First, let me tell you their motive:
Their motive was to psyop as a religious Karen on Facebook. Influenced by the legendary manlet known as @Landlord_Messiah, they formerly used to troll with him on twitter with the usernames ellie3kellie and figabig/abigafiga. With the untapped potential to troll Facebook r-slurs, they have found it very fun and entertaining.
Preamble:
First off, this isn't the first time they decided to troll unsuspecting facebook s. By posting in a Moms support group by larping as a middle-aged lady, they were able to bait r-slurs by MAGA posting. Examples include calling baby formula a sin (GhostArchive Link), frogs in ice cream (GhostArchive link), debate about jesus being black (GhostArchive link) and puberty blockers for my daughter (GhostArchive Link). Check out their Facebook profile for even more hilarity.

Now here's the drama:
It started with a simple meme. Over 11k cooments of pure seethe just by posting a meme with a mermaid and a confederate flag (GhostArchive Link). And they were seething hard :
Lots of in the above image.
Snappy Quote?:
Not even someone posting a link to the rdrama thread ruined it and it was eventually [removed]:

...your heritage as a fricking fish person?
Do not make fun of fish people. Mermaids are okay. Sugarians are okay. Whatever the frick this post is isn't okay.
Don't ever mock again according to these people.

They're such crybabies over a Disney movie for little girls holy shit.
If Americans cared about one another half as much as they do about Disney's intellectual property this really would be the greatest country on earth.

Ariel was a slave owner?! :o

Fun fact about Atlantis, it was a myth specifically told to prop up white supremacy.
Atlantis is white supremacy sweetie. Some are questioning it.

This has strong "this is what they took away from you white man" vibes but unironnicly

Brought to you by the same people who say the flag is about Southern heritage and not race 🙄

There is a serious propaganda movement online radicalizing disaffected white people, i see it on reddit everyday. It is concentrated and intentional
Remember rdrama is a criminal conspiracy according to Bardfinn.

I love this meme. It's hilarious.

Those who refuse to recognize and make peace with their history are DOOMED to repeat it. The Civil War happened. The confederacy happened. The Klu Klux Democrats happened. Tearing all the statues of General Ribert E Lee down and banning the Stars and Bars and canceling people because their great great great grandparents maybe owned slaves is only going to ensure that those awful things happen again, so.ehow, in the future to your children.

I mean I don’t really give a shit , I think people should be able to express their thoughts freely even though I may not agree with them

I’m disappointed in humanity, don’t engage in this controversy, watch Oldboy (2003) instead, Oldboy (2003) is something actually worth your time, this whole situation is worth shit.

Not to take anything away from Bussylover, recycling trash to generate seethe is very green and responsible
