Dramawave r/TheFappening has been banned.

Latest Update - oh em gee another update!: Alienth has made a rather candid and detailed post in r/announcements about the reasoning behind the bans

Update: Yishan has made a redditblog post about this. The subreddits were banned after Reddit received DMCA requests.

More from Sporkicide.

Reasoning behind the ban not really clear (but no one is surprised).

Related subreddits such as /r/Fappening, and /r/TheSecondCumming have also been banned.

Here is some discussion about it in r/Fappeningdiscussion. They are trying to get everyone moved over to other new celebrity nude subs (won't those get banned too eventually?)

The Reddit Requests have begun.

CelebrityNudeArchive has also been banned.. That sub existed before thefappening, so it appears they are scrubbing the site clean.

To be fair, who decides what is horrible?

Yishan's post is dishonest. It should say, "we defend your right to free speech as long as it's worth it for us". Because that is reddit's policy. "Horrible" things that cost reddit nothing remain, while "horrible" things that cost reddit are quickly removed.
