I have been very interested in the Asia Argento and Anthony Bourdain #metoo case. Haven’t been able to get much conversation here about it so I went looking. I went to Reddit’s Bourdain sub and for the first two days the case broke the sub was backing off moderation and I could almost almost tolerate Reddit.

Today I saw this post and I’m just so amazed how far Reddit’s fall has been. Check out all the mods responses to criticism.

Reddit as a whole has been deleting anything related to Asia for two days now. Only allowing posts in the metoo sub which has circle jerked itself into believing Asia.

I know this will not shock any of you.

What is it you want to say about the Asia Argento and Anthony Bourdain #metoo case?

Not that I personally have a ton to say, I was looking to lurk at comments. There are so few comments on this site and Reddit with that large userbase I can easily lurk and research. I wanted to read likeminded pissed off Bourdain fans. Soon that Reddit sub will be censored because one power mod thinks talks of Asia will last forever and have no merit in the sub.

My favorite comment from the thread I posted

Anthony Bourdain would never in a million years sided with censorship on any level. The fact that you are trying to sensor a subreddit bearing his name is not only hubris of the highest order but a total and complete insult to the man this sub is dedicated to. If this rule stands, I'm tossing this sub like over done steak.
