Where your thinking is flawed is in the idea that major subreddits won't be affected by reddit's stance change. Specifically, banning isn't the only way to affect a subreddit, it's merely one of the most final. As for your fixation on /r/coontown. Can you remind me, wasn't there a famous person once who made a quote about the unpopular opinions being the ones that needed defending? There's a clear difference between what /r/fatpeoplehate was doing and /r/coontown. You may not like that they exist, but your offense should not be enough to get that subreddit banned. OTOH, reddit is a private company and they can do what they want, but taking the moral highroad in this argument from your side is silly, especially seeing how you seem to be wanting to infringe on others' free speech because you don't like what they use it for. And wasn't there a famous person that had a quote pertaining to that? I think so.
