If you're in my house, I'm going to hold you to a much higher standard than "not blatantly illegal". If you resent Reddit doing the same, well, the Internet isn't lacking for dank underbellies.

So I'm allowed to hold Klan meetings in your house, as long as I don't make fun of any overweight minorities?
Because that's what the admins have basically said, by their actions.

Nope, the Reddit admins just haven't closed those subreddits yet. But they will. They've closed the child porn subreddits, they've closed the revenge porn subreddits, they've closed the hate groups that bleed out into the larger internet. r/coontown will be closed, too. It hasn't yet, which is a shame, but if you read into that fact that the reddit admins approve of it, then be prepared to be disappointed in a few months when it gets closed, too.

Funny how you're getting downvoted for stating the obvious.

I probably sound more vested in the issue than I am. I probably also sound like I'm piling on with unhelpful feedback at a difficult time. I don't intend either -- I'm just a bit perplexed at why some forms of controversial, hate-oriented, and/or immature speech are considered OK on Reddit while others aren't.

They're getting downvoted for stating that it would be better if r/fatpeoplehate was still active on Reddit.

You do have an active imagination, I'll give you that much credit.
Which do you believe is the correct explanation? Can you see any other possibilities?
