I was an r/drama regular (under a completely different, deleted account name, so don't bother trying to look it up) years ago, back when they had a cwcki forums-esque attitude. They were focused mostly on how much they could riff off the incredibly exceptional bullshit that Reddit is known for. It was basically the Reddit equivalent of the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens. It was actually a super fun place.
But over time, like the rest of that cursed site, it slowly metamorphosized from a clownpilled honk zone into "oof sure are a lot of gross yucky trump supporters around here lately, what is this the_donald 2.0? yikes". That's why they started """ironically""" sperging about bussy and how gay they all are. It was this incredibly autistic attempt at chasing away the eeeevil conservatives. Well, it worked, but it also had the side effect of turning the subreddit into an ideological clone of Twitter: simultaneously boring, pathetic, and repulsive. Everyone left and now it's just another sad Reddit echo chamber brought to you by whatever Shareblue calls itself this year.
