At least FPH was funny.

I never really saw the problem with them TBH. Obesity is a huge problem, and making it taboo to criticize just because it hurts somebody's feelings will only make the problem worse and lead to more health problems and greater suffering. It's literally killing people.

In my book, one problem with FPH et al. is that they appear to be far more interested in exploiting the issue for narcissistic sanctimony and ultimately bigotry than actually tackling it.

Just bringing up the readily available fact that obesity in many cases is not proportional to the amount of "bad" food consumed and/or physical exercise skipped but strongly linked to the genetic and epigenetic aspects of metabolism (vulgo: how the individual's body processes the food taken in) and that likewise, one's skinniness is often not testament to one's frugality and virtue in life, will send them into hissy fits.

I do not agree with cracking down on FPH et al. and/or making them outcasts either. But they definitely ain't boy scouts just trying to highlight a problem.

Probably TheDonald, I feel like they have some legitimately funny trolls who do things for "teh lulz".

First draft pick = FPH I can tolerate some TDW and Qanon because at least some of those are patriotic, courteous, and interested in the truth. (75% of qanon are a pain because they will flay you if you see things differently.) Voat, idk I've been watching them fling and smear poo all over anyone else who will have them since Christmas

Glad someone saw fit to welcome me here, it's quieter but looks sane

FPH was the group most of us came out of anyway, whether we were part of it originally or not. It's not really about whether we agree with the ideas of it, but that we didn't like the banning of communities on reddit. So we went to Voat to show our support, then the rest is history.

Would you rather Phuks be swarmed by users from Voat, FatPeopleHate, TheDonald, or QAnon?

...than Phuks becoming the North Korea of reddit clones? 🤔

Yes, actually, I would. 😌

Behind those buzzwords, there are actual people, 9 out of 11 of whom weren't born that way but were led astray at some point. They all deserve another chance to mend their ways. And if they don't snap out of it, we can still kick them out.
(I'd volunteer. 🕶 🦺📢)
And there's nothing stopping you from creating your personal safespaces & echo chambers via Phuk's trusty content blocking features either.

This whole sniffishly Clintonian "deplorables" attitude does not really befit one who fancies grandstanding on the other hemispectrum of the bigotry scale. In fact, as recent history has shown yet again... it breeds monsters.

Jesus Christ man we're not a re-education camp. We just don't want to get the site nuked for tos violations, and want to keep our community small and friendly.

He's definitely got some kind of autism. The question is if it's the good kind.
