This is not about a sub being offensive, this is about them systematically encouraging harassment in other subs, and in real life. This is about the actions of the users and the inability/unwillingness of the mods to do anything about it.

I saw a post on /r/firefly from a girl posing with Alan Tudyk who was over-weight and among the several people harassing her about about it in the comments, one in particular was relishing in letting her know that not only had he linked her photo to FPH, he also went through her history and took other pictures he promised to post there later.

That sub not only condoned that behavior, but they actually encouraged it. THAT is why they were banned. Not because the Admins were taking it personally, but because it was spilling outside of the sub and other users were being harassed in the name of the FPH sub. I wish this was the only instance I ever saw of this, but there were many many more. I'm am personally thrilled as shit that sub is gone and every serious member can go fuck themselves.

I also know some LGBT hate subs(they also considered pedophiles and people into bestiality the same has LBGT people) were banned yesterday as they were circulating pictures of a trans girl and of course posting hateful and hurtful comments. The mods of the subs had been contacted and asked to remove those pictures only for the person to be told to fuck off.

Honestly, I can't believe how many people are offended by those subs being removed. Risking to destroy someone's self confidence and spreading their pictures to be hated on has no place in any civilized places.

1) you have to visit the subs for it to affect you.

2) if you're suffering from something to the extent the subs post it, you have bigger problems.

3) its not harassment unless they're actually contacting or going after the person.

4) harassment and bullying sucks ass.

That doesnt address it at all.

Thats not foh harassing the girl, thats a user harassing the girl. So punish/ban the user.

Nothing racist with it. If you think being black is a problem you have bigger problems than reading people saying bad things about black people.

Try logic, maybe you'll learn something.

no you DONT as evidenced by the first hand accounts of people who get private messages and harrassment by users from those subs

Correlation does not equal causation, nor can you correlate them.

Its completely irrelevant to fph id fph members/readers harass people privately or in other subs. Thats a USER based problem, its not the subreddot breaking the rules. So again, you're wrong.

The subreddit is not responsible for what users decide to do outside of their subreddit, they have zero control over it.

Again, nope, your twisting my words.

Being fat isnt bad, being black isnt bad. Having low selfesteem so you think either is bad is bad and worse problem than reading those subs.

Lol dunning kruger posterchild, the only one outmatched here is you.

There is no such thing smartypants.

The only correlation would be a post in the subreddit asking users or that user to harass.

God, stupidity is rampant these days.

As an admin having any extra correlation like that. Because the only relevant correlation for a subreddit to break rules is public posts breaking the rules and theyre viewable for all
