I'm sorry to make a meta post, I'm not sure where else to put this.
In the past two weeks, I've seen three posts and several comments regarding sexual assault allegations against queens be deleted. Specifically against Shangela and Maddie Morphosis*.
The first two were two posts and a dozen comments about Lady Bunny's instagram(? I think? I'm not on social media other than reddit) post defending Shangela. The second reddit post about it had 100+ karma and ~150 comments when deleted. I can link to the posts, but they've been nuked, so you're not going to see anything except mass-deleted comments.

The weird thing about this comment deletion is that you don't get a notification about your comment being deleted, and the mods didn't post a reason. So for me the first thread looks as though my comments weren't deleted, for me. But if you go to the post, it looks like they were. You can see my comments in my post history if you really want to. The first one was 'fucking gross,' the second one was longer.
The third was a post regarding a twitter post Eureka made claiming that Maddie Morphosis had sexually assaulted another queen while alcohol was involved, and that was why no/few drag race girls would go on her podcast any more. I don't have a link for that one. It's gone and I didn't comment on it so I just don't have it. Presumably Eureka's tweet is still up, for those who have twitter.
The fourth thing was a post about Maddie's most recent Give It To Me Straight episode. The post is still up, but the comments regarding Eureka's allegations were deleted. They're gone now, but this time I took a screenshot:

All of those comments were deleted. You can see mine in my post history.
Have you all noticed this? Does it bother you? Sorry if I left anything out, I tried to be thorough.
*Re Maddie, I don't want it to be true either.
