“Rupaul’s Drag Race Subreddit Has Had Enough of Tomodachi Life Posts!”
Since the launch of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream earlier this month, various subreddits have been buzzing with clips and images showcasing the game’s unique ability to let characters from virtually any game, book, movie, or show interact in hilarious ways. However, one unexpected group is not thrilled about the influx of Tomodachi content: fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
A recent announcement from the moderators of the RuPaul’s Drag Race subreddit made it clear that Tomodachi Life posts are being sidelined, along with “fantasy seasons, reposts, poor titles, fancasts, and low-effort crossposts.” Given that Drag Race is currently in its off-season, there’s not much fresh content for fans to discuss, so it’s understandable that players of Tomodachi Life who also enjoy the show might want to have some fun. Still, it can be frustrating for a community focused on serious discussions to be flooded with memes that don’t align with their rules against “low-effort, off-topic, or fantasy season posts.”
While many posts have been taken down, a few standout Miis have managed to survive the purge:
The mod post wraps up by clarifying that the crackdown on Tomodachi Life content is due to the sheer volume of posts, but it does leave the door open for exceptions if the content is “really good” or shared on “shitpost Tuesday.” Ah, the beloved Shitpost Tuesday.
On the flip side, the Tomodachi Life subreddit is taking the situation in stride, with users expressing amusement and understanding. They’ve even noted that the wave of Tomodachi posts seems to be spilling over into other subreddits. Plus, they pointed out that the mod post’s seemingly stern title is actually a lighthearted nod to RuPaul’s Drag Race.
So, keep your Tomodachi Life content within the designated zones, folks. Or save it for Shitpost Tuesday… wait, that’s today! Well then, let the Tomodachi fun commence, friends.
