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.

I'm guessing it's Lady Ballers since someone else mentioned it was pinned on IPT and I looked up all the movies to see if any were controversial. Here is a quote from newsweek about Lady Ballers:

The film has been slammed as transphobic by LGBTQ+ people and their allies, but many people took to movie-rating website Rotten Tomatoes to give Lady Ballers five stars. Its release comes amid an ongoing cultural war about transgender rights, especially around competing in sports with cisgender women.

I think triggered snowflake fascists are the only people who still use those rating sites. Then, they the user ratings (which they rigged) don't match the staff ratings.
