GIFT theory is the most common thing on the Internet, and as much as being yelled at by a fuckin Wannabe Uberfrench hurts, it is not as bad as it WILL be for you if you keep whining.

Common forms of drama include:

  • An oppressive figure attacking a submissive figure constantly throughout the website.
  • A submissive figure attacking in retaliation of an attack by an oppressive figure.
