Unexpected Jihad Erupts in r/RagenChastain Over Memories of Juvenile Activism

21  2016-10-06 by ricardogce

Background: Ragen Chastain is a fat activist and HAES ("health at every size") proponent who promotes herself as an "elite athlete". The sub named after her is focused on exposing her faulty or outright fraudulent claims. She claims to be training for next month's IronMan in Tempe, AZ, but having been disqualified from last year's event, and having been caught cheating at a 5k walk this summer, the sub is expecting the whole thing, and maybe Chastain's career, to finally fizzle out for good.

All caught up? Good. The above has nothing to do with the actual drama, though.

While discussing Chastain's latest post, /u/NormativeTruth made a passing comment about having once boycotted Israel and South Africa, and well, see for yourselves.
