!bookworms to discuss the 4th chapter of our book club choice Petersburg. I'm delayed and still in the middle of chapter 4 so I'll post on the following days or catch up by the next thread like I did last week.

Do you guys think Nikolai Apollonovich is like that because of inceldom?

THANKS FOR PLAYING EVERYONE

As you can see, this week we will do the usual Sat & Sun crosswords, then our special drama-themed crossword made by @ShriekingGeek , then we will do a Sunday NY Times crossword from 2010 which was uploaded this week, and then we will finally end on a cryptic crossword printed last year in The NY Times and uploaded this week, which was fortunate for us since we are going to start adding some cryptic crosswords to line up.

If you are not familiar with cryptic crosswords, I highly recommend you familiarize yourself with how they work if you want to help us solve them. Otherwise, the clues will look like gibberish. Here is a guide from The New Yorker:

You might remember this drama from the previous two posts about it:

Original post from the yoootoober themselves: https://rdrama.net/post/335788/i-have-pissed-off-1000s-of

Further sneeding: https://rdrama.net/post/336959/brave-dramasoldier-has-ended-up-causing

After 4 days, he's still generating whiny children. Technodad is the father of dead YouTuber Technoblade. He came out with the following statement:

It'll make more sense if you read (and upmarsey) the previous posts.

There's a lot of sneed on OP's tweet but it's kinda hard to parse what's being said as Minecrafter terminology has changed over the multitude of years that I haven't played the game. The guy OP's quoting has been tracking the whole situation.

NOBODY is letting our brave dramasoldier off the hook, even after he donated $100 to the charity that the dead YouTuber was fundraising for.

Further sneed about both our dramasoldier and another YouTuber defending him, TheMisterEpic.

Not only is TME being kkkanceled for defending racism on the TL, he's also being cancelled for… agreeing with a Turkey Tom video! I don't know a lot about the Wilbur Soot situation as I'm not a teenage girl, but apparently he bit his girlfriend and ppl have been melting down over it for YEARS.

He also points out in the thread how our dramafren was caught on the TERRIBLE INCEL DATING APP… duolicious. Lmfao I cannot express how much I'm laughing rn

Removed the photo just in case BB doesn't want it up, his face is censored but he does selfdox a lot so…

In the original video, he's basically just making fun of how people look… or the same reason these people identify themselves as an incel. He even acknowledges the true definition of the word at the beginning of the video. Later into the video he talks about how he hasn't really seen any "incels" (or his twisted definition of incel) on the app, mostly because incels are just people who can't have s*x and not he-man women haters.

The video itself is really unfunny and very hard to listen to as this British loser has a REALLY bad lisp. When it gets to the part that shows BB in his true glory, the YouTuber keeps soying that there's a Minecraft YouTuber on the platform. He tries to find who it is but he can't figure it out. The only comment acknowledging this is BB himself self reporting.

The very last tweet in the thread talks about how TME defends groomers. Well, I took two seconds to find the actual tweet and he doesn't appear to be defending groomers, in fact, he sounds like he's against it.

TheMisterEpic also defended sexualized content towards children. pic.twitter.com/TVlbtKns7n

Original tweet:

Hot take:

Who cares what content he makes. Sure the guys cringe, but his main channel has 55 mil views, he's been more successful on YouTube then almost everyone criticising him. Content sucks but if he didn't do it, someone else would. Don't hate the player hate the game https://t.co/kUC7yXJAD6

The whole argument is over sexual thumbnails on YouTube videos, TME puts a purposefully vague quote tweet to farm interactions. He further replies clarifying that people should be protesting for change at YouTube VS attacking a shitty guy that'll just be replaced with another shitty guy. I find this especially funny when the guy who made the incel video (who's also part of this Minecraft YouTuber gang with the dead YouTuber) also has slightly suggestive thumbnails/themes.

NOW looping back to the original point… do you know the best part about all this… that incel video was made 8 months ago. If it actually becomes a part of this drama, that technically means he's been generating seethe for 8 MONTHS. Make sure to upmarsey to support my independent research and make sure to show "support" for everyone involved

feel like that moment has well and truly passed, everyone I know has increased their meat consumption and takes collagen peptides now

Not sure how many people follow the rationalist types but you probably have heard of or read stuff from Aella, a strangely neurodivergent self-described "whorelord" who loves using big data to do things like share her orgy planning performance.

I haven't gotten that much into it but looks like the homicidal members have a disturbingly common trait. Assigned male at birth, perhaps

Somehow Republicans and Christians are involved

Although this group is based in the bay area (Vallejo mostly, I think) they're associated with murders in PA, VT (including a border patrol officer recently) and faking their deaths to avoid court.

That last pic you can see the wealthy foids with their feet bound.

I love all of you though

The value I bring to this platform is unmatched. I'm

hilarious and handsome and have level headed takes. People irl actively seek my attention and input.

Once again, rdrama is showing their bias against excellent users who bring positive change here. Please do better. I do not want to have this conversation AGAIN moving forward.

I'm 16 but I feel like I grew up to fast. I still feel like Im 8-9, my age dysphoria is bad I hate birthdays, I hate telling people my age, and I hate being around people my age or older because I feel little and even ppl who are 13 feel older than me :(. and I try my best to dress like an 8-9 year old even though I'm tall and don't look like a little kid :(, why don't people take me seriously when I say I'm trans age? I just want to be respectful and validated and taken seriously. I'm not a creep, I just have age dysphoria and I still feel like I'm mentally 8-9

Surprisingly he lived a long life after burning it

I love her my special lil gal. She has begun giving more nose-kisses daily than Socks ever has the whole time I've rehabilitated that brown piece of flabby tabby they are going to fight so stupidly over sleeping with me once Sheila's fixed. We are close to the savings mark for her spay
