It's more of an echo chamber. They also state quite clearly that dissenting views are not welcome, so...

I do consider it a safe space. The media and the public are more accepting of being overweight, and many of the people behind this have more than a few screws loose. The point of view that is anti-fat is surpressed heavily, and more people cave into the conditioning that fat is ok! as time goes on.
Being surrounded by people who have surrendered to this social conditioning while making the effort to care for yourself can be exhausting, irritating, tragic and a plethora of other negative things. Fph, from what I understand, seeks to allow users who are anti-fat and in the non-fat minority the chance to offer a rebuttal of their own without the annoyances that are broken logic and heavy-handed bans from mods. The "safe space" aspect of it is also satirical, given that the flairs poke fun at the phrase "literally Hitler", the trump card for Tumblrinas and other enablers. Hitler himself led an oppressive regime, part of which was either starving labor workers in camps or getting fit to be one of his personal flunkies, so oddly, the parallel does exist within their community, (oppressive mods, fit or thin subverse members). Fph is a safe space with a bluntly-stated, unpopular opinion overall and their own brand of humor. It's supposed to be alienating to those who "don't get it", and a safe space for those who "belong".

Yes, I will consider them a safe space as long as they keep their poor method of engagement to their own subverse. I couldn't care less what a bunch of body dysmorphic whiners have to say about people who can't be bothered to care for their own bodies.
