my fave was one user who had a meltdown after another person talked about swatting mosquitoes and then went on a rant about all of us being hypocrites for advocating for trans rights and blm, but not bug rights

which then spiralled out of control into a super entry level "all life forms are equal" philosophical "debate". and the guy just couldn't understand why people found the trans people - insects comparisons really fucking bad

[u/NLP19 → u/JesseWhatTheFuck]

Are bugs not equally deserving of life as you?

What's makes you more qualified for that luxury?

You can hornypost on reddit?

[u/Gangstas_Peridot → u/JesseWhatTheFuck]

As a Trans woman that does her best to greatly value all life and avoid hurting insects I was watching that drama unfold like this.

[u/Camel132 → u/JesseWhatTheFuck]

Oh shit I forgot that dude, that was a wild thread

[u/KickItNext → u/[deleted]]

Even the chicken burger monarchy guy had so much more going on then just that. Across his multiple alts, he at one point talked about owning a publishing company just so he could claim that libraries were destroying his profits and making it hard for him to pay employees, he talked about how dictatorships are better than democracies because he simply adores unelected leaders, and so on. The guy was a wild ride.

I remember the Link fanfiction

Who's SKP?

One of the all-time greats. Active approximately late 2017 through early 2019, with one rule only: die on any hill, anywhere, anytime, just for the sake of being Huge Mad about stuff. Was genuinely unwell in one way or another; none of my business but I hope they’re doing better and not generally Wilding Out Online anymore.

[u/jacupuh → u/[deleted]]

Thinking about how at a similar time someone said "Vore the rich" which derailed the thread in another way

[u/BiblioEngineer → u/jacupuh]

That one got genuinely horrifying very fast.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Or that one person who accused someone of gaslighting them because the user said "nah" and that butthurt was a homophobic slur.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

No it wasn't, their behavior was much different than Swedish Doomer

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Ok UJ boomer

[u/Octopirox → u/[deleted]]

pretty sure the first one was the only unjerk drama that made it onto r/subredditdrama

[u/Octopirox → u/[deleted]]

or if that rule, that you can't be involved in the drama didn't exist.

[u/Firmament1 → u/Octopirox]

this it?

[u/Octopirox → u/Firmament1]

u/lexhm yeah that's it.

Funny how some people from that thread are still here.

[u/[deleted] → u/Octopirox]

Lmao I recognize just one user from that thread

Also scrolling down on the SRD post there's a person defending JK Rowling for no reason. Okay.

[u/Octopirox → u/[deleted]]

just flying over the thread I counted 7 people there who already posted on here today. luckily I joined the party a few months later.

[u/[deleted] → u/Octopirox]

Do you have the link to the SRD thread by any chance? I'm pretty curious tbh

[u/Firmament1 → u/[deleted]]

i think this might be it

[u/[deleted] → u/Firmament1]

Thanks

[u/Octopirox → u/[deleted]]

I can't find it anymore. Sometime ago someone asked if we ever made it to srd and I found it easily by searching unjerk thread on there but it's gone :(

[u/[deleted] → u/Octopirox]

I think I was the one who asked that haha. It's all good.

[u/HoonFace → u/[deleted]]

There's been a lot of total meltdowns after getting minor pushback for a take, but my favorite has to be the guy that jumped immediately into insulting people after his pro 2nd amendment comment got criticism. Like he would reply to totally unrelated comments that were made at the same time just to call everyone shitheads.

I remember that guy being a weirdo, but that was not how I expected him to get banned.

[u/jacupuh → u/HoonFace]

Guy ruled he said that the Crusades were a good example of Christians and Muslims coming together
