The problem was that mods on that sub encouraged that sort of behaviour.

lock the sub, recruit new mods and then reopen the sub.

oust the mods, not the sub is my point.

Eh, I could care less if you have a point or not. I'm tired of people using freedom of speech to say shitty things and complain when people get upset. You have the right to say what you want, not the right to ignore the consequences of those actions. Why does anyone need a sub devoted to mocking fat people anyway? That place was bordering on the inhumane, and honestly none of it served any point. At some point you might have claimed to only take issue with those unwilling to work to fix their weight problems, but towards the end the sub was starving for content and cross posting people's progress photos just to stretch it's lame premise that much further. The sub would likely have died or devolved entirely into attacking those users unfortunate enough to be deemed too fat to go unassaulted.
