[R] Hello everyone! Welcome back to the Drama Nation podcast...
[U] ...where we discuss all of YOUR favourite niche small town dramas!
[R] Now, tonight's drama is a juicy one. You remember Harold?
[U] Oh, the political extremist? Yeah, I know him. He fell off though, lol.
[R] Remember how he threatened a bunch of teenagers and abused some of them?
[U] Hang on, let me think...
[U] Wait, yeah, I do. I completely forgot he did that!
[R] And do you remember when that place refused to do anything about it, despite having written to the council a few times?
[U] Oh, I remember that!
[R] One of Harold's victims has come out AGAINST that drama!
[U] Why would they ever do that? Play the clip!
[AUDIO FROM THE CLIP STARTS PLAYING]
[2] That "drama" was absolute nonsense caused by someone not being able to talk things out with someone else.
[2] I was working behind the scenes with [THE LOCAL HERO] during that situation, since I was on good terms with both him and the place's owner.
[2] I didn't enjoy my trauma being used for some hate train against my friend, but I gave him advice.
[2] He immediately disregarded all of my advice, such as "negotiate" and "be passive", and started that fight in the street!
[2] None of it was about justice for the victims. If it was, we would've had riots against the people who we tried to contact first.
[2] But despite them trying to find & then ally with Harold, nothing happened to them.
[2] And if it truly was about justice for the victims, my advice wouldn't have been disregarded.
[AUDIO FROM THE CLIP STOPS PLAYING]
[R] What a rude thing to say! Doesn't she know that he was trying to help her?
[U] Hmm...
[U] You know what, I think I'm a bit of a centrist on this old drama.
[R] What?!
[U] I feel like it was justified for her abuse to be used as a talking point in a drama, but, um...
[TWO SECONDS OF COMPLETE SILENCE PASS]
[U] I'm neutral.
[R] But you do agree she needs to be taken down a notch, right?
[U] Yeah, absolutely. She's just overreacting at this point.
