Collection of copypastas of people misunderstanding or pretending to misunderstand rdrama?

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 :marseywingcuck: 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

or

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. :marseymaid:

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.

It's basically /r/subredditdrama's edgy younger brother, with almost zero moderation and an actively hostile attitude. If drama doesn't come to them, they're aren't above making some themselves. They're unabashedly terrible, and love to harass the people featured there with username call-outs and constant mockery. If someone is foolish enough to get into an argument with them twice, they'll make them an 'honorary' mod. Yeah, drama is so fricking weird. It seems that its community is a loose coalition of malicious trolls who say stuff that goes over poorly in a certain community in that community and then post a link in drama to their comment or post elsewhere. Are they inviting others to "come watch this drama I'm creating" or linking as a low-key trigger for others to come brigade the thread? Or any of a dozen other possible norms... It's a double-reflection wrapped in 26-dimensional irony. The post titles even get weird, ambiguously mocking some group of people and simultaneously mocking people who'd mock that group in those terms. Can't even tell for sure what's real, what's mocking the real, and what's mocking the mockery of the real. I mean that sub is just pretending to be 4chan circa like 2008 and forgetting that that mentality stopped because only tweens think being bitchy and edgy is actually clever in any way. Things that are mean can be funny-but being a nasty snatch is not inherently funny and also just frick off, mate. Drama is a significantly better sub when they're bitching about something inconsequential rather than when they're arguing that a woman has no value or w/e for being 'ugly' and then being alll OH IT DOESN'T MATTER IT'S JUST A JOKE GUIIIZZZ. drama Is an absolute lesson of what happens when you have too much time and just barely enough intelligence on your hands without any ambition.


ngl this is one of my faves
