Indian father math is making sure their daughter is disgustingly over-educated, buying her complex literature about global issues and female liberation, making her read classics, and then getting mad when she turns out to be a raging feminist who argues with elders over misogyny

I detest old simps so much its unreal. At least young ones can partly be explained as result of their environment.

No like I keep my mouth shut and call you whores r-slurred in my mind when you're yapping offline. Why would you engage in any political argument IRL?

If a sister says it its true Lynch that geriatric.

Lol. Lmao. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person, phull sapport to pheminists destroying their parent's marriage in their last years

No I'm the better pheminist cause my dad didn't pamper me

How is arguing with randos you see once a year liberating lmao?

Gulaged unless you're top 0.5% ofc.

Oh looks there's a phag just like her father in there. Hope your sherni daughter gets killed by her muzzie bf bro

Isn't there someone you forgot to ask

BTW this is what the femoid looks like

Nominations will stay up until January 12th, upon which the finalists for each category will be decided.

______________________________________________________

Happy New Year, strags and hags! Against all odds, we've survived another year, despite an absolutely shameful showing from our jannies this past year! You might be wondering, "why isn't @Marco making this post?" Well, when I DM'd @Aevann asking the same, he told me Marco was AWOL and to "make the darn post urself." (This includes the badges.) So I am!

2024 was a truly insane year for IRL drama, so it makes sense things on-site would be tame in comparison. In fact, it would be an insult to the utter mayhem of 2024 to pretend anything we did compares, so our on-site awards will be a little different than usual. Also I was told to not just directly rip off @Marco's thing.

Now, the structure will be as usual, but for those who are not familiar: this thread will stay up for a week. Beneath this thread proper, there will be sticked comments for each category of nomination. Reply to those comments with your nominations. In one week, on the 12th, nominations will close, and the top three most upmarseyed replies, plus a jannie's pick and a host's (my) pick, will move on to the finalist voting thread. If you don't nominate your favorite things, NO ONE ELSE WILL, so nominate them!

Without further ado, the categories!

Best Real-Life Dramatic Happening

In Memsorial

Soren was a beloved user, famed for being the best meta-troll to ever exist. No one has ever lived up to the example he set for proving dramneurodivergents are just as troll-able as the Redditors we hate. Soren stopped posting on the site to focus on his studies at the Georgetown University Law Center, and we wish him the best of luck. In Soren's memory, and to make up for the fact that there's no vote for the best off-site bait, we'll be having a vote for the best meta-troll of 2024. Which user was best at baiting other dramneurodivergents? Who trolled the most fellow trolls?

Eviction Notice

This one is new, and a little special. Our dear friend @BILLYBIGBOLLOCKS has long been complaining about the existence of House Edgy and saying that it should be removed. Aevann agrees that there should only be four. This award is for an entire rDrama House- whichever one showed the LEAST House spirit, the LEAST House activity, and the LEAST reason to exist. Whichever House wins this award will be removed from both rDrama and WatchPeopleDie, and all of its former members will receive this badge.

Ugliest Marseymon

Did you know that our Pokemon event is still on-going? Neither did I, because our jannies can't be bothered to keep site spirit events alive! See: the fact I'm doing this. Anyway, a lot of people made some really, really ugly excuses of emojis in order to get the badges from that event. Let's find and shame the ugliest of them all! All emojis tagged "pkmn" are eligible, whether they be a Marsey, Platy, Wolf, Carp, Capy, Donkey Kong, Taylor, or anything else, really. So long as the creator got one of the Marseydex badges from it.

The badge will be made from said emoji once it's voted on.

Last and least, which of our useless, lazy moderators do you think is the worst among the bunch? Who do you think is the biggest detriment to the site and its community?

"I won't answer the most obvious 101 questions about my fringe ideas" is such a perfect summation of US leftists

except it's not

I can't believe college academia is still taking this shit seriously. I'm having to take a 100 level Geography class where an entire week was spent on prison abolition. In a Geography class.

admitting you dont take racialized ans black women seriously on the same account you use to simp for kamala harris is crazy work

it's amazing how all you need to dismiss something is a bullshit four panel caricature with no attribution d

It's not a caricature, it was drawn by this person

it's weird how you assumed I was talking about the art

You called it a 4 panel caricature. It's not a caricature because the artist isn't exaggerating anything. You were talking about the arte when you mentioned "4 panel caricature"

it's always very funny when people tell me what I meant by what I said. if you don't have anything other than intentionally misunderstanding me, be on your way

"can't believe people ever took this seriously" says guy who never actually listened to what people had to say about it in the first place

I was at many, many, many BLM protests

The best one was where instead of prison your family member's murderer takes their place in your family as penance. Your brain has to be mush to think that's a good idea.

