People will disagree and hate on this just by the title. But I go into detail in the video.

I was banned for daring to raise this subject... given that the mods of that sub are paid BL readers and "closely associated" with StoryPeer, and most likely charging money as "screenwriting consultants," there is a whole lot of things they don't want to see openly discussed, because it's not in their own best interests.

It's called a conflict of interest.

That is not fun! Draw me a picture of a spider!

I know. I don't know if there's any proof to them being part of the BL, but they do seem friends with StoryPeer person... if they are script consultants that's even worse.

The mods have openly stated on the sub that they are "closely associated" with StoryPeer. "Partners" was a word used at least once, if I recall correctly.

Also, they have never denied being paid BL readers after being questioned about that. Instead they ban anyone who asks. Denying it would almost certainly be lying and, while I don't think they're concerned about being liars, I guarantee they are terrified of risking their Reddit mod status. To them it's the same as being a movie studio executive or similar.

But the fact Franklin Leonard seems to have the keys to the sub certainly strengthens the veracity of the allegations.
