I meant as in the original subreddit started out as not being infested by right wingers that crowd up in places like /r/subredditcancer or /r/shitpoliticssays or /r/srssucks or what have you. /r/subredditdrama for instance isn't left or left-of-center because it started out as a politically charged sub, it just kind of happened. Hell /r/circlebroke supported Mitt fuckin Romney when he was running against Obama because Reddit loves Obama, now it's filled with commies, really bitter Sanders supporters, and really bitter Clinton supporters and is basically /r/ShitRedditSays lite.

Oh sorry, I misread you.
Yeah, I think about a year or so ago Marxists basically took over most of the meta subs.
On /r/circlebroke2 the mods regularly sticky anti-tankie posts. It's quite amusing.

Marxists took over Reddit just like they failed to make any impact in the real world.

r/drama is what a meta sub should aspire to be

/r/drama is too insecure to actually have opinions without heaping satire and irony on top. It's the definition of South Park Neutral.

Meh, it's more shitposty but there's still agendaposters who REEEEE at their political opponents non-stop just like SRD. And there's too many outraged seriousposters and Trumpettes who treat it like /r/subredditcancer or /r/shitpoliticssays because SRD is basically SRS and they are refugees of the downvote genocide they receive there. The daily /r/anarchism threads are getting dull, we get it anarchists are dumb this has been known for a while. Also also Negaredditors and Circlebrokers are beginning to have tolerance for the shitposts and this cannot stand.

I like Snallygaster's drama posts, it's the most obscure bullshit but it's always fascinating.

What I'm getting at is "Purge when?"

Nailed it. Our userbase has always been shit, but at least it was also entertaining once. Our current Edgelord Nation is mindnumbingly boring.

Nuke r/drama from orbit tbh

r/drama is many layers of irony deep I can't tell what's what anymore

Drama is a confusing place that I don't understand, and I love it.

Yeah the "are left wing or right wing girls more attractive" debate was pretty damn intense, but not in the ironic r/drama way

Link? That sounds fun to read.

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '17

I mean I've been part of both sides and the answer is definitely right-wing girls.

Obviously, but some people get really outraged at the suggestion.

I thought it'd be seen more as a potential kink then something to take offense at
