The Disgraceful History of /r/drama, Part I
1 2019-11-18 by snallygaster
The 10th anniversary of the subreddit is quickly approaching, and boy has it been through a lot! Given the massive influx of [shit community]fugees over the past few months, it has become apparent that it is important to keep the subreddit's history recorded, so when everybody involved dies or gets bored and leaves that it will still be here for all to see.
Here is the first part of the who knows-part history of /r/drama up until now.
CHAPTER ONE - GENESIS
On November 21, 2009, [deleted] lifted /r/drama from the primordial waters. Content with his creation, [deleted] decided that he didn't have to do any further with it. For a time the sub remained as inactive has it had been the day it was created, save for an occasional visit from a spambot. Nobody mourned when [deleted] deleted his account and left the sub without a moderator.
It took two years for somebody to discover the abandoned subreddit. That somebody was /u/\AnnArchist, who was looking to extend his sphere of reddit influence at the time. As a single word that invokes good content, /r/drama had a lot of inherent potential, and AnnArchist decided to take advantage of it.
It's around this era that the first snapshots of /r/drama appear. Through 2011 and 2012, /r/drama experienced small bursts of activity, primarily from the sub's new top mod. Much like today, most of these posts didn't actually contain any drama, but unlike contemporary humorless agendaposts, they were focused on mod abuse and censorship.
While /r/drama's activity meandered like a lazy river, Reddit's metasphere was booming. It had initially consisted of a small group of people getting irritated by the rest of the site's low-effort jokes and obsession with weed and atheism but quickly swelled in numbers as more and more people felt the need to complain about Reddit, on Reddit. /r/subredditdrama became established as a major hub for these whiners, and in those days, it had a watchdog-like quality with a heavy focus on powerusers, mods, and, of course, /r/shitredditsays.
It didn't take long for /r/subredditdrama to have its own moderation fiasco. For a short period of time, /u/\TwasIWhoShotJR, also known as /u/\Discord_Dancing and a billion other things, was a SRDine-in-charge. He was purged in an event that you can read about here because it would take way too much effort to summarize. In response to the event that took down /u/\twasIwhoshotJR, a group of disgruntled former SRDines set out to create a 'power-user free' alternative called /r/ThePopcornStand. This effort quickly turned into a place to dump angry complaints about /r/subredditdrama and the rest of metareddit; ]/u/\twasIwhoshotJR was unwilling to settle for this piss-poor excuse for a drama repository and asked /u/\AnnArchist to let him mod /r/drama in exchange for making the place active.
CHAPTER TWO - A FRESH START
Ann acquiesced, and /u/\TwasIWhoShotJR brought with him /r/drama's first glimpse at sustained activity - along with mods from what was at the time the chat medium of choice for hopeless metareddit addicts - IRC. Here is the first snapshot from that era; at this point in time /r/drama's content strongly resembled that of /r/subredditdrama, with a smattering of links from different websites. Like SRD, it wasn't immune to metadrama; the early days contained brigades and a handful of unhinged powerusers who took reddit more seriously than a well-adjusted person can possibly conceive of.
By late 2013, /r/drama had matured into an entity unto itself and was no longer defined by its relationship to /r/subredditdrama. It featured interesting links to off-site content in addition to the expected metadrama and modmail leaks. It was during this period that the battle between /r/shitredditsays and everyone who hates them exploded into a full-on ideological battle for subreddits and around the time that /r/tumblrinaction jump-started reddit's 'anti-SJW' movement by dragging the hangout for teen girls and porn addicts into public consciousness. Although /r/drama contained a healthy dose of 'anti-SJW' outrage bait, it was fairly resistant to attempts to turn it into another platform for bitching about SJWs and SRS. This is the final snapshot from that era.
CHAPTER THREE - DID SOMEBODY SAY GAMERGATE?
On August 21st, everything changed. A tell-all was released by Eron Gjoni about his abusive, formerly literally who hobbyist game developer ex. The alleged transgressions of Zoe Quinn split the internet in half, and any place that could conceivably allow for culture wars content quickly fell to a 'side'. /r/drama was no exception.
The subreddit created for 'gamergaters', /r/KotakuinAction, was immediately abuzz with activity from zealous Redditors who, for some reason, were compelled to activist(?) action by a stranger's relationship drama. /r/KotakuinAction gave these users a base of operations on which to organize and from which to gather content that they could use to sow pro-GamerGate sentiment on other subreddits. A group of equally zealous no-lifers sprung up in response to GamerGate, made its reddit home on /r/GamerGhazi, and continuously belched fuel into the flames of the burgeoning culture war.
/r/drama was a community known to be friendly to 'anti-SJW' content, and a number of its posters were swept up in the energy of GamerGate. It didn't stand a chance against the raw passion of the 'movement', and in short time, /r/drama was transformed into a /r/KotakuinAction colony. For months and months, /r/drama was under a constant barrage of GamerGate and SJW-related posts (along with a shot of /r/fatpeoplehate-related material). Two groups of /r/drama users emerged- those who had a vested and exclusive interest in culture war content, and those who simply wanted to watch people fling shit at each other. These two groups often clashed to usually boring effect.
CHAPTER FOUR - A SCHOOL OF SRDINES
As previously mentioned, /r/drama was not unique in falling prey to the culture wars; it was a phenomenon that had ruined many a subreddit. Even prior to GamerGate, 'SJW' and 'anti-SJW' subreddits were busy turning apolitical communities into vassal states, intentionally or otherwise. /r/subredditdrama, once the de-facto place to criticize /r/shitredditsays, had been transforming into a progressive subreddit prior to GamerGate and completed the transformation following the event. The increasingly sanctimonious eggshell-dropping nature of the subreddit's core active users left a large proportion of the userbase feeling alienated. No longer willing to have the same argument about whether the term 'male tears' is sexist five times a day, yet still desperate for a drama fix, many of these more moderate users turned to /r/drama.
The influx of SRDines (and others) started prior to and during GamerGate, but the political refugees increased in volume and influence around mid-2015. This is also around the time when the subreddit began to develop a community and culture of its own. For the most part, the regulars of the prior years were wrapped up in the Reddit 'metasphere'; they knew each other through IRC, modmail groups, and private subs; the spats that occurred between them were almost entirely the result of happenings that had occurred off of /r/drama. The subreddit was nothing more than a place to share or escalate them without getting banned. The influx of users who were there simply for drama gave the subreddit a chance to develop into a unique collection of online misfits.

