please listen to this song i wrote

okay so this one is pretty minor but basically what happened is there this was guy who i guess wrote a shitty song or whatever, but he kept spamming it to so many modmails. now here's the thing about reddit. on reddit you can view modmails from shadowbanned users so it didn't matter that this guy was getting shadowbanned because he'd just keep going

https://old.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/f4gkro/please_listen_to_this_song_i_wrote/

there were probably at least a few thousand modmails and dozens of posts sent out and it was pretty much to the same tune each time

at some point we stickied it on /r/Drama as a joke has a kinda joke but i can't find the post right now

edit: here's the /r/Drama thread

Who remembers r/WhatofPhedre

She got caught taking money to spam Reddit in the way way back and the site had bizarre trial by subreddit.

Must have been 14 years ago jfc

I stole this from... well... my own SRD post on the matter. I changed some things (like changing NP links to WWW links) and a couple of other minor formatting edits


Sit down here. Comfortable? Let me grab the popcorn. Okay, here we are. Let me tell you about a tale. This takes place in time where drama growing massive was not an uncommon sight. However, this... this... was different. We had never saw it coming. The Fattening was big enough, but we had thought we had reached the peak. Could the drama explode farther? Surely, there could not be something more massive than this?

But less than a month later, we found out that we were wrong, very much so. Reddit fired Victoria Taylor, leading to a firestorm that swept across all of reddit, leaving no subreddit unscathed in it's wake. This is... AMAgeddon.

It all started, when /r/IAmA, a subreddit dedicated to hosting "Ask Me Anything" sessions, had received a moderator mail saying that Victoria, who usually helps with many AMAs, was not available.

Because /r/IAmA would have large problems if it were to continue, they shut their subreddit down in order to sort their problems out. This was unprecedented, but still the calmest part of the largest drama wave ever on reddit.

In the hours following this, /r/science, /r/books, /r/music, /r/AskReddit and almost all of the 100 17 of the defaults would shut their doors, each with a similar message. Screencap of IAmA when it was private.

Many speculation happened over the nature of the firing, and some think that the Jesse Jackson AMA had something to with it, but this is unconfirmed. /u/ekjp (Ellen Pao), however has said that this now-deleted Quora post had nothing to do with it.

Tensions between the mods and the admins and the users and the admins would run high, with almost all admin posts on the issue were downmarseyd to oblivion, back, and back into oblivion again.

Edit: /u/jbranscum reminded me that I left out a very important part of this. And so, I have edited the OP to show you that these indeed were dark times, that /r/sexypizza had gone private. This is when we knew we truly had something different coming here.

/u/kn0thing makes a highly downmarseyd remark in SubredditDrama about the whole situation, which had sparked off a drama comment chain, to put it mildly. A subreddit, /r/popcorntastesgood, has been formed around it.

All was buttery, until...

/u/Dacvak, a former reddit admin, did an IAmA once the subreddit came back up made a claim saying that he was fired because of his cancer. This caused round 2 of the dramawave in SubredditDrama, and caused more buttery goodness all across the site.

The popcorn kernels would continue to pop in /r/pics, /r/videos and /r/todayilearned when they reopened, with users upmarseying everything and anything that had to do with Victoria. A reddit server was also aptly named that. Also, in this time, /u/kickme444's firing had come to light with [a post to /r/SecretSanta][

/u/kn0thing publicly responds in the Upmarseyd newsletter. I have copied-and-pasted the response here:

So. Things were… eventful this week. To put it mildly.

It started on Thursday when we let go one of our employees, Victoria Taylor, who had helped coordinate AMAs for the last couple years.

I can’t publicly comment on why we made this decision, but I can talk about the way we handled itβ€”we screwed up. Victoria worked extensively with the moderator teams in /r/IAMA, /r/books, /r/science, and more to make sure AMAs went smoothly, and when she left, we didn’t have a great process in place to handle that transition and didn’t communicate it to those mods very well.

The mods of /r/IAMA, concerned about how things would work moving forward, temporarily shut down the subreddit. Many more mods, also upset by our failure to provide proper cowtools and support, followed suit. As you may have noticed, Reddit looked pretty different from normal for a while.

There’s a much more in-depth overview of what happened in /r/outoftheloop.

We’ve received the message, we’ve talked with a lot of moderators, and we’re going to get better. We know we’ve done a pretty terrible job at communicating. We know a lot of things on the site don’t work as well as youβ€”and weβ€”would like. We know there are a lot more issues and that the community as a whole is pretty unhappy with us right now.

I know apologies and promises feel empty right now, but that’s all I can giveβ€”with the additional promise that we really do mean it. We’ve recently hired a product manager for the community team who is working on new cowtools. We’re actively working on brigading. We’re figuring out solutions to improve modmail. But it takes time to make these changes, so they won’t be here tomorrow. But they will be here.

We’re sorry. And we’re going to do better. In the meantime, there were a lot of other really cool things that happened on Reddit this week, and we’d still like to share them with you below.

Edit: I've gotten word that the admins have responsed to this! /u/yishan weighs in here in the announcement thread here.

We were the chosen ones, dramanauts. We had fought, argued, popped popcorn, and yet, we made it. We have survived. We may never know Victoria's secret, but we will have emerged victorious in the end.

So. As you know, https://rdrama.net has been the hip and happening place to be for about a month and a half now. Some Ruqquoids followed us over. Most interestingly, one of them was @ripelivanianbeats. He joined as himself, got banned, came back as grunderchin_vidunderchin.

