My worst memories come from there. Yes, there's racism and all that, but then you accidentally find the "Pain" page.

And you never go back.
thank you, I had never seen the Pain page before you mentioned it
I don't think I'll be eating today or tomorrow or the day after that

They make racist jokes simply for the sake of making racist jokes, they abhor actual racism. They even warn people that "This person might actually be racist" if they suspect a user of genuine racism.

you complain of the racism and stupidity yet, in your post you use the word gay as a derogatory term, the word is hypocrite.

ED is not meant to be taken seriously.

It's not racist per se in that it's racist to everything and everyone.

You think it's racist to black people? Look up the white people article.

Think it's racist to Asians? Look up the article on Europe.

It even personally hates you.

It hates males, females, short people, tall people, blacks, whites, rich people, poor people, middle class people, smart people, dumb people, politicians, gamers, book-readers, computer programmers, everybody.

It takes a while to get used to it, but once you realise the fact that it hates everything, the feelings of hate towards it for hating you fades.


Also, I bet soon this thread is going to turn into a "OH DUDE HAVE YOU SEEN THE OFFENDED PAGE!?!_1!-10!!!!one!!" thread and will be locked because of it.

Also, the whole "ED is SEXIST!1!" thing is completely invalid due to the fact that it is created and run by a woman.

I recently visited a website called Encyclopaedia Dramatica. Probably most, if not all of you are familiar with it.

I was not. I was really surprised and depressed by the amount of bigotry and racism that was present on that website. I was especially depressed by some of the articles concerning Asians/Orientals. It seemed to me, that whoever wrote that had an image of Asians/Orientals as being a bunch of impotent retarded f*ck pigs.

Now I do realise that places like that are a breeding ground for trolls and flamers (not in the gay sense of the word). However, I want to ask you whether such attitude is prevalent in Western society. I have once lived in Russia (12 years), so I am not completely unfamiliar with it. But, since I left when I was in grade 6, it is possible that I missed/skipped most of the racism and supremacist attitudes.

Thank you for your replies in advance.

EDIT: Just in case any of you think of me as a self righteous c*nt: "I am not trying to say that my opinion is absolutely correct. After all, it is JUST an opinion. So no need to get all frustrated and slag me off. Actually, that DOES sound kind of self righteous. Feel free to slag me off" (No sarcasm)
That's not even the worst... by far...

Alright. I am sorry for that. I assure you that I didn't mean it. I am not exactly preaching political correctness myself, so don't call me a hypocrite. However, good point. Let me fix that (the "gay" part)

^ this... My god what a disrespectfull page.
That kid with his guts laying out. It is something in my head in my mind. Just awfull... There are some sick people that created that page. They think they are hardcore or something, but they are just sick and disturbed...
agreed, when it comes to this sick stuff, I can usually stomach it, but it's just when it gets to the animal stuff, I can't help myself I almost throw up, absolutely the worst internet experience of my life.

I can't think of how anyone in the world can be this messed up to 1. Take these photos. 2. Post them on the internet for everyone to see.

There should be rules against this on the internet, and these sort of sites should be destroyed.

Here is my opinion on ED:

If you hate something, go there and read about it. It will make you happier.

That's how the site works.

Rule 1 of the internet: Beware of racists, sexists, assholes, extremists and just about every social degenerate that can exist

Subsidiary of rule 1: All can be found in /b/ on 4chan or on Encyclopaedia Dramatica

It could be amusing at times.
Even the pages that are supposed to insult me.

I think you're taking the internet too seriously. It's a piss take made by trolls because they were bored and needed something funny to do. But no, racism isn't as common as the media make it out to be. Usually when it is in the media it's a hate crime like murder. I'd just not take the internet too seriously and realise that everything is always blown out of proportion.

Yeah, the website is a parody. It shows you how bad a person can be and then takes that 'bad-ness' and factors it by 10. It's hard not to laugh at some of the stuff due to the batshit crazy connections it makes between wildly different subject fields. Nobody could possibly think anything out of ED is useful or correct information, and therein lies teh fun.

Its about seeing people trying to think of what the absolute worst examples of Humanity would think when they try to describe a social moray.

Conservapedia scares me a million times more ... unlike ED I can't tell whether Conservapedia is a parody of hardline Christian America or whether or it's being told in honesty as concerning to the various writer's thoughts and feelings on the matter.

Conservapedia is where you go to question what sanity there is in Humanity.

ED Is a joke website, everything they say about ethnic groups, countries or religions are jokes.
The only things they say they like are Cats and Breasts.

It's a satirical site meant to offend as many people as it can. Any racism or bigotry you see there is not to be taken seriously. In fact actual racism or bigotry is looked down upon. Although the articles about individuals can be surprisingly accurate since they back stuff up with videos, links, screenshots and the like. It's essentially a playbook for trolling.

Mate, ED is not a serious place. It's racism for racisms sake, they do it for laughs rather than out of hatred. Yeah, it offends a lot of people, but it can't be shut down. To be fair, the people it offends just tend not to browse it.
Well, I am feeling a bit better. I am about to leave for England and I am not really sure what is it going to be like there. Since I am an impressionable little girl (I am a guy), I was afraid of a racist society, where Caucasians reign supreme. Guess that it is not the case. Good to hear
Nah, we're nice really! Except if you're a Londoner in Glasgow...
