Post inspired by a post by resident : @chiobu_, and a thread I caught a while back.
What we'll be looking at today is the mystical 4chin board /trv/ (Travel), known for the endless stream of South Est Asia (SEA) sexpats coomposting , and that one r-slur who spams thread seething agaisnt the , who is speculated to have been cucked by a , explaining his obsession. It's all around a pretty fun board and the coomers are mostly concentrated in the dedicated threads so not much leakage.
So there's this japanese program called "Japan Exchange and Teaching" (JET), which brings college graduates from around the world to japan as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) () and Sports Education Advisors or Coordinators for International Relation (both of which only account for 10% so we'll skip over them), making them teach from kindergartens to high schools about everywhere in Japan. In 2019, there were about 6k people participating in that program, with half of them coming from the US. Smell the issue? Right, weebs .
OP starts of by thrashing the program
Is this the biggest fricking joke in the ESL community? It's amazing seeing the cope from people there thinking that they're real teachers, when all they do is prepare two resources a week, read out some dialogue, and spend the rest of their time in crappy Izakaya's and Shibuya. Is ANYONE on JET a normal human being, or are they all just crazed weebs?
We'll skip over the anons boasting about not being accepted, not being weebs but still living in japan with japanese wives. First one :
I'm on JET and fricking hate my job. It's pretty much exactly what you describe, I prepare thing two or three things a week and read out some shit. You're forgetting about being a typo-checker, though. That's an incredibly important aspect of my difficult job. Also I can't visit Shibuya because I live in the inaka.
I feel immensely guilty about being paid an (at least for japan ALTs) decent salary from the taxpayers. I spend most of my time at work outside of class studying Japanese so I can get N1 and find literally any other job than being JET. I desperately want to be literally anything other than a tax-dollar burn.
You're forgetting an important thing, though. It's also an EXCHANGE program. Japan wants JETs to learn about Japan, show it off to their friends, and bring it back to around the world for soft power. (I regularly tell myself this to cope with how little teaching work I do.)
Also the average JET is a gaijin bubble rainbow-haired leftist weeb. I can't fricking fathom what attracts these kinds of people to a conservative, collectivist country. I also can't believe it when people say they watch shit like spy family, demon slayer, etc. It's for fricking children. It's what my students watch.
I could probably rant more.
Inaka = rural japan, so frickingu nowheru basically.
Are the other JET's you've met as fricking awful as the people I met while doing it?
They're extremely insufferable.
All of the folks I met in the hotel/beyond were awful, just like you would expect. Weebs, cultural imperialists trying to change Japan's educational system, insane leftists, it was rough. Everyone's usually an arrogant narcissist with a god complex.
(Frick, I think I'm better than everyone else too but its only because I have my eyes open and want to escape this absolute lowest of the low with no upwards mobility/merits shitty job)
The absolute last straw was recently when I saw a message about a middle school ALT making a pride month english board. Hid my group chat permanently.
I hardly talk to any ALTs these days at all. If I meet one in public I'll try and be polite and such and chat but I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to spend any amount of time with any of them.
They're extremely insufferable.
This 1000% times this. If you're inaka anon think I've spoken to you on this board before
I'm a weeb just going to admit that, but I also know when to draw the line of life and a hobby/pleasure in watching anime or reading some shit. JET people are so hilariously desperate to get out of their own industry it's astounding, sure I bet a few are happy 'just being there' but like I said probably met 2-3 happy ones.
I work in Tech and every time I'd go to an event being the only other white guy I'd get just orbited by JET's because of it. Here's a few tidbits I've noticed
Jet's often will ask for any kind of way to get out of their industry as said, but will never stop asking you while most do 0% about it because it requires effort
Have essentially no social awareness that yes you are in another country but that does not make you king of the hill. The amount of JET's who are so fricking wrong in aspects of japan is mind boggling
Will cling to you like a beaten house wife the moment you keep any lose contact with them as they have no friends
Often are far more wrong than right in regards to most shit in Japan
Blissfully unaware that the only reason women are even talking to them is because they want a quick move to america strategy
Literally have no plans that being outside continue to work JET get that N# whatever and then use "those highly valued skillsets for a wide variety of jobs needing english and japanese" without any actual skillsets
More than not so far 'right leaning' that they are actually full on leftists without realizing it and because of that will never ever fricking shut up about Japan vs. America/world
I think after my first year of trying to deal with JET's and give it an actually honest and true effort I realized there is no hope. You're going to meet someone who is not your friend, they simply want to vent to you like you're their bartender and suck you for any information or chance to exit JET.