Fun was had - https://rdrama.net/post/4527/grunderchin_vidunderchin-is-a-fat-mdefugee-b-word

All well and good. Anyway, yesterday we banned the grunderchin_vidunderchin account as a test. As seen by the "ban reason: test". Keep up, thank you.

Shortly after the ban, this thread appeared on /r/drama with a screenshot claiming that the domain had been seized by the FBI:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/oh4xet/domain_seized_lol/

Except it wasn't. That's just what we have set to appear when someone is permabanned and tries to view the site. It's whimsical and funny and deters spammers. No one else was permabanned besides @grunderchin_vidunderchin. We were expecting a funny thread on Ruqqus laughing that rdrama.net was seized by the FBI. Everyone would have laughed, bans would have been overturned, explanations would have been given. But it wasn't meant to be.

And this is where things get interesting.

Check that Reddit thread again. Look at the username - /u/ThickDickDaddyFuta. A bit red-flaggy, to be sure, but lots of /r/drama posters have ridiculous names as a joke. A quick scroll through the post history indicates that this is not a dramneurodivergent though, this is a dedicated and extremely prolific ERP account. For those fortunate enough not to know what the frick a futa or ERP is: futa is a generic term for an anime girl with a peepee. ERP is erotic roleplay.

The user in question - who is, again @ripelivanianbeats - moderates /r/filthyroleplay and frequently posts very long prompts for roleplays wherein he roleplays as a big peepee anime girl with anyone willing to play a regular girl. A sample thread title: [Futa4f] [Limitless] Pick the Futa B-WORD you Want to Abuse you. As someone on rdrama.net helpfully pointed out, "limitless" is ERP-speak for p-do shit without having to say "p-do shit" and risk a ban. Most of his prompts include a limitless qualifier. He’s clarified that β€œlimitless” is just for a scat fetish, and he is not a p-dophile. His prompts do include notations that all characters must be 18+. So there’s that ⭐️

On a less childfricky note, we have so many gems like these prompts. Keep in mind that these are written by a man who has posted literally hundreds of threads on Ruqqus about how principled a Christian he is, the evils of sexual degeneracy, and is - by his own admission - "down to 270lbs."

So, to reiterate:

Klen was another peepeegirl fetishist, and a Jew.

Ayanami was a black bisexual brony with a lisp.

Xigbar is an admitted p-dophile.

And now @ripelivanianbeats is some hilarious mixture of all of the above.

Why do all the self-identified Nazis here secretly embody everything that they hate turned up to 11?

On the 14 of may 2022, a racist (and totally not a :marseyglow:) yakubian ape jerked one last nut to a cartoon dog :marseyfurry:, before proceeding to use an ar 15 to kill as many BIBOCs in a grocery store as possible, before being arrested by 12 (presumably for not killing enough BIBOC buddies). Before he was arrested, he proceeded to reveal his 180 page manifesto and 600+ page online diary :marseywords:. After careful reading by ya boi and many other BIBOC buddies and dramanauts, we managed to find out he was not only a LITERAL chud but he WENT on rdrama affiliated subreddits and MAY have even had an ACCOUNT here:marseyspit:!

In the above link, beloved belorussian rdrama moderator @TelegramShill claims to have BANNED the LITERAL chud from rdrama, although further research has proven this to be false.

https://rdrama.net/post/67938/dramanaut-killer-i-repeat-dramanaut-killer

While his affiliation with the rdrama website may be at best, questionable, we have found solid PROOF that he interacted with the dramasphere, and even put 2 comments on a rdrama-affiliated subreddit that at the time (RIP fragilewhitecrakkkas), was owned by yours truly. While this is big, it aint nothing compared to whats next!

https://rdrama.net/post/69120/chudsey-buffalo-shooter-name-drops-a

It turns out that not only was he on one rdrama affiliated sub, but TONS of more subs like /r/loveforlandlords, /r/antihatecommunities (also owned at the time by yours truly) and /r/4chan (yes it is drama affiliated). He also joined /r/AHC's groomercord (at the time,the AHC groomercord was owned by Social Justice United, a coalition of like minded anti-hate warriors) for some time, before...

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 :marseyretard2: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. ![](/images/1663369416692063.webp) 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 :marseypopcorn::

In tr0id mommys new episode "cringe", we explore how irony is actually a tool of the dreaded right0id to subvert the internet. Including us apparently!

Breadtube reacts accordingly, one honest f0id noting that "Last year, I caught one of my students browsing Kiwifarms in class. I asked that student to step out of class with me, and I tried my best to convince her that she was spending time with an online community dedicated to bullying people"

https://old.reddit.com/r/BreadTube/comments/gh2cw7/contrapoints_cringe/fq6ccdb/

The dramoid plague is mentioned: "I made more or less the same observation after one time I ended up in /r/Drama: Those people insist that they're apolitical, that giving a shit in any way is cringe, but remove everything they mock from society and you end up with the same 1950s white cishet suburban fantasy as c0nservatives."

https://old.reddit.com/r/BreadTube/comments/gh2cw7/contrapoints_cringe/fq6a3ay

Chris chan's highest priority is mentioned: "glad she is gendering chris-chan as a f0id, i feel like people dont take her gender identity seriously because of all the things surrounding"

https://old.reddit.com/r/BreadTube/comments/gh2cw7/contrapoints_cringe/fq6a3ay

Oh and as one last reminder arr Drama, "Please stop saying you watch CP videos you're going to end up on a list.
