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.

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

That is a highly upvoted post as far as this site goes. Yet not much discussion, certainly a downside of this place.

I love the hypocrisy of Asia. Not that Bourdain needed anyone feeling sorry for him, but I wonder what was going through his mind, when he found out about this.