darn anon don't just start to describe me at points here with your post. I already want to fricking die you're just pulling the trigger here.
I've never posted on /trv/ with JET stuff before but I'm happy I'm not the only inaka anon around.
JET/eikaiwa really just shouldn't be an 'industry' at all. It's like a filler gap year or a way into Japan. It's really depressing seeing middle aged dudes working at fricking AEON eikaiwa.
eikawa = english conversation school, does what it means
The most depressed guy I met in Japan was a university professor who has originally come over there for post grad then knocked up a Japanese chick and got stuck there forever. He told me to get out before it’s too late, grim stuff.
Someone mention if he couldn't pull out of the gussy he sould've pulled out of the country, but
Which means JETs (JET participants) are fricked because what they do is worthless
First inaka guy responds to some comments:
how long do you have to be at work for? do you just sit around for 8 hrs of the day or do you do the basic shit and then you can frick off to do what you want rest of the day?
I have to be at work for nine hours a day. I usually spend minimum two or three hours studying Japanese. I technically get a break around lunch for an hour but lol
keep ranting i love these "insider" posts. tell more about life in the inaka
(pic because can't greentext in quote or am r-slur , so it doesn't look good, will just ignore for the rest if regular greentext)
motherlover thought he was bout to be in a countryside anime with cute farmer girls lmaoooo
Now we've got another insider redpilling people about JET
Honestly, if you're willing to embrace the NEET mentality and make the most of the copious amounts of free time and decent pay, I don't see what's to complain about. Some people in this thread are complaining about being a "tax burden", I just don't understand that perspective. Who cares, besides as an ALT you're real purpose is just to reinforce cultural stereotypes of westerners, so that Japanese people can feel special about themselves. That's the real reason the Japanese government hasn't cut us off, it's because it was never actually about teaching English. It's about making sure Japanese kids grow up seeing westerners and English as something exotic, so that they associate Japanese and Japanese culture as their true home.
The only negative point is that as I've been reading through the western Canon my interest in Japanese and Japanese media has completely plummeted. I've been coasting on Japanese I acquired back when I was serious about studying Japanese, but over the past year I haven't studied at all. Narrowly failed the N2, and still don't feel like studying the language anymore because learning Latin, Greek, French, or Italian would probably be a better use of my time given how my interests have developed.
Not interested in manga or Japanese authors?
I used to, and I actually quite liked Japanese literature for a while as well. However, what I realized is that all the Japanese literature I liked is post-Meiji stuff. I tried, but never cared much for the older stuff with the only real exception being The Peony Lantern, a story about a guy who unwittingly falls in love with a ghost, which I highly recommend.
The thing is, most post-Meiji authors were heavily influenced by the west. Osamu Dazai and Mishima both were heavily influenced by Nietzsche for example. The roots of what I enjoyed about their works were their perspectives on western themes and styles. So ironically, it was western influenced Japanese literature that brought me back to the western tradition.
As for manga/anime, I watched copious amounts during high school and have pretty much watched all the titles that interested me. Maybe it's just because I've gotten older, or maybe it's because the quality really has been dropping, but newer manga/anime don't really interest me much.
And then there's one seething about how he likes Japan so much he should've been accepted
I applied last year, have friends working there as we speak, friend of a friend works as a JET selector, have studied Japanese culture and history, have a deep love of their art form and music (not just anime), Have lived in Asia for many years as a foreigner, have been to Japan once before and had the absolute time of my life, have studied the language (a little bit, i'm certainly not good but enough to survive), have no criminal record, have a good amount of varied job experience, have experience in teaching roles, presenting to classes full of people and doing number crunching.
Rejected.
Didn't even invite me to meet them in person, just woke up one day to an email pretty much saying "We don't want you.".
Meanwhile my weeb friend (He's a good lad so this isn't an attack on his character) got accepted despite having little overseas experience, little job experience, no presenting experience and almost exclusively talked about > anime/manga on his Statement of Purpose.
Might try again this year but this REALLY soured my experience and, by extension, my year.
What are they looking for then? (Not him fyi)
Stereotypical foreigner who knows jack shit about Japan but is enthusiastic about it.
The redpill guy was right all along.
This one is advice (which I try to avoid as it's not really the subject even if pretty interesting otherwise) but a bit memey
JET for anyone who wants it
Some memes to end it because it's way too long already, 3/4 the post limit lmao why is the counter orange oh god oh frick
So are there any jobs in Japan for foreigners that don’t suck?
IT frickadoodle, pornstar, model and Yakuza "waste" disposal

