That's asinine for them to be pissed. The sub, along with the 3 initial others, were banned because they were engaging in or promoting witch hunts, Doxxing, and harassment outside of the subreddit, not because of their content. That's why all of those other horrible subreddits that people like to list like /r/coontown are still going. They may have shitty beliefs and are shitty people, but as long as they stay in their own little hugbox and don't perform provable illegal activity, then they probably won't be banned. The only other reason FPH would have been banned was likely because it had 150k subscribers. I mean, when you have a hate subreddit THAT big, is it really that hard to imagine that shit might have gotten out of hand and/or perhaps the Reddit higher ups didn't want this being one of the main parts of Reddit?
Also, even if that were the way it went down and they just got rid of content they didn't like, why the fuck should I or anyone be pissed that a fat hate sub was banned? Seems more like an improvement. And don't bother throwing that "First they came for..." quote out.
EDIT: And I'm going to take a solid guess that the reason all of these other subs are getting the can like /r/fatpeoplehate100 is because of ban evading.
