Why the quotes around censorship? I think there are a few reasons: A bunch of the angry group didn't care about censorship until something they like got censored Being associated with fat people haters is a lot better than being associated with pedophiles. Posting sexualish pictures of other people feels more like a violation of their privacy. The subreddit's title, maybe most of the posts were legal but you can understand banning a subreddit if it puts the site as a whole at even the slightest danger. /r/FPH was a hate-based subreddit, and I think much bigger. So it's users are a lot more likely to backlash and influence outsiders about whether or not the censorship was justified.I still wonder why the "censorpship" of /r/fatpeoplehate make so many more people angry than /r/jailbait "censorship's"