MINOR UPDATE: Srdines smugpost over the whole thing; users with millions of Reddit karma tut tut about terminally online jannies
—
Shit is popping off and n8 is going out with a bang. Here is his thread wherein he admits to doing what he could to break as many of @Merari’s mops as possible before leaving:
Which is apparently what this blossoming mop war is about.
This is coming to a head a few days after the Kiwis doxxed Merari (his name is Joost for God’s sake) which you can read about here:
https://rdrama.net/post/95174/marseykiwi2pat-update-maybe-pictures-kiwicel-claims
Snappy in that thread should have an archive of the Farms post since KF is still down until later today. It’s a ride.
This is all presumably coming to a head because of Merari’s well-documented, passionate, months-long defense of child rapist Aimee Challenor.
Slack leaks coming soon, will flair thread when updated. Wanna get this posted rn so the Reddit post can be archived.
CHRONOLOGICAL OVERVIEW TO DATE
TW: MELODRAMA
SECOND UPDATE
Killhacks, whose tongue is permanently lodged up Merari’s butt, has noticed this thread almost immediately. Make an account and talk to us babe SEE UPDATE #3
Hey Femilip - it’s not n8. You can see cuz there’s a reply to his ping in one of the screens and it doesn’t have that tasteful green (yellow? am colorblind ) highlight. Also, timestamps. Both are relatively easily falsified, yeah, but I really don’t have time for that and I’m offended at the suggestion that I do.
Hi conalfisher! I still wish you’d join us for real :(
THIRD UPDATE
The groomercord user/Reddit mod there, “killhacks” is actually @tardkiller on this very website!
Here is a screenshot of his profile as I am expecting him to nuke its content imminently. Unfortunately, you can’t delete the account itself. rDrama is proudly GDPR noncompliant!
FOURTH UPDATE
Timestamps scrubbed from this other leaker by request.
I have a short presentation to give in a few, I’ll be back with more in a bit x
FIFTH UPDATE
A small one but significant? N8 is leading the charge away from Reddit and into the great outdoors lol
UPDATE 5.5 /u/CONALFISHER HAS ASSIMILATED INTO @conalfisher
SIXTH UPDATE
Million-karma Reddit poweruser /u/esoterix_luke has just groomercord dropped the tail end of a fight with merari via their Slack dms! Can Merari survive this fallout? Can Reddit survive losing TWO of its 20-hour-a-day volunteers in a month? (yes, jannies are infinitely replaceable)
rDrama user has tea on Luke:
SEVENTH UPDATE
Powerjannies are revealing their chad rDrama accounts to clown on Merari
And /u/esoterix_luke comes in hot with another Slack leak!
EIGHTH UPDATE - /r/CenturyClub leaks!
N8 has crossposted his assault on Merari to /r/centuryclub which is apparently a sub only for people with >100k karma or something?
disturbing allegations
Jannie to the jannies yalls the yallers and tells them to move to an even more exclusive subreddit lol
continued discussion of the yalling
assorted poweruser pearlclutching
Here we have a volunteer online janitor comparing Reddit moderation to work with NGOs and assorted charities. This isn't quite on the level of the guy who once essayed at me about how it's the same as working in a soup kitchen or homeless shelter, but it's close.
n8, as /u/karmanacht, explains why he left and why he's back (to piss Merari off 💜)
Some guy comes out very pro-n8 and gives a timeline of events that I'm not reading because I don't care that much. It looks good, though. You should read it.
And finally, for now, some randos also joining #TeamN8. Is it over for Joost?
EIGHT AND A HALFETHTHTH MINI UPDATE
Merari seems to have lost control of Groomercord

