i’ve already left it, but i have to still get it off my chest. i hate the total drama reddit page SO much. all they do is glaze world tour, trashtalk on all stars and pahkitew island, and sic their dogs on anyone who disagrees otherwise.
like two years ago, me and my friend once got harassed in our dms for a week straight by this psycho fan on there when we so much as said we disliked a certain popular character or episode. this person even went onto random comment threads on our reddit profile to ask us “why we hated total drama so much” and “why we didn’t just leave the fandom” if we “hated it so much.” we told the mods about it and they did NOTHING. eventually that person got a panic attack over chase getting eliminated super early in season 2 of the reboot (they were also a chase stan…nuff said) and they made a whole dramatic post over it and how they were leaving the fandom after all the “hate” and to focus on their mental health. uh, more power to you, but me, my friend, and a few other users who also reported the same person harassing them weren’t sending you any hate and didn’t appreciate the open-casket royal service funeral they got in the comments of their “i’m leaving” post. don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
and a few months ago, there was a hate post about priya, one of my FAVORITE characters. i went into the comments and said that “no, i don’t think priya’s a psychotic abuser” or whatever mountain out of a molehill they were making of priya catapulting that boulder at caleb (it was a JOKE. and another thing–that subreddit, and reddit in general, takes comedy and slapstick in cartoons and anime WAY too seriously. not every character is an evil villainous abuser just for punching the pervert character in the face or slapping a dimwitted character upside the head.) anyways, i got a ton of downvotes with no explanation or arguments back, which i didn’t really care about and honestly expected. what bothered me was a well known mod in the subreddit who started arguing with me in the comments about priya being an abuser. things got so heated to the point where they started TRAUMA DUMPING about how their parents slapped them around as a kid, and how i was being “inconsiderate” and “triggering” people for expressing that i still liked priya in season 2, even with her rollercoaster of a relationship with caleb. they eventually removed all of my comments for the rule “uncivil conduct,” but i checked a few hours later, and my comments were back up, so they either UN-removed them because they knew they abused their mod authority or another mod put my comments back up because they knew the mod i argued with was abusing their authority.
either way, insane stans and power hungry mods are commonplace over there. and worst of all is probably the discussions themselves. we’re in a total drama content drought, in case you haven’t noticed, and the only way people on that subreddit are sustaining themselves in this famine is by saying the SAME discussion points over and over again (blah blah blah, we know, you hate sundae muddy sundae. EVERYONE does. can we perhaps have a more interesting opinion for once in our lives?), stealing posts (especially memes, low hanging fruit. and btw, rampant and unchecked meme theft is the tell tale sign of a subreddit thats about to keel over and starve and die from a lack of content), and letting bots repost posts and calling you some sort of party-pooper or “overdramatic”for pointing it out (sorry i don’t want ai slop and clankers infiltrating a fandom space).
anyways. i can’t wait for that place to die out and i feel so guilty typing this out, but the evil part of me wants total drama to stop coming out with content forever (including dramarama, but let’s be honest, didn’t we as a fandom collectively disown that nick jr. reject when that fart fairy fetish episode came out?) just so the subreddit can shut up already. ugh. hate it so freaking much.
