Welp, out of curiosity, I read up on this movie. It's way dumber than I expected from the title. It's just 'Ladybugs' all over again.
Edit: holy shit does this get worse and worse. It's like a right-wing wet dream. The cast is literally nothing but hate-group aligned right-wing YouTube personalities lol.
They even have Ted Cruz in it (as himself).
This nightmare world we live in would be hilarious if we didn't have to, you know, live in it.
Gross, Shapiro is in it. Just go watch ladybugs, at least it had the kid from Seaquest.
Lol, the more right wingers bitch about this the more I straight up want drag queens to actually do this.
Let's unironically make the strawman world right wingers are mad at so they can seethe.
It’s just ‘Ladybugs’ all over again.
The only ladybugs I know of is Lindsey Graham:

Wow...TIL
Daily Wire? Yeah, no thanks.
Tell me at least the main characters learn a heart-warming lesson at the end.
Lol, streaming on DailyWire+. Not even straight to DVD.
The uploader deleted it so their drones can make social media posts claiming it was censored to generate more buzz and make sure everyone knows it exists.
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.
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.
Bleh, didn't know IPT was run by chuds.
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.
If they have this shit movie pinned then that tracks
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
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.
EDIT: The movie was Lady Ballers 2023
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.