Tldr
Man buys over a million cds, Vinyls, and cassettes from a failed company in an attempt to start the company over again. Abandons his family and buys and moves into a warehouse in another state in one of the most violent cities in America. Spends over half a million dollars to get cockblocked by the city for zoning violations and gets robbed over 30+ times. He sneeds about the city and it's inhabitants on twitter documenting his journey. He's also trying to build a fusion reactor and a science museum in the city
MY CASSETTES!
Backstory
Murfie was a startup company that focused on the digitization of physical media into digital media. People would send their CDs, Vinyls, and cassettes, which the company would store in their warehouse and rip the contents onto their own platform for people to stream. Murfie even allowed people to buy and sell with other users on their platform.
During sometime during early November, the company asked all of it's current customers to make sure they renewed their current subscription before November 17th. No more than 5 days later, the company sent out an email to it's customers saying that the compnay was ceasing all operations including the website. This abrupt shutdown shocked everyone, that even that former CEO had one idea what had happened .
The situation only continued to spiral out of control. Murfies ToS had a clause that promised its customers that they would return all of their physical media in the case the company shut down (For a small shipping fee of course ), but with all of their services down, customers had no way of getting back their cassettes and cds. In total, there were close to a million CDs, cassestes, and Vinyls left somewhere in limbo. Unsurprisingly, people were soying out about this:
They have my 100+ cd's and $1000+ dollars. nothing to be proud of if they leave people in a lurch.
At this point everyone had lost hope that they wouldn't get their stuff back. Until one determined man showed up.
John Fenley
John Fenley is an investor, landchad, family man and an autist for music. When he heard the news of Murfie going out of business he stepped up immediately and offered to buy the remaining digital collection.
It wasn't his first venture into this type of busines. Fenley had a similar business that to Murfie that he started years ago, but was unable to find investors for his company. But this a second chance for him, because he knew what he could do it right this time. This was his white whale.
Shortly after, Fenley sold about 150k dollars worth of stock he received from another company and purchased an abandoned warehouse in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
Before we continue let's discuss Pine Bluff for those unfamiliar with it. The only aspect you really need to know about Pine Bluff is that it makes third world shitholes look like a paradise in comparison. Let us look at some statistics to truly understand it
Homicide rate:
Pine Bluff had 29 homicides in 2021. Pine Bluff had 23 murders in 2020 - a rate of 56.5 murders per 100,000 people. The national average was 6.5 murders per 100,000 people in 2020
Poverty Rate:
The per capita income for the city was $17,334. About 24.3% of families and 30.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 45.6% of those under age 18 and 13.7% of those age 65 or over.
Demographics:
A fairly dangerous city to say the least. But, Im guessing at the time Fenley didn't understand this and would come across many problems in his journey for his whale.
The journey
Fenley has been documenting his adventure on twitter. These tweets are mostly in chronological order, but these aren't all of his tweets. You can check out Fenleys twitter account to see his full journey, but im just going to show some of the highlights.
Right off the bat, Fenley has issues with the Pine bluff city hall fining him for building violations:
He eventually meets with the mayor to discuss his future prospects but that ends up going nowhere:
I should mention too, that Fenley is also trying to turn the warehouse into a science museum and that he's attempting to build a fusion reactor
Tragically for Fenley, the PineBluff goverment are a bunch of chuds that don't trust the science:
What kind of city government tries to prevent someone from opening a science museum?
Fenleys frustrations with the city government only continue to grow:
The downward spiral only continues for Fenley:
He does offer a $3 bounty to whoever catches those robbers
Had over $20,000 worth of equipment stolen last Saturday. Putting a bounty on catching the crooks.
They never catch them lmao
Fenley also starts sneeding at the police for being shit at their job:
Despair grows inside Fenley:
I should mention that Fenley is also married and has kids that live in another state. It appears that he's somewhat abandoned them in pursuit of his dream.
7 days later...
Several hours later....
Febley is also is his own security guard too. He'll often confront those on his property with a gun of couse:
Fenley called the cops on the guy in the above video, and the police actually arrested him! But the guy was quickly released from jail and came back to Fenleys warehouse:
And they let the guy go, and surprise, he came back again today.
Three kids seeing if they can steal stuff. Just another day in PineBluff.
The constant stress continues to pile on our neurodivergent Ishmael:
I should clarify that he's basically living at the warehouse fulltime to ensure that one is trying to rob it. At least one has ever tried taking his security cameras:
Can anyone tell from the sound what kind of gun I just heard firing shots outside my warehouse?
Fenley has been here for 3 years at this point and still hasn't been murdered somehow
Good movie reference!
Hopefully 2023 brings better luck to our hero
Its never going to get better for him
So far that's Fenleys entire story. An interesting one to say the least. Hopefully he doesn't get murdered so we can get more updates on his pursuit of happiness. Fenley doesn't look like he's giving up on PineBluff yet, since he's bought over 75 properties in the city so far. I truly hope he does catch his white whale one day
Thanks for reading!

