Personally, I just want free speech to be... free. That means that I recognise people's right to say mean things. I'd also like to say that, although making fun of fat people can hardly be considered a good use of this right, the subreddit in question was just one side of a coin. You've probably heard of the "fat acceptance/healthy at any size" movement that's been growing bigger and louder recently, and I think subreddits like fatpeoplehate are partly a reaction to this attempt to make obesity look normal.
