That is definitely not true. Nobody who read posters cackling about "hamplanets" could honestly believe that.

And again you're confusing making fun of with hatred.

I can make fun of my wife and my kids and my friends, call them funny names. It doesn't mean I hate them.

That may be true. But it's also very clear to those that visited the sub that FPH was far beyond just "funny names" and definitely lived up to it's name.

You realize you keep getting the name wrong? The phrase literally means "the things that fat people hate".

I would completely agree with you if the sub was named IHateFatPeople or FatPeopleSuck.

That is not the most obvious interpretation and I don't see any evidence for it except that it would be convenient to your argument if it were true.

I would not post on a forum called "my stupid bitch wife" or call her that online.