@Aevann @carpathianflorist @jannies please do the needful and pin this effort
=======DUDE=======BUSSY=======LMAO========
I ran across this gentlemen sometime ago and have been meaning to cover him in some detail because he's a drama mine by the name of Simon Ateba. This all came up when he picked a fight with the utterly perfect and immune to criticism current and all time champion White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Piere.
White House correspondent Simon Ateba has accused Biden's press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre of "discriminating" against him after she left a briefing room without answering his question. Ateba, a Cameroonian journ*list who runs the online news outlet Today News Africa, has repeatedly clashed with former White House press secretary Jen Psaki and Jean-Pierre in the past two years, accusing them of ignoring reporters in the back of the briefing room.
I respect a man who doesn't want to be put in the back of the bus.
Ateba, who has long complained about the press secretary ignoring reporters at the back, is known to be one of the loudest journ*lists in the briefing room. In May, Psaki asked him to stop interrupting after he shouted questions at her during her final briefing. "Why don't you take questions from across the room? Because that's not what you've done for the past 15 months," Ateba asked, talking over another reporter, before Psaki told him: "Simon, if you can respect your colleagues and other media and reporters in here, that would be greatly appreciated."
The increasingly tense situation between the journ*list and Biden's press secretary escalated on Thursday. Jean-Pierre walked out of the White House briefing room in visible frustration as Ateba continued talking over her, asking questions about next week's U.S.-Africa summit, as she was attempting to reply to him. "I literally just tried to answer your question, and you shut me down," Jean-Pierre said, before deciding to end the press briefing prematurely and leave the room.
On Friday, Ateba made an appearance on Fox News's show Tucker Carlson Tonight, telling the TV host that it has been a "nightmare" to cover the White House while Jean-Pierre is press secretary.
That settles it, he's officially a rightoid now. Surrender the 500 marseybuxx @jannies
"It's been a disaster, a total catastrophe, a real nightmare covering the Biden White House. Right now, I'm the voice of Africa in the U.S.—but I can confirm that the level of discrimination against me and against African journ*lists in the White House is astounding, it's disgraceful," Ateba toldlson, adding that he didn't "have questions at the White House" for three months now. "Even as President Biden is about to receive 50 African heads of state in D.C. for the U.S.-African summit, she didn't give us even a single question. I've been trying for the past three months."
The journ*list went on to accuse Jean-Pierre of discriminating against him for his accent. "I sound different. I wasn't born here. I was born in Cameroon. I speak French. I speak different languages. I don't have the American accent. I've tried. I've failed and I've decided I'll stick with my accent," Ateba told Carlson. "I'm an immigrant, and she doesn't like that," he added.
This might be a good time to say the pot is calling the kettle black, but I don't know if my DEI chairperson would condone it.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Newsweek.
Whitehouse being again smhtbh
But that's just the boring news article. Time for the drama, Simon Ateba is a drama king and with the limits reduced on twitter his WALL OF TEXT can crit you for 9999 damage.
I would like to welcome my new 50 thousand Twitter followers who have joined me in the past one day as attacks continue to come my way. With nearly 200 thousand followers, I can keep getting the facts and the truth out! I need 1 million followers first, not to get attention, but because I have something important to share and the word has to get out. You know, true journ*lism is compassionate. It does not connive with the powerful to oppress and manipulate the poor, it afflicts the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, it looks at the little guy in the room with no voice, the little school with no water, the people with no lawyers, no consultants or public relations firms to defend them. Often journ*lists become part of the elite. They wear nice suits, drive nice cars, fly nice planes and have no idea what the people are going through. In the briefing room, they measure people based on how much money their outlet has, how many readers came in yesterday, they look down on those who are not on their so-called level, and they become entitled and the real people turn their backs on them. When they tweet, no one respond, because the people see the arrogance, the entitlement, the lack of empathy and compassion.
That's what I am telling them in the @whitehouse briefing room. Don't fly to Africa when you disrespect and sideline the African in the room.
You in the wrong neighborhood @whitehouse
Open your eyes and minds, I'm right here with you, not miles away, and even though my questions may be uncomfortable, that's simply me doing my job and that's what the American people want and that's what the First Amendment protects. That's why this is the United States, the most advanced country in the world where you can ask questions without fear of retaliation!
With a based black man throwing down with the literally Perfect and immune from criticism White House Press Secretary, the rightoids have begun to circle the wagons and praise him endlessly because we all know you can't cancel a black man.
For the resident rightoids who care about Tucker Carlson here's the clip he was featured in: https://twitter.com/simonateba/status/1614187080648646656
Attacked by pirates on the Gulf of Guinea with an AK47 to my head, kidnapped in Nigeria, dumped in the woods & left for dead, arrested in Cameroon during investigation & kept in dark cell
Turns out there are still based journos still out in the world
only to be sidelined at the White House.
Queen shit
Since then Simon Ateba has been using his massive surge in twitter followers to shit talk the white house and other journscum. It's nice to see someone besides Glenpai bussyblasting other Journs. Here's one of my favorites:
This guy @justinbaragona from @thedailybeast is a disgrace to journ*lism. He's been writing nonsense about me for sometime now. When he tweets, 5 people comment because he does not know what he's doing.
Checked and wrecked
I wonder if this guy has had a gun pointed to his head by pirates as I have, or been kidnapped, dumped in the woods and left for dead but survived, or even been arrested and kept in a dark cell while doing an investigative report. Can this guy remain a journ*list if he's not paid for one year? How much do you know about real journ*lism? Can you be hungry and thirsty and still do the work? Keep writing nonsense about me. Years from now, you will be ashamed of yourself. Anyway, all the little things that you write about me, doing propaganda for the government, the press secretary and the WHCA don't mean anything to me. May God forgive you.
He then finishes with this flattering photo of the Journ*
https://twitter.com/simonateba/status/1642972841887793153
He does a little bit of trolling every now and then too: https://twitter.com/simonateba/status/1665376757657026565
Folks, you were not friendly to the First Lady @DrBiden . Most of the over 4,000 people who commented on my previous tweet below did not wish her a happy birthday yesterday.

