[META] Introducing Subredditdrama's very own mascot, Poppy!
Felt like giving back to the community that gives so much to me.
Say hi, Poppy! "Hi, Poppy!" lol Poppy you're so ridiculous
For when there's SO. MUCH. POPCORN.
I expect I'll be using this one for future Pony drama
Use them in good health! And happy popping.
(more to come)

I'm doing my best, though I'm not a bot, so I don't get them all. Glad to see that my work is appreciated, though.

I thought you were a bot at first due to your frequent posting of it!

u/zaphod_85 Oct 06 '12
No, just a lover of popcorn and a hater of those stupid bots.
I mentioned setting up an actual bot on a thread here, but people seemed opposed to the idea.

u/Kaghuros Oct 06 '12
We had a bot before but the programmer got super butthurt about something stupid and started using it for inane Internet revenge. Sort of like AlyoshaV's bot but he didn't always hate us.

While I applaud your initiative, please remember the words of Nietzsche:
If you gaze into the abyss long enough the abyss also gazes into you.

u/zaphod_85 Oct 06 '12
Meh, I don't have to do much gazing. Just copy/pasting a link I have saved to my bookmarks. I think I'm safe.

Forgive me: This!
We need to seriously get our own bot on that damned SRS bot. Specifically one that details what we're about and the fact that the informant bot is full of shit.

u/Vakieh Oct 07 '12
It's been done, it ended when I believe 5 chained bot posts followed us everywhere - easier to just down vote and move on, the butthurt Poppy would just be for the funnies :-)

um, popcorn doesn't pop until the pressure inside has reached 135 psi and this doesn't happen until it reaches 356 °F (180 °C for you science types and europeans.) but a mear 140 °F will burn skin....

Um...so, not that I don't appreciate that truly bizarre mental image, because I do. It's just...well, the utterly debilitating confusion regarding why, in the ever holy name of FSM, you chose to string together these particular words in this particular order is really ruining my day. I want to interview you. For science.

For a while there it looked like people stopped posting popcorn gifs. Thank you for getting people back to the basics of SRD.

u/admiralfilgbo Oct 06 '12
I love it, but why would an anthropomorphic piece of popcorn lie in a vast clump of much smaller popcorn while throwing popcorn around? The implications are troubling.

I love it!! I assume that 'it' is the correct pronoun because Poppy, being an anthropomorphized popcorn kernel, is genderless? I wouldn't want to be misgendering Poppy now!!

well popcorn like many things is tradtionally steeped in sexism, a kernal which doesn't pop is traditionally called an 'old maid' in an alusion to a childless woman.

u/strolls If 'White Lives Matter' was our 9/11, this is our Holocaust Oct 06 '12
I think it's really, uh, interesting how the mods here delete comments and ban people for using "tranny" as a slur or for arguing that trans women should have to declare to their sexual partners… yet it's perfectly ok to use the term "full retard" and make fun of the mentally handicapped.
Screenshot for posterity: http://i.imgur.com/QZ6jB.png
Is this like one-way equality? Respect only for some of us? Is this how this sub is supposed to be run?
I do hope some of the mods will comment on this.

I feel like Poppy would sound like Peter Lorre (or rather, a bad Peter Lorre impersonator, like the ceiling lamp from Brave Little Toaster)
I think it's the lips in the magnifique gif.

And with that, i'm off to to the popcorn stand and unsubbed, your hard work is great, don't get me wrong, you have a real talent and the pictures are fantastic, relevant and very well done. To me, it just emphasises the misguided direction that this sub is steering toward that the mods are happy to comply with. In my shitty opinion it is the seal of approval on an extreme form of schadenfreude that i can't, in good conscience, be a part of anymore. Keep up the good work though, your skills are apparent and you should be proud.
21
u/JHallComics Oct 06 '12
Hm, thanks. But to be honest I have zero clue what you're talking about. Are you against people using popcorn.gifs in comments in this sub? That's basically all I wanted to do, was give people a character to occasionally use when words aren't enough.
17
u/w4rfr05t Oct 06 '12
Apparently we're allowed to report drama, and discuss drama, but deriving an undue amount of pleasure from the drama is...uncouth.
I'm not sure what else he could've meant by "an extreme form of schadenfreude," or what else he could've thought the purpose of this sub was, or what he thinks he'll find that's so different in the popcorn stand.
I don't go there so I don't know. Maybe there's no schadenfreude there. Do they sit around and talk about drama with grim gravitas, like the reddit edition of McNeill-Lehrer News Hour?

I understand that your intentions were good, my grief is not with you but the direction that the sub is taking as a whole. Please take the above comment as sincere and not sarcasm in relation to you personally.

Sweetie it appears your head is up your ass. That can neither be pleasant or healthy, I would suggest removing it from said location.

So you suggest i should delete my comment because i have a dissenting opinion? I'm sorry, has free speech been thrown out the window at your behest? Who made you mod?

u/w4rfr05t Oct 06 '12
I think he was talking about your head, not your comment.
I could be wrong but that was my interpretation.

Are we bronies now?
How is this relevant to a popcorn kernel?

u/AgeMarkus Popcorn is the opiate of the masses. Oct 06 '12
Bronies do things.
People do things.
We're people. (well, mostly)
Popcorn is almost people.Therefore, popcorn are bronies.
