I'm telling you that wasn't the alluded reason, there was dozen of deleted threads no only in gamig reddit. Twitch reddit also had lots of deleted threads...
Maybe I just didn't see enough of what was going on.
From what I have seen it doesn't look like reddit actively censored anything.
I still think reddit was flooded by a lot of fake users/trolls which caused a lot of threads to be deleted.
I really can't see why something like this would draw so much attention on it's own.
As far as I can see what happened was:
Some streamer got his emotes removed due to copyright claims.
Another streamer thought it is not just since Horror has an inappropriate emote as well, which isn't removed since he is a mod. So he decided it would be OK to make fun of Horror by telling a sexist joke (apparently this is considered normal behaviour by twitch users). So he got banned.
Lots of fans decided to defend their favorite streamer by harassing Horror and some got banned as well.
I am not saying that Horror was right or wrong . I don't think it's even relevant. The main issue here is how it was handled by the rest of the twitch staff. Instead of trying to diffuse the situation they let and even encouraged it to escalate.