Some of these posts might be bait of course since obviously some of us dramanauts are still unbanned on Reddit and running around in the old sub.
But I don't know some of these seem pretty real. Let's go see what the normie squatters have done with our former neurodivergent goonboy mansion
https://old.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/1bm7hq7/entitled_father/?sort=controversial
My father has MANY kids with multiple women (which is rich coming from a man that calls women whres and slts). He never married and none of his children has his last name. He's just realizing this and is begging all of us to change our last name to his so we can “pass down” HIS last name. First off, I'm a woman who might get married one day and take my husband's name so that wouldn't even make sense to go through all this trouble and money to change it just to change it to a new last name especially as an adult. Second, he never raised me. Why would I change MY last name just so he can have his name passed down? Apparently the sons didn't want to do it either. Who can blame them. He should have thought about it before getting multiple women pregnant and leaving them without even child support…
… I really just don't understand what's wrong with him. I'm just tired of it.

My gpa dying in a four wheeler accident and my mom and gma ODing
My mom OD'd a year ago and I had a dream that she was alive and I didn't realize I was dreaming and that I thought that I somehow went back in time so I warned her not to take any meds bc she will die.
When I was in foster care, the woman made a 13 year old foster kid cook for us.
Mine is a cultural thing (Native American). I was raised by my grandparents and they were strict about my hair. I wasn't allowed to cut it. Only trim. When my mom cut it, it caused a fight between my mom and gma. To this day I have it long to my tailbone and only trim it. I started putting it up in a satin cap and scarf bc it gets in the way. Hair is our pride.
Are real people using our subreddit to post about their silly Reddit lives? OUR SUBREDDIT?!
Let's go through a few more of these and look at the OP accounts that at least might be real
So this one had a write up already but I didn't realize it came from our sub
I thought that was the joke for revitalizing the sub. I had to check a few profiles to see that it is not a joke. I'm guessing zoomers are looking up "drama" and reddit and finding this sub somehow.
If only they sorted by top, all time and see what it really was,
Zoomers don't know their history
I would file a complaint with the police department because this is not something they should have gotten involved in. Just keep posting everything they do on social media. Let them destroy themselves
Girl just hire a personal injury attorney and sue them for damages, and harassment/intimidation by engaging actual law enforcement to become The Hair Police to intimidate you into removing your posts.
I read through both posts. I've never gotten hair extensions and really don't know anything about them - but holy heck, even I can tell it shouldn't look like that!
Why did they call the cops on you, though? I'm very confused about why they are wasting police resources on a civil dispute. Is there something more to it that I missed?
If these are normal comments then how do these normies find our sub anyway? Is it just because we have such a classic name?

Okay so I'll start from the beginning I'm female (18), My best friend at the time let's just call her Nicole (17) at that time I recently had a break up so I decided tinder would be a good try and soon found a male 22 let's call him Cam.He would often come get me to go back to his house a sneaky link type of thing…
… I completely cut off communication blocked Nicole on everything.Then a few months later I'm with my boyfriend and Nicole decided she wants to get her friends I don't even know to call me and text me.Saying things such as calling me a hoe,fat,r-slurred saying when she see me she will beat my butt.Keep in mind in 3 months I'll be 19 and she will be a minor still.Nicole says if I do fight her she won't press charges but I know that's a lie.So how am I the butthole in this situation.
This one seems foid coded and the youngins are about that r-slurred The account has only made this post
So. I am thirteen. A female who generally enjoys kpop and music. My sister (let's call her Yuna) is going on twenty-three who also typically enjoys kpop and others. Im pretty sure she has selective speaking. She's a highschool dropout. She has diabetes and she'd been diagnosed with autism recently and i know i cant hate her for it—but it is infuriating. (P.S, we are an Asian-American household)…
… In summary, my sister is living carelessly, worklessly, rent free in my parents' house with the chore of doing nothing but eating the house out of food, stealing everyone's sh!t, not sharing anything with my elderly grandma, and only going out with me and my family for food. Only labor she's doing is taking out the weekly trash. She gets the biggest room in the house, too—WITH a walk-in closet.
Please give me some advice 😭🙏 (Yes, i used a kpop idol's name to replace my sisters even though i absolutely LOVE itzy Yuna.)
Some of us are calling bait
Changbin's, hyunjin's, felix's, and seungmin's are the most adorable to me. Jeongin's has an earthy(?) vibe for whatever reason or whatever that even means.

