Edit: I still can't find my all-time favorite one
It was something like, "It's really confusing. It seems like it's right wing, but maybe it's a parody of right wing? Or they are under too many layers of irony and don't actually know what they believe."
It was like reading a tiptoe right up to the edge of something his worldview couldn't encompass. I wish I could find it! If anyone has it, please do the sneedful.
Inspired by @A's hexbear post I thought it would be fun to collect copypastas of other people reacting with confusion (real or feigned) when confronted with the highly concentrated autism of rdrama.
So many trans flags yet full of blatant transphobia and fascists like wtf is even going on over there
Edit: what the frick there's actual blatant highly-upmarseyd anti-semetic and sinophobic shit on there. It's literally just pinkwashed 4chan

This is probably the worst thing I've seen on the internet in a while. There's a post of a comic of a trans man getting euthanized and that's the entire joke. I don't even understand half of these words they're saying because you need advanced degrees in transphobia and racism. No, I'm not linking to any of this.
Frick these people. I hate how they communicate in baby language too.
Sweaty, you need to relax a bit.
To kick things off, this one's like the free square on bingo:
Let me tell you this-- /r/Drama is one of the most malevolent, cruel, coldhearted online communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of free speech it appalls me that Reddit would allow such a vile, festering hub of bigotry and sadism to exist. You think [slur]town was bad? That subreddit, if you pick up on the dog-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about Stormfront, at least it bans "n[slur]"), will reveal itself to you as Reddit's number one hub for the web's most hardened Nazis, Klansmen, Fascists, and G*mergaters. You'll notice on the sidebar that it encourages members to be as dramatic as possible. That's intentional. They encourage arguments in the comments section. That's intentional. You know the Three Minute Hate (it's from this underrated book 1985, give it a read, it's scary how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of reactionary rage so they continue to dogpile every progressive and minority who enters the subreddit, normalizing these evil feelings. They brigade from subreddit to subreddit, having an entire cabal of mods spanning hundreds of communities, gaslamping lived experiences of the oppressed and unashamedly bolstering Reddit's homegrown white supremacy movement. They've kink-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death. I fear that /r/drama may be producing an entire army of Dylann Roofs and Elliot Rogers, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that horrible subreddit, lest you potentially fall victim to its corruptive aura.
I know I've seen a bunch of others over the years, but never a collection in one thread.

/r/drama is now completely indistinguishable from the other altright parts of this website (WARNING: Here there be effort)
So in case anyone hasn't heard because they're not a colossal dweeb; Frank Mentzer a fantasy author who also helped create some early pen and paper RPGs including D&D was implicated in essentially being the Harvey Weinstein of traditional gaming (click here for the twitter post). The details aren't super important what is important is /r/drama's reaction.
First we see several MRA talking points in the top comments:
https://old.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/77jdbe/in_the_wake_of_harvey_weinstein_scandal_a/domdg9t/?context=8
We start of right away with edgelording by saying that the guy was just being neurodivergent. Never mind that someone who was actually neurodivergent would be very unlikely to threaten to blacklist people from their industry.
https://old.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/77jdbe/in_the_wake_of_harvey_weinstein_scandal_a/domm4oy/?context=8
This one isn't even related to the linked post or the story involved in the linked post. It's only tangentially related to anything because it leads back to Weinstein. There's not too much that needs to be said here other than the fact that the opening sentence contributes to the "male sexual assault isn't recognized" mentality that many of these same posters would claim to despise (at least when they can use it as a bludgeon against women).
Three or four comments down from the top we find a real golden chain. It's got boilerplate MRA talking points, Nazi apologia and people saying that even the nazis were too "degenerate."

So that comment chain really hits like a three for three for me in the warning signs that your sub has gone too far to the right. It starts with attacking women for feeling harassed moves on to a defense of Nazi-ism and ends with saying that the Nazis didn't go far enough.
Last one because anymore and I'd be dredging the bottom of the barrel.

https://old.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/77jdbe/in_the_wake_of_harvey_weinstein_scandal_a/domsy8e/?context=8
So here yet again we have a commenter attacking women for feeling attacked by men who make them feel harassed and then (also yet again) we go right into a reference to """""ironic""""" Nazi-ism.
And that's it for me. All I have to say is I think we need to stop the flow of drama people coming into CB2 until we can figure out what the heck is going on. They're genocide supporters, they're r*pe supporters and non I assume are good people.
Edit: Had to make a few small text changes for readability.
