Yesterday there was a controversial movie torrent that was getting 1000s of downloads and was on the "popular this week" page, and today it's just gone. I went to the uploader's account page and it's not there either. Just like it never existed.

I'm SUPER curious of the story behind what happened. Did the uploader take it down? 1337? Why?

EDIT: The movie was Lady Ballers 2023 (wasn't sure if I was allowed to say) I did a little more research, and I think the copy the uploader put out was YTS but I don't think they were affiliated with them. Maybe YTS told them to take it down? The movie is on their (YTS/YIFY's) website.

Ah so it's like a less funny version of "The Ringer"

but instead of cheating at the special Olympics by pretending to be retarded, they cheat in women's sports by pretending to be trans.

Meh, Southpark already did it.

Futurama did it too. Though I remember it being actually funny, without all the associated culture war baggage.

More of a commentary on Bender's poor impulse control and minimal ethics than on society I would say

Yeah, they were definitely ahead of their time when it came to social issues

No way, did Ben Sharpie actually make Divarsity?
