What does "forced drama" mean?

drama that's forced
Really cheesy drama, something that really doesn't fit the plot and just feels contrived

Outlandish drama created by the author over nothing to add spice over his dull plot.
Well, drama is almost always forced, even in real life.
>>134418488
It's one of many phrases you can use when you want to dislike something popular but you can't think of any legitimate reasons why it's bad.
Alternately you can just state the genre of the show and add the suffix "-shit" to it.
It means 4chan is better writers than people who do it for a living.
Melodrama
>>134418488
when emotional development/conflict/interaction occurs and the antisocial anime audience cringes at the sight of what they perceive to be poorly written dialogue. Sometimes they're right, but usually they're just overreacting to the not amazing writing.
Forced sad soundtrack in a not really complicated conflict between characters.
>>134418488
Honestly any drama that doesn't fit naturally into the story.
>Semi-historical fiction SOL set in Victorian England
>Suddenly with minimal buildup half the cast gets killed by Jack the Ripper
That's forced drama
>>134418488
>>134418488
drama I don't like
>>134418860
You could liked forced drama though.
I mean hypothetically if a character you absolutely hated just got raped and killed without buildup you could enjoy it. Wouldn't make it any less forced.
>>134418488
It doesn't mean anything. The term was invented by some moron on 4chan years ago, but then escaped into the real world. All drama is "forced", in that events are deliberately contrived by the writer to produce a dramatic effect with little or no consideration for naturalism or even plausibility.
>>134418927
if a character I absolutely hated got raped I'd like it to be as forced as possible if you catch my meaning
Drama that wouldn't exist if the viewer were put into the story, since we would have perceived it as pointless and would have immediately dismissed it. Doesn't make it less realistic, as different people with different attitudes more similar to what's found in the story might exist.
Pretty much what >>134418860 said.
hyouka was probably the best example
>Comfy show about a club solving mundane mysteries
>Suddenly "OREKI HOW DARE YOU NOT PUT EFFORT IN SOLVING THIS CRAPPY MOVIE'S MYSTERY?!"
>Every character acts like Oreki raped their puppy and killed it infront of them.
>>134418616
Criticism doesn't imply you can do it better, this is an idiotic argument
>>134418488
angel beat is the very definition of forced drama.
>>134420038
Hyouka is not so forced. Oreki just wanted to get some pussy.
>>134418488

Think forced animation but with drama.
>>134418488
I don't know or care but this is now an Arakawa under the bridge thread.
Why is P-Ko so best?
>>134419288
This is a meaningless observation; obviously anything that happens in a fictional story occurs because the writer put it there with the intent of affecting the audience in some way. But that doesn't mean all dramatic developments are equal.
I don't know if something similar exists for fiction in general, but consider Ronald Knox' ten commandments of detective fiction. Of course, it's possible to write a good detective story without following these commandments and following them is no guarantee that you've written a good story, but think about why these commandments were thought up in the first place: why would it be bad to have more than one secret passage or to reveal the existence of a twin after the mystery has been solved?

Watch Idolmaster 23-26. This is forced drama
>>134422616
I fucking love her voice.
>>134418927
That isn't forced drama, that's everyday life during war time
>>134422616

Haruka eats everyone and multiplies, destroying their careers?
>>134422616
Is she a real plant?
>>134423192
Haruka almost murders the producer, quits (iirc), Eva 25-26 shenanigans, comes back, last gig of the anime and credits roll
And that only 23-24 though, sorry. Watching it was awful, felt like watching 4 episodes
>>134423364
You're tempting me to watch idolmaster, sir. That is very naughty.
>>134423364As Haruka tries to walk away from the Producer, Haruka almost falls into a hole on stage. The Producer manages to pull her to safety, only to fall into the hole himself.
HAHAHAHA WHAT. People watch this?
>>134423445
Cinderella Girls is better though
>>134423594
Well, that's an example of forced drama.
>>134418488
When something stupid happens and then the show seems stupid because it happened for no reason other than because bad writing.
I still don't know what the author was thinking when picrelated was changed in to a SERIUS drama.
>>134418488
It means that people don't behave like perfect logical algorithms and I get upset about it!
It means Clannad
>>134418488
plot that can easily be compared with a mexican soap opera in terms of retardness, twists and "sadness"
>clannad
>angel beats
>air
Free will always be the master of forced drama.
I just wanted cute boys swimming.
>>134423911
Anon sez: Anime is not allowed to be sad.

>Really cheesy drama, something that really doesn't fit the plot and just feels contrived
\ thread
>>134424180
What if the plot is entirely really cheesy drama?
>>134424215
Then the entire show is forced.
Did someone say forced drama?
>>134424550
>please break up with me
Who the fuck says that?
>>134418522
So every story ever where the MC is thrown out of his normal life by events?
>>134418488
That it's not a SoL
>>134418488
It means EMOTIONALLY UNJUSTIFIED DRAMATIC FRAMING of events, based on the setting or the characters.
Somebody dies in a freak accident, but it's treated unemotionally, without dramatic framing? Not drama, therefore also not forced drama. However, it can be a good foundation site for dramatic framing of events that follow, such as people acting emotionally at the funeral etc, but this has to be handled skillfully.
Somebody dies in a freak accident, and the situation is framed, depicted and otherwise treated emotionally and dramatically? Forced drama.
A drunk driver's passenger dies in a car accident after we have witnessed previous events (e.g. emotional turmoil) leading up to the driver drinking and driving against better judgment, and the situation is framed dramatically? Not forced drama.
>>134418488
Unnecessary conflict that attempts to build up unnecessary tension to what we call forced drama to the point where it does not entirely fit.
>>134418616
Kill yourself
It's just another /a/ term for heavy-handed drama.
>>134424975
>Somebody dies in a freak accident, and the situation is framed, depicted and otherwise treated emotionally and dramatically?

>forced drama
Are you fucking serious?
