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.

It does does suck giant donkey balls. I never went over when voat was at its prime and I prefer the low key nature here but there are some things that just don’t thrive outside of big popular sites like Reddit.

I love how the mod calls r/AnthonyBourdain “his” sub like some overlord on what can and cannot be said about Bourdain. What a piece of shit.

Sigh, I fell dirty too after my visits there. Guess I’ll just have one side conversations with myself about Asia and #metoo.

I gave a pretty in-depth comment to an article posted here but didn’t feel this community wanted more discussion of it. I was looking to get to talk to a large group of people interested in the case, Reddit has that large group but now even they are being close to censored.

Edit: I also wanted to read comments from Bourdain fans
