>an outlet of memes and random irl discussion that are not VR related.
Yeah, because VR discussion is supposed to go to the thread, doofus. 
The discord is supplemental for things the thread can't do, like having the ability to quickly contact an anon, sharing files, pings or exactly the social community interaction between /vrg/ members that you don't like - so it doesn't need to be in the thread or another platform instead.

>If we didn’t have discord non of this personal drama would have existed.
Completely and utterly delusional. As long as there are identities, someone will inevitable get upset at them. Even if there was no discord and no VRChat, someone would shitpost specific people that they are upset at. They don't even have to be real people. There don't even need to be names. All it takes for personal drama are two or more people.
