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.

      Right. Out of morbid curiosity…. I want to know. Knowing that it will be a disappointing answer.

      A controversial movie…

      The hell? CP, extreme political viewpoint; see now my mind is wondering. “Guess who’s coming to Dinner “? Controversial in its era —

      Oh I’ll bet it’s the Mormon Temple ceremony. lol

        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.