Great effort content post, as expected. What’s interesting about this place is that it seems to retain a small contingent of tards from each respective movement that never leave and bring their unique dysfunctional views to the sub.
I’m part of the Romulan tard wave I think, even if I was a bit before them.
4 Tzar-Romulus 2019-11-18
I have to admit out of our trio you're the least retarded. But you're still a Gofag. 🤭

That’s true.
And Kaiser-cels BTFO’d.
3 IHeartCommyMommy 2019-11-18
Idk what wave I'm in, got here around the time that pinging was on its way out. I remember when it got brought back for a bit it was the greatest experience of my life (hahaha jk lmao have sex) and then it got taken away again.
I wish I got told about this place on r/neoconNWO earlier 😔😔😔
3 RIPGeorgeHarrison 2019-11-18
What era was that? I myself figure that I am 2016-17 SRD refugee.

Not sure entirely. I’ve been here less than a year technically. 😔
1 trexmundi 2019-11-18
I am technically pre-gamergate, but I didn't make an account until this year because I wasn't disgusted enough with myself to interact with you people.

13 YHofSuburbia 2019-11-18
Everyone post which refugee wave you were part of.
I came here once SRD irreversibly turned into an agendaposting echochamber so I think it was around the time of the first SRDine wave (late 2015-ish).
9 duckraul2 2019-11-18
I honestly at this point can't remember how I got here, and since I can't remember the path i took, I can't find the way back out.
1 Chapose 2019-11-18
This is how r/drama keeps its users, cause who would willingly stay here if they could go back to the simple days of posting cool maymays to r/dankmemes and cutesy pictures of retarded children/animals to r/aww to harvest the updoots?
1 devotedrat17 2019-11-18
i wish all the shitposting subreddits would just go back to normal 😭😭
1 TouchFIuffyTaiI 2019-11-18
No, normal is the problem here. They have to go back to austist.
1 seenten 2019-11-18
It's actually slightly concerning to me that I don't remember what bullshit introduced me to this hellhole or why I've stayed

One moment, I am jerking off in the comfort of my neighbors unlocked apartment, and then I suddenly am on my phone, browsing /r/drama, getting my prostate milked by a jannie.
6 serialflamingo 2019-11-18
I ended up here because lilpoundcake (rip) posted star wars spoilers to a modmail i was in so same time as you
That was around the time Jewdank posted that south park thing and snally made a post apologising to her for being mean or something

