I'm not a user there, but when I randomly came across the site, it was gone!  :D  :)  :lol:  :lol  :birthday  :spit  :celebrate  :cheers

Oh, but darn, now where will I be able to read whole articles of "fag" and "Jew" when I must?

Now *that* is interesting.  No idea how long it'll stay down though, I think there's a high demand of troll articles.

Apparently its been replaced by 'Oh Internet', which isn't as extreme.

Then you're missing out a lot, my friend. TONS of LOLs and ROFLs to be found on that site. Seriously, I go there everytime I need to make myself giggle. :lol

...try not to take the site as offensive, though. They're all just meant to be jokes. ;)

No, it's not. It's a site there trolls rage without consequence.

I've heard about ED a long while back.

They've even dedicated an entire page to "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic."

I don't read ED anymore. I read CWCki (http://www.sonichu.com/cwcki/Main_Page)

Well, I don't like being told that everything I like is crap and that I'm an idiot for liking it.

But seriously, I love the people who complain about Encyclopedia Dramatica. It's those people that make ED as popular as it is. And you know what? ED can say whatever they want. It's a little something called Freedom of Speech. Yeah what they say isn't nice but the world and teh internetz aren't exactly nice places. I've said it before: You act like an idiot on the internet, you're going to be treated like an idiot. That's why people like Chris Chan, Aknotholeresident, and Christianu2uber have articles on ED, because they made fools out of themselves. Don't make yourself look stupid, you won't be ridiculed.

@EggStealerGirl, I didn't see the Friendship is Magic article you were talking about. I found a My Little Pony article but it said nothing about Friendship is Magic.

That's why I don't typically even talk about ED. I'm only voicing my opinion now that the infernal place is dead.

Yes, I did. Still not the same thing since that new site is nowhere near as extreme.

*Shrugs*

I dunno. I just don't see the point in getting angry about Encyclopedia Dramatica. What will getting angry about it really accomplish? Think of it this way: The more anger you show towards it, the more popular it becomes. If you really hate the site so much, just ignore it. It won't go away but it won't be as popular.

As for me, I kind of like Encyclopedia Dramatica. They've made fun of things I like (One Piece for example) but I usually find what they have to say hilarious. I actually crack up every time I read their One Piece article.

That's why I stayed quiet about it, I repeat. I didn't hate on it and gain it attention. I said that quite clearly.

How is whole articles of "fag" and "Jew" hilarious? It's not humor. It's raging trolls venting their angry under the pretens of humor.

That's what makes it funny.

No, Whose Line Is It, Anyway is funny. Mel Brooks is funny. Richard Prior is funny. Robin Williams is funny. The Nostalgia Critic is funny. Bill Cosby is funny. If ED is considered funny, then no wonder the Movie Movie guys are able to make it.

Post by: Animeboye on April 20, 2011, 07:02:44 PM
Well that's YOUR opinion. There are people who don't think that the Nostalgia Critic and Bill Cosby are funny. That doesn't make them wrong. It's just an opinion.

You don't think ED is funny. That's perfectly fine. But there are people that do find it funny. You know what? I find racist humor funny. I admit it. I like shock humor so that's probably why I like ED. Also what do Friedburg and Seltzer have to do with ED?

I've never visited that site before. I love South Park, so something tells me I'd love that site too. I'll go give it a look.

Racist humor? Oh, so jokes about kids in inner city projects are your source of chuckles, then? Nice. Yeah, there's a reason Cosby's humor has and always will last longer than anything ED related.

Alright, you know what? I've tried to be nice, I've tried to be calm, I've tried to avoid starting another flame war on this site but you've pushed all my fucking buttons! You wanna know why I find this kind of humor funny? 'Cause I do, simple as that! I hope that's a good enough answer for you because I don't feel like writing a frickin' essay!

And for the record, my friend, I LIVED in the frickin' city for the first six years of my life! I know how terrible city life can be. I probably know that a lot better than you ever will.

You know what? After reading the PM you sent me earlier, I actually felt a little bad for the way I treated you but now I don't. All you ever do is shoot down opinions that aren't exactly the same as yours. You say you don't like being told that what you like sucks and you suck for liking it yet you've done the very same thing.

They require good writing, too. I am appalled to be on the same website as someone like you. With a single comment about movies not needing character development or good stories you have offended every intelligent brain cell I possess.

Did The Lion King rip-off the vastly overrated and terrible KimbThe White Lion?

Avatar isn't worthy of any mention.

I'm done. I'm tired of arguing with you. I'm tired of dealing with your rudeness, and I'm tired of you bashing mine and other peoples' opinions. To avoid getting into any deeper trouble, I'm just going to block you and I suggest you do the same to me. Farewell.

EDIT: Well I can't access my block list so I'm just not going to talk to you anymore.
