Though in this case, draupadi seemed hell bent on bathing in dushasans blood.So he probably did something which was more offending to her than the verbal abuse and all these great men doing nothing to stop it.
Or she wouldnt have been so picky and demanded krishna to off every person present in the court including her husbands and all the in-laws.
Just that much more blood for her,5 years supply at least to wash her hair. 😈
Or A private swimming pool could have been made for her to enjoy the blood.

I am sure that i have read that disrobing did happen though someone posted a topic saying it didnt.
Why?
Because after that, no one EVER mentioned the disrobing. Dusahsana dragging her by her hair is mentioned time and again by everyone.But no one talks about her being stripped though the disrobing incident is given in the sabha parva, just after the convo between vikarna and karna.
So i guess that the disrobing wasnt just higly painful to her.It was embarrasing and a thing to be ashamed of to everyone.

In the topic that was posted, the disrobing attempt did happen, after Karna rebuked Vikarna, and suggested that she be disrobed. So yeah, she had a hatred towards Karna as well (which is why I don't believe the roseapple story).

I don't think that she was bloodthirsty though. Yeah, she wanted the deaths of Duryodhan, Dushashan & Karna, but not everyone else either in the family or beyond. When she had her famous dialog w/ Krishna, it's scope was just her father, brothers & sons vs Duryodhan, Dushashan & Shakuni. She didn't demand that the rulers of all those kingdoms, or even Bheeshma, Drona, Kripa et al be sacrificed.

Of course, that last was not her call. It was Duryodhan who decided that he couldn't win a war on his own w/o involving the Kuru elders as well as his allies like Jayadrath, Susharma, Bhagadatta, et al.

Yes, she was after some specific people and rightly so. three people especially.
She didnt demand that Dhritrashtra, drona, bhishma or any other person present during her disrobing be killed too.
She wasnt as senseless and unreasonable as people make her out to be. 😆

Huh. The roseapple story is a folklore right? Just as much of a folklore as bhima sitting on a tree and seeing the court of the gods taking place beneath. Draupadi in her true form sitting with an empty cup demanding bheemas blood for breaking his promise? <_<
