"The board approved removing r/fatpeoplehate, r/HamPlanetHatred, r/transfags, r/NeoFAG, and r/ShitN---ersSay. Notably not on this list was the overtly and enthusiastically racist r/CoonTown, which had about ten thousand subscribers. … Within minutes, the banned communities popped back up, having been reregistered by moderators using different names. The sequel subreddits weren't particularly creative: r/fatpeoplehate2, r/fatpeopleantipathy, r/wedislikefatpeople."
