The controversial post that split r/figureSkating subreddit and suddenly disappeared (Luckily, I saved the video and took screenshots).

I'm happy I saved the video from whoever this user was before both the post and the user were delete by the biased mods, because they exposed the hypocritical mean girls of r/figureskating subreddit.

Take a look at the screenshots I took above from the users in this subreddit calling out the hypocrisy and bias.

It seems like there’s a double standard when it comes to criticizing non-Russian adult figure skaters for the same issues that were ripped apart when it came to Russian kids and teens.

The same people who were up in arms about "pre-rotation" and "full blade assist" in Russian skaters’ jump techniques are now saying "it’s not a problem" and "doesn’t matter" when it comes to Kaori Sakamoto. Yet, in the video below, she’s clearly showing the so called "full blade assist" and stupid "severe pre-rotation at 3/4", according to a post from a now-deleted account. Funny how those critiques suddenly disappear, for Kaori right?

Here's the deleted video by the way XD

The post was titled "In the Name of Fair Sport: Why does Chaeyeon Kim's textbook 3Lz + 3T get less GOE than Kaori's Full blade and 3/4 Prerotation 3F + 3T?"

The description was actually nice and even praised Kaori's PCS saying it was "superior" (it's not at all. She only has speed and glide---that's it!), but sadly I didn't save the version with the full description since the mods deleted the post before I could.

When I first saw that post, I fully expected it to get downvoted into oblivion—especially in that toxic sub full of Kaori fangirls. But guess what? The post started gaining massive upvotes! Keep in mind, downvoting cancels out upvotes, so even though a bunch of people tried to bury it, even more people were hitting that upvote button, and it soared to over 40+ upvotes, beating out the haters. People might not be saying much, but that silence is screaming.

Now, let’s get real—is "full blade assist" even a thing? Nah, it’s just a petty nitpick. But a ton of fans turned it into a huge issue, attacking innocent skaters left and right. Reddit was full of posts bashing skaters (mainly Russian) over this so-called "technique issue." But suddenly, when it’s Kaori Sakamoto with an even lower pick than Anna Shcherbakova, the whole thing magically doesn’t matter anymore. Anna got dragged to the ends of the earth by the same fans who are now giving Kaori a free pass for her own low pick and severe pre-rotation.

Oh, and let’s not forget—any comments calling out this hypocrisy? Mysteriously deleted by the mods, like they’re trying to sweep the whole mess under the rug.

In the end, the mods couldn’t stop that post from blowing up, no matter how hard they tried to downvote it. Their last-ditch effort? Deleting the whole thing—post, video, and all. And the poor account that posted it? Probably banned for life. Classic move by hypocrytes!

Here are the mods in question:

One of the mods, u/sK8tergater, was seriously the most offended out of everyone in that whole thread, even going toe-to-toe with other skaters who were questioning their aggressive comments. So, is it really a shocker that replies to this exact user mysteriously vanished? Hmm, I wonder who could've done that… probably the mod themselves! What a power trip!

That subreddit was already a mess, but now the mods have taken it to a whole new level by silencing everyone with a mind of their own and critical thinking when it comes to current favoritism given to the likes of Kaori, Isabeau, Loena, etc. I was wondering where all the critical posts went and why it’s been so quiet over there with the issues and favoritism bias I'm seeing in GP events for top skaters. Turns out, the mods are straight-up deleting any criticism that calls out their favorite skaters so they can keep pretending everything’s all sunshine and rainbows. It’s like they’re trying to sweep all the drama under the rug and hope no one notices.

But, alas, after that deleted post the truth reveals itself.

Also here's a bonus round for u/sk8tergater where they say 4 years ago that for the last 20 years pre-rotation was an issue talked about in her rink and then 5 days ago says pre-rotation was never an issue until the last few years because of fans. Doesn't add up now does it? Seems they are "full of shit"

Reddit's r/figureskating is filled with idiots recruiting more idiots to spread bullshit online.

Translation: Kaori SAKAMOTO, Junior Worlds

Last month, Kaori SAKAMOTO had to withdraw from AWG (Feb 22) because of the flu. “I just kept crying. I was wondering, ‘why am I so unlucky?’” She was at a hotel in Sapporo, watching the stage she was supposed to be at on TV. “I was frustrated because I was supposed to be there.” She stayed away from the ice and kept studying. Maybe thanks to that, she got a surprisingly good grade on her literature exam at her high school. A month after tears of frustration, she was crying of happiness. She finished 3rd place at Junior Worlds, in which she was 6th in 2015. In the SP (March 17), she skated clean, updating her personal best with a score of 67.78: “I threw away my shyness and gave my all.” In the FS, she didn’t lose to the fact that she was skating last and landed a 3F-3T. Her total score of 195.54 is also a personal best. “One mistake and I would’ve been off podium. I was very nervous but I thought that if I do my best, the results with come with it. I’m glad I was able to give these results.” She trains under Sonoko Nakano, who also coaches Mai MIHARA who won 4CC last month. Her first practice in Taipei wasn’t satisfying and she said “I messed up~!”. She also laughed about her having a heavy stomach after eating xiaolongbao: “Not eating it anymore!” When she was told that she beat Zagitova in PCS in the SP, she seemed very surprised: “Eh? Oh! Ehh!?” The cheerful 16 years old is going to be a senior next season. “I might not have as much experience as the skaters already in the senior field, but I want to be a candidate (for the Olympic team.)” Becoming confident with the junior world medal, she will stand out in the fight for Pyeongchang.
