   • 2015 June 11, Alex Abad-Santos, “Why Reddit's ban on Fat People Hate is ripping it apart”, in Vox‎:

     The users of FPH referred to themselves "shitlords" and "shitladies," a mild acknowledgment that they knew they were mean people. And they would call the fat people they were laughing at names like "hamplanet," "landwhale," and "butterbeast."

     Reddit is not actually protecting overweight people. Of the five forums banned, two — Fat People Hate and Ham Planet Hatred — did relate to fat-shaming.
