I'll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was "Kitty."

Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of "if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!" or there's some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.

I don't condone their actions or views but I remember when that sub existed and I can shed some light on the fat hate redpill train of thought.

They tried to justify it saying that fat people were a drain on society because of health issues. They took up space in hospital rooms that could otherwise be used for "healthy people with real problems". Like they saw being fat as an issue that the person could fix by themselves, and they shouldn't take up medical resources. And they drive up insurance costs for companies because being fat is like a pre existing condition etc.

But what was it at the end of the day? A hate group. I get that America and other places have issues with weight, but the solution is not hate.