I actually made a small effortpost summarising that snally and jewdank drama 🥫(This is the closest thing i could find to a can of monster)
1 serialflamingo 2019-11-18
Do you have a link?
1 slugulon 2019-11-18
I heavily editorialised it but JD nuked her account so I have no fucking clue what her comments actually said now. Maybe removeddit will work
6 CrosbyStillzandSwag 2019-11-18
idk if this wave will be discussed in Part Two, but /r/4chan started to go to shit around 2017, and that was the wave I rode. I think BasicallyaDoctor and Lawlz did this as well iirc
1 BasicallyADoctor 2019-11-18
®4©han was very fun for a while but it got boring. Drama is honestly starting to go the same way sadly
1 VanillaReign 2019-11-18
What the fuck even is the point of /r/4chan? 4chan doesn't have a /reddit/ board, and for good reason.
1 Shitposting_Skeleton 2019-11-18
It's called /pol/
6 804-929-4988 2019-11-18
I found drama via a snally post back when the qucks started to pick up steam. I was fascinated with them and was looking for a sub that facilitated fucking with them that wasn't tmor.
Drama actually radicalized me from a left of Bernie apathetic drug user to a radically centrist apathetic drug user. Thanks
5 rocinantebabieca 2019-11-18
I am new enough that I would rather not say, but I came in about a year ago from a 4chan /int/ post about which subreddits people posted on.

Around 2013 after I got sick of SRD/the original r/circlebroke. I never really posted though, just lurked.
1 DuckSosu 2019-11-18
Pretty similar to my story. I was way too involved in metareddit back in the day. /r/AntiSRS, /r/SubredditDrama, /r/circlebroke, etc. It's embarrassing to think about now.
Nearly from the beginning of the sub being active I browsed it, but as I got more and more sick of SRD and SRDD I ended up spending most of my time here. I still don't post that much though.
1 ComedicSans 2019-11-18
I think I ended up frequenting this place around the time you did, for much the same reasons.

3 Redactor0 2019-11-18
I started using reddit around that time, found SRD pretty quickly, and found a post about a very unique individual named Darqwolff that linked to here. It was immediately obvious to me that I'd rather be here than in a place where I'd have to guess what "grandstanding" and bullshit like that means.
1 Infidel6 2019-11-18
No need to guess. "Grandstanding" is basically what their entire userbase is doing 100% of the time.
1 ComedicSans 2019-11-18
That's "soapboxing" tho.
3 GOD_HATES_DORKS 2019-11-18
On my old account I left SRD for being too full of lefty anti-GG style agendaposting in 2015. I also fucked off from KiA when it joined the Daddy Defense ForceTM in 2016
I must preserve my radical centrist autism.
1 THOT-AUDITOR 2019-11-18
The sign that it was time to leave KIA for me was when the dominant focus became retarded college students instead of laughing at clickbaiters. That was around mid 2015 I think?
1 ComedicSans 2019-11-18
There was some mod drama there and after that it was full anti-SJW/fatties, all the time.
2 IHeartCommyMommy 2019-11-18
Randomly got brought here from NeoconNWO, not sure how or why exactly.
2 drake_irl 2019-11-18
The gamergate woke drama embargo on srd brought me here
2 slugulon 2019-11-18
I actually got here by hitting the random subreddit button and coming across subredditcancer. And they were linking to this place because this was at the tail end of the bipolarbear drama (mid 2015). So I came in as someone completely new to metareddit rather than a fugee.
Ah those were the days sip back before cirque was French and Oxus was still around
2 JeanPeuplu 2019-11-18
Same, 2015 SRD refugee. I remember seeing /r/drama linked in the comments of a thread there, and I checked it out because SRD was becoming hot garbage.
1 VanillaReign 2019-11-18
I joined a few months prior to /r/drama being Thanos'd, don't remember why, and now I'm on my third alt. I imagine that's par for the course.

1 POST_BUSSY 2019-11-18
I vaguely remember first coming here due to gamergate (but I'm not sure if it was KIA or /v/ that linked to here).
I used to spend most of my time on SRD actually, and usually only came over here when Jewdank posts would get linked to SRD. Those days were a haze such that I only remember two Jewdank moments, one where she argued about having a business degree or something, and another where she argued with another e-thot (I think it was thediggitydank). It's really difficult to relive those moments because most of her posts are gone and can't be found through redditsearch.io etc.
I finally started coming here regularly just before the 2016 US elections.
1 alphetaboss 2019-11-18
I cam here through the original gamergate write up getting linked to KiA. I just remember thinking that oh, there's people laughing at the ridiculousness instead of getting outraged. I'd like to see what else they laugh at. Then I discovered that pinging was fun. It was over for me at that point.
1 forseti911 2019-11-18
First SRdfugee wave too. Was around during the time of prime Assyposting and Velvet Llama revving up the userbase.
1 alphetaboss 2019-11-18
Are you the original forseti? What was the sub that you single handedly ruined by being a "spy"? Was it anarchism?

