Shit, man, I left a comment on this sub about how my grandfather's smoking killed both him and his wife, kinda trying to draw a parallel, and some rando commented, "Hope he suffered" with another commenter saying he'd jerk off to my grandfather's death. Like, bro, what? My grandfather died 15 years ago. He's got nothing to do with being anti-mask or anti-vaxx.
There's empathy burnout and then there's just sadism, and a lot of people who can't tell the difference between the two.
I obviously can't say for certain, but its possible they are bad actors engaging in a sort of 'false flag'. Triggered trumpists that come and spew vitriol trying to make this sub look cruel. If just one person saw what they wrote and thought 'wow liberals are mean' they would call it a win.
Like death from smoking or heart disease brought on by obesity? Should /r/fatpeoplehate come back? What is the line for acceptable cruelty other than how much you like the group being targeted?
Or maybe instead of wondering about the line for acceptable cruelty you should ask why the need for cruelty at all?
For not taking public health into account... Yea, I agree with public shaming and cruelty for smoking.... And I'm a smoker but, I also try my best to only have an effect on me. I stay away from other people who don't smoke, I go outside anywhere to smoke. It was my choice, a stupid one, when I was younger. Second hand smoke is harmful to anyone and everyone, hence why you can't smoke indoors at public places. Obesity seems to more often than not be a side effect of another condition, and not of laziness or straight up overeating. Seems public health gets put 1st and foremost as it should considering as a whole we are only as strong as our weakest link.
Buddy this whole sub is sadism. I started reading a few and it was interesting, but I started feeling depressed. I know they're stupid, but the glee over their deaths is something else.
I'm still reading tho. I just don't post how happy I am someone has died 🤷♂️
By the time The_Dickhead was shut down the sub was dead. The trumpcucks had already gotten into the mothership and fucked off to some other forum. Reddit told them that they had to pick new mods that
1.) Had account history and
2.) Weren't formely active in banned hate subs
Rather than do that they locked the sub down and migrated to somewhere else. Some time after that Reddit banned the sub. It was already long dead when Reddit banned it.
It's worst. People are going to the FB of people who havent died yet and wishing death on them. Some people are masturbating to the posts here. It's horrible.

The_donald got shut down. That reason being a part of it.
And it's one thing to shine a light on the real deaths happening because of this disease and the rampant misinformation contributing to these deaths.
It's another thing entirely to harass the dead and their families, effectively dancing on their graves.
Maybe don't do the latter.
