Yep. Claim victimhood. Fascism 101.
Fascists are boring. It's the same strategy for almost a hundred years. Orwell on Hitler:
It is a pathetic, dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs. In a rather more manly way it reproduces the expression of innumerable pictures of Christ crucified, and there is little doubt that that is how Hitler sees himself. The initial, personal cause of his grievance against the universe can only be guessed at; but at any rate the grievance is here. He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds. If he were killing a mouse he would know how to make it seem like a dragon. One feels, as with Napoleon, that he is fighting against destiny, that he can’t win, and yet that he somehow deserves to. The attraction of such a pose is of course enormous; half the films that one sees turn upon some such theme.
Today's mice are an incredibly marginalised and incredibly small sexual minority. But fascists will pretend they're not, that they're part of the elite trying to cause degeneracy. Not billionaire rapists like Musk or Trump.
Not as if fascists are going to actually fix the big shit, like the economy, the environment, or affordable housing. Not as if they're going to stand up to the countries actually threatening western values, like Russia or China. No. Now they've decided it's some nobody in the arse end of America, who feels happier wearing a dress.
People who fall for that shit are morons. Not that most fascists actually believe their own bullshit. They just do it shock and disconcert people, and because they hate those they perceive weaker than them. Just like their Dear Leader considers them scum, has regularly said he is disgusted by them, because they're so weak that they've chosen to lick his boots.

Wouldn't surprise me, with pirates generally being pretty permissable and that being the only trick right wingers seem to know.
Mass reporting or personal politics of the admins probably. IPT on the other hand has it pinned as a Staff Pick lol
I had no idea IPT was so scummy. Guess I’ll be steering clear now.
What is IPT?
IPTorrents, private tracker, not well regarded due to management but has lots of content
I would leave my laptop on 24/7 for years to make sure I seeded as much as possible on IPT. Then I wasn't able to login or seed for a couple months and they locked my account. I went into their IRC to get it unlocked, and they said I should have logged in and could pay like $200 to get it unlocked. At the time I didn't even have that much money in my account. I tried to reason with them, about how much I've uploaded and loved the site, and without a second response they just muted me and after a PM trying to talk to the guy they kicked and banned me from the IRC.
FUCK IPTorrents.
Are you using something else? I'm on IPT, never had any issues, but I'm willing to move.
TorrentLeech
No I got a better job after that and pretty much only pirate popular stuff that shows on 1337x, TPB, or TorrentGalaxy. I used to pirate mostly software but because of the increasing risk of ransomware and FUD rootkit botnets, I'd rather just pay $30 for it. I'll still pirate something and run it in a VM if I /really/ need to and it's $1,000 and I'm going to use it 5 times, but I usually just buy software now.
I'll probably get a seedbox setup and run Plex for media soon, in which case I'll just use open trackers or find some non-IPT private tracker.
Yeah, I don't pirate software, but I'd prefer to stick to private trackers, even though i'm tempted to look at stuff like radarr and sonarr that use public trackers too, just for convenience.
The only difference between public and private trackers is availability and quality. You should have a VPN always enabled (through the closest locale if you like, for speed) or a seedbox which is even better than a VPN. If public trackers have what you want, there's zero reason not to use them.
When I was back on IPT, I found one of the top software uploaders binding a fully undetectable backdoor downloader to his downloads. Never in the installer or anything, always bound to the main software file and could be unbound after install and activation. Always showed 0/50 on virustotal etc. Since I was somewhat into malware analysis at the time, I tried to do some analysis on it but of course it would detect my analysis of it and just not run. Whereas if I ran the software on an old PC, it would do it's thing and I could detect it after the fact, but still not get very far.
I used a lot of software from that guy previously. Who knows what keys to the kingdom he has.
If they have this shit movie pinned then that tracks
Bleh, didn't know IPT was run by chuds.
What movie?
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
The movie was Lady Ballers 2023
Lol
EDIT: The movie was Lady Ballers 2023
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
Why don't you name the movie?
Edit: OP did
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:
it was pinned on IPT
No surprise the piece of shit tracker acts like pieces of shit.

It was probably the content moderators if it was a controversial movie like you said. There's not really a way to find out what happened unless you contact the admins.
Forget about the history. What "controversial movie" are we talking about?
EDIT: The movie was Lady Ballers 2023
I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Probably uploading viruses
