I totally agree with their stance against the Health At Every Size movement or the argument that fat is a condition, etc... but I don't like the subs overall attitude of just straight up being mean for the sake of being mean. They say it's a health thing, but it seems like the most vocal members just want to be assholes for the sake of being assholes.

Fat Person at the gym, to me, is a good thing. We should encourage those people or at the very least just not talk about them... but FPH members actually make fun of those people to the point where they've even made posts talking about how they don't want fat people at the gym at all. I feel like FPH says it's a 'health issue', but the members are really just petty and mean.... which is a shame, because that's what Reddit said, and it's what fat people say.... and I hate to side with either of those groups.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I never really went there when it was a Reddit sub, and mostly just subbed here because I was curious about what it was actually like and so I could judge it for myself. After a while it begain to wear thin, I don't think it should be banned or anything, just not something I'm interested in seeing everyday so I blocked it.

Which is why I have the situation in the picture above, I've blocked a sub I'm subscribed to.
