My Views: Dealing With Drama

Posted by CIEIRMusic - November 22nd, 2022


This one is unique as this one has evolved over the years.


No matter where we come from, what our race, sex, orientation, religion and political views we have there is one thing that unites us all. The ability to create, put up with and make Drama higher priority than our own lives. I myself am no exception.


Whether my intentions are good or ill, the result is often the same that because I decide to fight and regardless if I'm right or wrong, my words have consequences. Allows those who used to be my friends, collaborators and so on, to view me in a different light. Yet despite that I continue to fight for what I believe is the right thing to do. I'm willing to risk ridicule, harassment and even the possibility of losing my account, should someone do something I view as wrong. However over the years I've evolved and changed over time. In my youth, I was more impulsive and more of an asshole. If someone didn't agree with me, I'd treat them like shit, not caring about the consequences that befall myself or the person who happened to piss me off at the time. Nowadays, I've come to the conclusion that this type of action is wrong, mainly because I didn't take the time to stop and think. Yet, while I do that, there are others who shall remain nameless, who insist on keeping the drama going either because they revel in suffering or they are simply that bored and ashamed of their personal lives that the only way they can acknowledge their own existence is by trying to erase others systematically. A lot of them are cowards, hiding behind a screen, because they're afraid to face their victims head on. When I was a kid, whenever I got bullied or beat up, the bullies at least had the decency to say and do their shit to me directly rather than have net cojones. The closest we got to Cyberbullying were prank calls and even then the jokes and insults were so lame that they ended up being Ironically Funny.


Of course like the other articles in this series, I divide it over different subjects.


Drama over disagreement

Part of the reason why I'm often on the shit list of many people on the net, is because either they freak out on me for not agreeing with them or I insult them when I find them too stupid or psychotic to take seriously. Which gives them enough traction to treat me like I'm gonna be the next Adolf Hitler. Before I used to try to explain myself, but it often falls on deaf ears, so I let the babies have their botttles and ignore it until it comes back to me. But the one thing that pisses me off about it, mainly because I used to be one of these assholes, is that these people manage to get so many gullible naive kids involved in their bullshit, because said kids easily give in to mob mentality......as well as some adults. In fact the damn thing becomes borderline cultish and pedophilic. First off, while I may sound like a hypocrite as I was a kid when I discovered this site, I don't think kids should ever use this site, simply because there are just as many adults here, talking adult situations and these kids somehow get themselves involved in it. Which sickens me to my very core. I worry that certain people would end up convincing these kids to start rioting at best or at worse make them commit mass suicide. To an extent I don't think kids should have access to social media. Part of the reason why so many kids are toxic is because, their parents use it as their kid's babysitter. The same parents that complain when they see violent or sexual content on their computers and instead blame the computer and the source of the content rather than themselves. And their attempts to make this site more kid friendly simply just gave them an outlet not only to go after other kids, but also start wars between kids and adults. You would not believe how many people use the "You're fighting with kids, you're the bad one" Argument on me. Much of the reason why I don't acknowledge it, is based on the following factors.

  1. For all I know, these aren't kids I'm arguing with, but childish adults raised on screen dependency that treat the whole world like it's their social media and ergo damn others for trying to bring them back to reality and tell them, the consequences of their actions.
  2. Barring that, if they are kids, then it's on both them for going on sites like this and social media knowing they're fighting with adults. As well as the parents for letting their kid run free to bully the world like he does other kids at school.

All because someone either disagreed with them or disagreed with someone they idolized. Now there are some exceptions. Good kids that actually try to promote their creativity and avoid drama while they can. Some of which I'm proud to call my friends. However they're in the minorty compared to the rest, their voices silenced by those who care only about their own status points and the fuckers that try to please, coddle and cater to them. All while trying to bring the few good people out there, down to their level.


Drama over public Figure/Celeb

I admit I'm guilty of this too. Before I joined on this site, I've defended controversial figures before, with literally the same success as I defended Jes, simply because I thought they were innocent. Or at the very least, things got blown way out of proportion that the way the person gets treated feels undeserved. Case in point Jes. Before I saw how they were treating him over this thing, I was ready to ignore him based on the insinuation alone. Yet to his credit when I talked to him about it, he was honest. He admitted it, told me his reasons, showed clear regret to this day and because I knew him a little longer than I knew his accusers I trusted his word and even then I was pissed off enough to stay silent after that. It wasn't until I saw these people, ridicule him to the nth degree like they were fucking General Population, that I stepped in and defended him. For him and others, I've fought harshly with people whom disagreed with me and treated them like scum and they in turn not only fight me worse, but tell everyone they know about me, so they can go after me if they wanted to. I say what I have to say, I argue, then I move on unless someone or something drags me back into it. Much of the reason why I do that is because the drama usually gets started by people. Ordinary people whom happen to gained some fame on the net, who are not cops, nor lawyers, yet not only do they act like both for the net, but they convince their own toxic fans, that their word is God. If I cannot convince people there are other sides of the story, no matter how harshly I tell it, then I try to move on and I've become a better person because of it. Much of the reason why people keep fighting each other over this, is because they cannot comprehend the idea that some people disagree. That some people think they're wrong. However the main reason I even remotely defend these figures, against them are for 3 reasons.

  1. I was raised to fight for those who couldn't fight for themselves.
  2. Regardless of how right you feel about a situation, if you're being an asshole, I refuse to give you the satisfaction. It shows me that right or wrong, your true colours emerge and you're just looking for an excuse to hurt people. I should know, I used to do that myself as a kid. I grew out of it. Clearly you didn't.
  3. As a kid growing up, I've done stupid things that at best got me in trouble and at worst nearly got me killed. People have stepped in and helped me and I'd be dishonouring them if I didn't at the very least try for the next person. Especially if I owe said person one.

If anyone were to ask me if I regret anything, it's that I didn't try harder. Yet because people love to fight so much and love to gawk at people they don't know personally, it's a losing battle.


Drama For The Sake of Drama


This here, not only sums up the other two, but is the main reason why everything is so toxic about the net. When the internet was first out, it was nothing but people bitching about movies and sharing pornography with each other. Nowadays with everything hooked into everything, we are basically in the Net equivalent to a cramped room. Some people glad to be with others they like, while some decide in an effort to clear said room, start fights for the hell of it. One thing I've noticed on places like this and Youtube is that the drama always starts, when someone hides something on someone and only brings it out when they feel they've beuen slighted. What they consider a trump card I consider being an accessory after the fact, as well as blackmail and entrapment, considering many of them often withhold the knowledge of a potential crime and only use it when someone does something petty in comparison to it. If it's kids doing this, then considering Blackmail and Entrapment are federal offences and withholding info on a potential federal offence, that's grounds to try you as an adult and put you in prison with grown men who are willing to do unspeakable things to children. Is the drama worth it now? I may not agree with what they think, but even I know well enough to know, that their actions regardless of how right they feel have fucked them royally. All because they wanted to keep drama going. The worst part is, that adults are guilty of this kind of thing too. With the same childish mentality that they think they're gonna leave this unscathed.


So in conclusion. My view on drama is that, we can to so much without it, but at the same time, a lot of us are so fucking stubborn that they'll keep it going by any means. Which is why to set an example, from this article forward, I will no longer get involved with anyone's drama bullshit. I am gonna continue doing what I'm doing. Making music and trying to make it in the entertainment business. And I suggest you all do the same. No matter how strongly you feel about something, it's not worth destroying your phyiscal, mental, emotional and if you believe in it, spiritual health.


That said if you feel the need to outlet any negative emotions I once again direct you to a great man Mister Fred Rogers:


Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for more entertainment to come.
