing income, and less of an audience
However on a positive note, some happy and generically nice people at the Voat HQ will be recieving quite a few paychecks.