I consider Gamergate a net positive to the world because it brought us the Peter Coffin doll wife saga.

I moved here after I got bored with KiA. Snally posts also helped keeping me here.
1 TouchFIuffyTaiI 2019-11-18
I'm a former KiAcel that got tired of the jannies being the exact faggots that KiA formed because of. The mods kept mentioning this sub in the brigading stickies, so I decided to check it out. I thought for the longest time that /r/drama was the circlebroke to SRD's circlebroke2, i.e, less unbearably woke than SRD, but still so. Instead, I found a sub that had the shitposting spirit I'd missed for years.
1 PUBLIQclopAccountant 2019-11-18
I don't really remember. I think I was here before Gamergate, left because GG is fucking stupid, and came back after getting bored of SRD agendaposts and getting b& from there.

According to reddit search my first comment here was 6 years ago. I think I had added drama to my regular rotation of subs a couple of months before gamergate and then started lurking here more heavily as I moved away from reading SRD.

I've found the best way to deal with BF is to dab on that fat cracker once in a while and leave him writing thesis long replies that no one will read.

A shame its name will never be known.
I hope there will be a chapter dedicated to the origin story of MaesterLawlz in part 2.
8 snallygaster 2019-11-18
I'll have to remember to include that.
Lawlz somehow ended up on the sub and pitifully begged to be a mod for ages. He was added and removed because every time he was modded he'd immediately let everyone know it in some manner. I don't remember how he eventually wore everyone down enough to keep his spot and spam his hot takes.
Back then he was posting outside of his own threads iirc, which is no longer the case
7 high_side 2019-11-18
Wow, what a great origin story. I hope there's an extensive sticky about it.

Jewdank is definitely part of the next chapter

I don't think so. The creator is shown as Deleted in the sidebar (old.reddit). That account looks like it was shadowbanned. If it was the creator it should show as [Deleted] on that post you linked.
1 zsfh 2019-11-18
Looks like the first poster pushshift has records on, not necessarily the creator.

No mention of laurelai 2/10. Smh.
1 THOT-AUDITOR 2019-11-18
Any reddit drama history that doesn't include the meltdown of 2012-2013 /r/LGBT is incomplete.
rmuser is now some twitter e-thot and Laurelai's on a commune in rural Vermont.
3 Mayos_side 2019-11-18
I'm glad you're doing well, snally.
3 Redactor0 2019-11-18
I notice that the essential parts of the sidebar were already written at the start of the JR era. I think they're an important reminder of the ideals we have strived for as a people throughout our history, even if we so often fall short and commit sins like agendaposting.
Great effortpost and one that I'm especially appreciative of because I know nothing of the first several years.
2 Reddit_Can_Scare_Me 2019-11-18
r/drama was deist the whole time? Considering the OG deists also liked calling people retarded that fits pretty well, actually.
2 betterdeadthenfed 2019-11-18
the 2011 snapshot looks surprisingly similar to today.
2 ToasterToasts 2019-11-18
Since 2015 I’ve been so disconnected from all the SRD/SRS/KIA/etc wars that I actually can’t remember which one is good and which one is bad anymore, also it seems to me like all of these subreddits have entirely changed hands and users across the board, like everything was reset.

For the most part a decent attempt at objectivity and a reasonable attempt to collate a tumultuous history. Just don't forget this place only gained significant attention when SRD went full SRS.
I realize you're probably baiting to milk the drama, but some pedantic objections...
Is "progressive" really the appropriate word for SRD after titsjerk and stops took charge? "Atavisic" might be a better word.
Then there's "transforming"? It was a blatant top down move to get rid of everyone they felt might burst their fragile little ideological bubble.
I know you share their hotdog water but try not to let that influence this "history lesson".

For the majority of it. I don't remember the days of /r/drama during [deleted], only once JR got booted from the SRD modtem and that was during the days when kamen was actually posting positively-received threads in SRD (and well before his TiTs inspired mental breakdown).
