[REDACTED] is a female games developer who has gotten into some controversy over one of her games [REDACTED] which got some positive press which if her ex-boyfriend [REDACTED] is to be believed is due to [REDACTED] having [REDACTED] with the people that provided the positive press. A thread on /r/gaming about Totalbiscut’s take on this incident quickly became a comment graveyard as the moderators hit the “DELETE [REDACTED] EVERYTHING” button despite the fact that 99% of the comments on that thread were legitimate discussion in full compliance with the subreddit and site wide rules and the reddit admins also quickly banned subreddits dedicated to discussing the latest [REDACTED] incident without doxxing or witch hunting. Then led to further accusations that [REDACTED] has also [REDACTED] said reddit admins in order to keep this incident from coming to light. 4chan has also been removing threads about this incident all over the damn place leading to more accusations that [REDACTED] has also [REDACTED] 4chan mods.

Personally I think that while the [REDACTED] incident itself is certainly worthy of some negative reaction the subsequent silencing of that reaction by people that [REDACTED] is alleged to have [REDACTED] presents not only a massive conflict of interest but also serves to highlight why such broad censorship is such a bad idea. If you [REDACTED] everything then how can [REDACTED] with legitimate [REDACTED] discuss them?