Hi guys, don't know where to talk about this. But I work with my family members at this third party trading company. I've been working here for 2 years , and since day 1 I've been very suspicious about my uncle. He's always going to this particular secretary in my office. She's like 34 and he's already 50. Worst part is that he's the boss of my building where I work at. If I'm not mistaken, it is against company policy to most companies for management to have something with a regular employee especially if you work under them. Everyday he visits her desk about 7-8 times during the entire 10 hour shift. He brings her food, always gives her snacks. For some reason they always tend to bump into each other at the break room or the hallways. It would be very coincidental. There would be times that I would be in the break room when she's there. He would randomly come in and always chit chats with her. When my other manager is absent and not in her office room , they tend to hide there but obviously leave the door open. My uncle has 3 kids, owns his home and has a great wife. This woman has been divorced and is known in my job for pretty much screwing everyone. Everytime I pass by them, she's always caressing his chest , back or arm. I had reported all this to my boss but she keeps saying that she knows my uncle , that she knows my uncle loves his wife deeply. I said yeah sure deep enough that he's constantly wanting to touch another woman's hand right in front of a person who has close ties with the family. The girl basically does nothing at the office, it's mostly me and 3 other girls doing her Job. The secretary ends up getting a promotion as supervisor. My uncle and my boss are basically the decision makers . So I had told my boss if this continues I will report this to HR and directly to his wife. I also said I am also convinced that her promotion was rigged because of a certain influence. I need advice on what to do. Though I had this talk with my boss, they continue doing the same thing.

Be patient with me here, I sure lack a talent in storytelling. This happened about 4 years ago and now that my mom is no longer at her current job I feel I can post about this incident. To give you some of a background, I live in a somewhat small town. My family has lived here for years. It is one of those towns where growing up I had to be on my best behavior because everyone knows everyone. One time I was picked up by some friends who were egging before picking me up and by the time I got home my mom had already had 3 phone calls from people telling on me that I was in the car that was egging. Everyone knows everyone and everyone is related to everyone. My grandma was very involved in the community and everyone calls her grandma. My mom is also very involved in the community and I swear she knows everyone. She also was on the school board and President at the time of the event that I am about to share…
… Talk about small town drama. This mayor is still the current mayor. Constantly, we see her breaking rules and she continues to create conflicts of interest for herself. Were we the buttholes in this situation? Should we just forget it and move on? Do we have the right to be mad still?

I'm currently involved in a musical production, and we've been facing some backstage drama that's been causing tensions among the cast and crew. It all started with a simple comment that got twisted into rumors and escalated into unnecessary conflict. I believe that clear communication and strategies for conflict resolution are crucial in preventing such situations.
I'm reaching out to you all for advice and tips: Have you been in a similar situation in a musical or theatrical production? How did you and your team handle backstage drama effectively? Do you have any strategies or best practices to share that can help reduce conflicts and promote a positive environment backstage?
I'm looking for insights, personal experiences, or any advice you may have on fostering a harmonious and drama-free environment behind the scenes of a production.
Your input and suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts and helping our musical production run smoothly and harmoniously.

My best friend recently broke up with his 5-month girlfriend (let's call her X) cause he found out she was cheating. Recently his ex's best friend contacted him accusing him of cheating on X from the beginning and she claimed that her best friend never cheated on him. Looking at this I got pissed and told him to block her cause what's over is over and there is no use in flipping the pages. He refused and told me that he wanted to prove his innocence and also wanted to prove her disloyalty...
... He called me an AH and stopped talking to me.

https://old.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/1b8fhfi/college_roommate_drama/?sort=controversial
I am a freshman in college, trying to figure out my roommate situation. I will use fake names to keep it confidential. I have a verbal agreement to room with Bob and Joe. After we made the verbal agreement, Joe started to act differently, especially after he got his girlfriend Mary. Bob and I have decided that rooming with Joe is going to cause a big headache throughout the year, because Joe and Mary have problems all the time. The plot thickens due to my girlfriend being Mary's roommate next year, so I feel like I will screw everything up if I tell Joe that I don't wanna room with him anymore. What should I do? Joe also has bad hygiene. It would be fine if Joe had his own room, but we do not want to get screwed over in a triple room, because Joe has Mary sleep over ALL THE TIME.

They fear your powers - that's why Joe “smells”; he is giving out anxiety/stress pheromones.
Just play it cool for now and write every interaction and observation in a notebook. Add runes for extra effect. Give it to them after you all graduate.
They will read the words and fondly remember the good times — or they may launch an attack.
In the event of the latter, you are free to use your powers wisely. Just make sure that Mary stays besties with your girlfriend to avoid this.
Alternatively, get some febreeze and spritz it on Joe.
To which OP replies,
Should I tell Joe that Bob and I don't wanna room with you anymore?
Going back it seems like the sub was partially reborn a month back when text posts started showing up again. Initially we were the ones making posts again like with Lapp's Taco Bell Insider Information and a Lawlz post but it also didn't take long at all for what might have been the first normal post to appear.

