This was an incredibly bad business decision for the following reason:
When you were not banning any subreddits, you could make the legal claim that you were an open, public forum, and that you were not liable for any defamatory or inciting posts on the site.
Now, you've taken the step of actively censoring content. Therefore it can argued that ANY significant subreddit that you haven't banned is operating with your knowledge, approval, and cooperation.
So you shut down a subreddit that hates on fat people, but you left up the overtly racist subreddits that made national headlines several months ago?
Mashable, Gawker, Salon, Dailykos, The Independent, etc... are all major publications that over a span of months have called out reddit for allowing racist subreddits to thrive. Their arguments were all moot until today.
This policy would have been a huge legal misstep even if handled appropriately. But this sloppy execution makes the responsible administrators look embarrassingly ignorant or incompetent at best, and overtly racist at worst.

Yishan Wong, the site's former CEO, has stated that "We stand for free speech. This means we are not going to ban distasteful subreddits. We will not ban legal content even if we find it odious or if we personally condemn it."
So much for that

"You agree to not intentionally jeopardize the health and safety of others or yourself."
Sounds like they should ban /r/HAES or /r/thinspo if that's their true goal.

basically, according to reddit's definition of "harassment," if one dude says 'i will hurt you if we meet' and this makes you anxious as fuck or "fearful for your life," you can report a subreddit and potentially get it nuked

$10 says a new fatpeoplehate subreddit will be up and running within 24 hours.
edit 1: The fat hatred will rise again!
/r/fatpersonhate
/r/fatpeoplehate2 Community moving to /r/fatpersonhate
/r/fatpeoplehate3
/r/shitlordlounge
/r/largepeoplehate
/r/FatDislike
/r/fatpeopleloathing
/r/AdiposeAmigos
/r/fatpeoplehating
/r/MorbidyObesityFans
/r/adminhate (for shits and giggles)
slimgur.com (the zero calorie, big on taste alternative to imgur).

Also, if you're going after harassing subreddits Admins, look no further than /r/subredditdrama and /r/shitredditsays. It would be a real shame if people started downvoting shit and disrupting those subreddits in protest right now.
edit 2: I will update my list of new FPH subs as people let know about them.
edit 3: /r/fatpeoplehate2 's only mod was banned. Someone go /r/redditrequest that shit.
edit 4: I filed a complaint using modmail against 3 subreddits:
/r/subredditdrama
/r/shitredditsays
/r/bestof
Although I don't have anything personally against /r/bestof, it does seem like it violates reddit's harassment policy.
edit 5: In case I get banned, it's been an honor my fellow shitlords.
