Apparently the removal of dramatic subs was a good thing for SRD. Still a reminder of how spicy drama used too be on the internet before everything mildly offensive got removed.

The whole internet changed a ton the last four years. There used to be very little rules about harassment. Now you get your Twitter account banned in the blink of an eye.

This disproportionately affects the black community.
I was looking for all the black wojaks and and an amazing amount of the original artists have been suspended from twitter. You're only allowed to have "civil disagreements" like some kind of posh lily white colonizer in a top hat. Twitter also has ZERO respect for the nuances of AAVE, and as a result, brother words are getting banned as for being "g*mer" words.

There are old AskReddit posts about "what will be the downfall of reddit". A common answer is "too many f-slurs". These zoomers don't know how wild it used to be.

It was a huge 180° cultural shift in the Internet. Up until that point, anything remotely pro-feminism on reddit was laughed at and downvoted into obscurity. All that weird gendershit and lefty sneeding? No chance. Heck, back then Pepe was a mainstay of black people twitter.

R-slur, that’s exactly what punching down is, and I have no idea where you found a short bus-load of people to updoot this developmentally disabled opinion.
It’s just you have to acknowledge that punching down is a good thing.

It makes a worthy distinction between bullying those even more helpless than you and giving the advantaged a hard time. The only problem is they think bullying is bad.

Too true. SRDines don't want to admit but they used to share a lot of users with drama. Back when they actually posted good internet drama.

Because srd was for reddit shit, drama was for other forums or Twitter or Facebook or whatever.
Drama only became popular when srd started to get gay. It's not a coincidence