So there's a dude at work who I would run into every now and then and we'd always say “what's up” and give a fist bump. We also go to the same gym and we'd happen to see each other there as well. As of several months ago he started dating a girl who works with us and ever since he started dating her, he seems to have gotten colder and saltier towards me. Almost as if he thinks I'm after his girl or something. I had the same scenario happen with one of my friends but we settled it and I made it clear I wasn't trying to steal his girlfriend (they broke up a few months later lol). Now whenever we cross paths or run into each other, all I get is a mean mug and a stare. Like, why are people so insecure? Is it something to do with me? I hate when this happens but it seems to happen every so often.

Choice comment,
Dating a foid made him realize he actually likes bussy, and he is only mean to you cause he has a crush on you.
OP responded to the normal seeming comment
Do you have contact with either of these significant others? Maybe friendly interactions were misinterpreted as desire and ticked off the boyfriends?
OR
are you good looking? Maybe they are insecure with having you around if their girlfriend mentioned you being handsome.
OP: I haven't said a word to his girl minus work-related small talk that lasted no longer than 5 minutes.
That could be it. Some guys get weird and territorial even if their relationship is completely unthreatened if someone is around they deem a threat.
OP: Makes sense. Makes it even worse when it's in the workplace.
Anyway maybe I've fallen entirely for bait and/or maybe I'm a little here but I just wanted to do a thread for anyone who wasn't aware our once thriving Minoan subreddit has been taken over by disgusting Grecian normies. They're like pioneer species arriving at a newly born volcanic island, or in this case more like hardy roaches returning to the site of a nuclear test
It'd be funny if the subreddit took off again as a normie drama sub only for the admiggers to see the uptick in traffic and reflexively hit the ban button

Background
Recently, Barbie, Oppenheimer (and Pikmin 4) released on the same day.
It turned into a big meme where people would say "Wow, Oppenheimer and Barbie are really thematically different, but I want to see BOTH of them. Isn't that wacky?" (I saw both and they were both great, would recommend )
It was the Twitter equivalent of when Animal Crossing and Doom Eternal released on the same day :
This meme carried on for a while until just last night, when Japanese users decided they had ENOUGH of Americans mocking their tragedy and retaliated
Team 1: Japan (and their white allies )
To start, the Official American Barbie movie account responded to a Barbenheimer meme:
Japan got really mad at that, and demanded an apology. The Official Japanese Barbie Movie responded and I can't read Japanese but from the quote tweets I think it was something like this:
: Hey so Barbenheimer isn't Official and it was like super lame for the American branch to talk about Oppenheimer like he killed people and we demand an apology
Japanese twitter users added some whiny community notes to Barbie US's tweet too:
: At 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945 (Showa 20), an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima for the first time in human history. The particular nature of the damage caused by the atomic bombs is that mass destruction and mass murder occurred instantaneously and indiscriminately.
They started the hashtag "#NoBarbenheimer" to show their distaste for the meme and you can find a lot of funny seethe. Here's some highlights:
They post this image to go along with the caption:
This continues with several Japanese people making Barbie 9/11 edits:
: Can you do the same for Auschwitz victims or 911 survivor? #NoBarbenheimer
And here's one of Barbie commiting a school shooting or something idrk
They started long posting in the quote tweets of the American Barbie account too:
In typical white lady fashion, once they found out that even one person was made uncomfy by something, all jokes about it must cease probably because they love the chance to be morally righteous
The Japanese really got their breakthrough into American Twitter with this tweet:
It's from an animal showing the effects of the bombing and its at over 110k likes on Twitter and people decided that maybe bombs are not all fun and games
Team 2: African Americans
Before we can get started, you need to know about LegoMe_TheOG a 14 year old black kid who's really good at Lego animations and even animated the Lego section of Across the Spiderverse (great movie BTW ) he has been Twitter's star for a bit because his work is really impressive and he is also 14.
He jumped in on the Barbenheimer trend and even made an animation about it (very impressive stuff I think).
Terminal Reposter DiscussingFilm uploads LegoMe_TheOG's Barbenheimer render to his account (LegoMe_TheOG only got 35k likes and DF got near 90k )
The post did great for 7 days until Japan unleashed their attack yesterday:
There were more mad posts but Twitter sorts stuff weird and I don't feel like digging
Black Twitter caught wind that their golden child was under attack, and as far as they knew, Japan only started hating the meme when he posted very suspicious...
There's a lot of copers in the replies like
nooooo it's not racism we all just turned on the meme when the black kid did it coincidentally
Conclusion
That was my post I hope you liked it