still can't believe people take the criminal prosecution system that capitulates to dripping charges against the new god king seriously

i think it's good to lock up murderers

A 2 month old was murdered by police but yeah glad we stopped caring

I'm glad we have prisons to put those murdering cops in

this, quite notably in fact, never happens. which is kinda a central tenet of prison abolition, yet another thing that scares you because you don't understand it. frickin dork

If there is a silver lining to be found in all of this is that the Bernie/Warrenworld left is dead and buried. Nobody will ever take student loan forgiveness or withdrawing from long term wars or progressive stimulus or antitrust seriously again and good riddance.

all of those things are good and will survive

i prefer not to give government handouts to kids earning 3x the median salary just cause they're angry they can't afford a yacht

In 2019, NYTimes did a fawning, unintentionally hilarious profile of a prison abolitionist who responded to such questions - from children - by citing Spain, a country that very much has prisons - the kids walk away unimpressed - she later takes unearned credit for "lifting" them

They put George Floyd in a golden casket while everyone else had to watch their grandma get buried on zoom. Obama was there and everything. Kamala was bailing out random murderers. Genuinely don't know why you were surprised.

Progressives believe all sorts of stupid stuff. Many of them still believe that a man can become a woman.

We should have lighter sentences for all crimes across the board.

This reads very plainly as a right wing satire. Stunning to think it was made in earnest

My favorite part of her book is where she said she was opposed to even putting murderous white supremacists in prison.

it's not a dream, it's a better world. guess you are satisfied with how things are; and with a cushy job and platform why wouldn't you be?.........

A 20-year-old named Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, firing eight shots and injuring three people. Doug Hagmann, a private investigator, believes there may have been a criminal network involved with Crooks during the assassination attempt.

Rep. Clay Higgins claimed Crooks acted alone, attributing possible motives to prescription drugs rather than conspiracy.

Friends described Crooks as a brilliant student, challenging the narrative of him as a troubled loner

Btw other sources says the FBI is holding THAT. information as well, after their devices and auch were seized. This isn't allegedly, he didnt act alone..

TOYOJIRO, a Jiro-style ramen restaurant in Kyoto ranked second on the city's ramen database, has come under scrutiny for placing a bounty on customers' heads simply because they left low-rated reviews. Sounds shocking, right? Let's take a closer look at the events that led to such an extreme response.

It all began when two individuals dined at TOYOJIRO's Kyoto-based outlet. After leaving, one of them posted a one-star review, criticizing the store's customer service and the quality of the food. Up to this point, everything seemed normal—negative reviews are a common occurrence. However, what happened next was anything but ordinary.

The restaurant did not take the criticism lightly. In response to the review, they posted a threatening message: "If you write a stupid review, we'll find you. We'll beat you up." They escalated further by publishing photos of the customers and offering a cash reward to anyone who could provide information on their whereabouts.

Doxing Customers

Doxing Customers (Japanese)

On their Instagram (@ toyojiro.toyota), the restaurant posted a story offering a reward of 100,000 yen per reviewer to anyone who could provide their personal details, track them down, or take action against them. The shop made it clear that this "manhunt" would continue until both individuals returned to the restaurant, had another meal, and wrote a positive review with a photo.

"The only thing he can do is come back, eat again, and write a good review with a photo. I told him I won't forgive him otherwise—not even for the safety of his family. If he does that, he'll be killed right away. This kid is so scared. He'll really do it, so he'd better just come back and eat," the store owner stated in another message.

This is just like my mob movies when they insulta' the spaghett'

TOYOJIRO justified its actions by claiming they are serious about making ramen and are only trying to protect their reputation from damaging reviews. Reportedly, the store is looking to expand into Asia and the U.S., leading them to take extreme measures to maintain a positive public image.

Netizens were quick to react, and many others who had previously visited the store shared their experiences. One user noted that the restaurant enforces strict rules, even prohibiting customers from posting the menu online. Those who attempt to do so are reportedly threatened with having their names and photos leaked on the internet.

Jiro-style ramen restaurants are already known for their aggressive and intense atmosphere. Just like their ramen—thick as udon, tough as nails—the staff at these establishments can be intimidating. However, while some Jiro ramen shops may have their own unique personalities, expecting a warm and friendly service is often unrealistic.

Japanese society as a whole is never beating the autism allegations

The comments from angry leftists were unreal, castigating him and saying he's the reason they can't have homes, he's a rich evildoer, etc.

This is what I hate about leftists - and some of you are on here I imagine. Do you really think some middle class guy should NOT secure a future for his own children just to avoid competing with YOU, a blue haired r-slurred stranger who works at Starbucks and wants "housing justice"? LOL. Unreal.

I'd be happy to toss a thousand useless faceless shitheads into the gutter if it would help my children. Survival of the fittest, b-word.
