I Just Lost Faith In The Internet

[Tib088]

It's just someone ranting because they got banned.

 

[Ryengu]

Looks like Encyclopedia Dramatica, do not take seriously, is only for lulz. Have nice day. ???. Profit.

 

[Cheesus333]

that sounds like an overreaction

I read that in the soothing voice of Deckard Cain. Win.

OT: There's really only one thing to say about this, really.

Haters gon' hate.

 

[JMeganSnow]

I find this rather amusing. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and if people make an effort to make fun of you, that means they take you seriously. So really, this is all win for the Escapist.

Maybe they'll start spoofing Extra Credits next.

Reading some of the content about MovieBob makes me laugh, really. I don't know what those people are trying to do over there but it's not going to have any affect on whether or not people enjoy Bob's videos and articles. If they're expressing opinions about his character then I can't say I'm surprised that there are actually some people out there who would do it. Because nobody cares what they think about some guy who reviews stuff and does stuff on a website on the internet.

They're wasting their time.

I do love this line from Yahtzee's page

"Another reason why he hasn't developed the same hatedom as other people is because he simply doesn't give a shit."

Yeah, that had me chuckling as well.

OT: I agree with everyone else for the most part with everyone else. The escapist and escapist forums articles are mainly trolling and butthurt. As for Moviebob, I never watched the game overthinker anyway, prefer his opinions on movies, so I didn't really care about that article.

Fuckin' Sweet! A new Encyclopedia Dramatica!

Know what the funny thing is? Looking through this, some of the info on here and other sites feels a little accurate. It comes off as directly insulting, AND fact-worthy news. ED didn't have that sort of shit.

As a a writer on ae and 4channer I know that all the stuff we write and joke about isn't meant seriously, so stop being so complaining and laugh. Well... ae isn't totally joke, there's usually something true in the text, and I even find true things in this one about escapist but if you want to have something well-written with little douchebaggery go to Wikipedia.

You know you don't need to read ae if it bothers you, "in lulz we trust" and that's mostly everything on the site, lulz. And if you seriously got annoyed by that text, just read the text about my home country Serbia, I laughed at it even if everything in the text is mean bullshit, with a little truth.

The point with ae is to have "that kind" of humor that pisses people off but it isn't meant seriously or directly to someone, do you really think females would visit ae and 4chan if every exposure of their sex would result in "tits or GTFO" in a serious way? Do you think black people would visit those sites if they where serious about blacks stealing everything, just eating KFC and raping? And would the jews go... I'll just jump over that one. but the point is, don't get mad, laugh and you win over the trolls!

And I really hope I've not insulted anyone with this comment, I have a bad feeling about this but I post it anyway.

Also, the fuck happen to ae? It was up yesterday! D:<

We are the opposite of 4chan really which to me is like the opposite between god and the devil really... except the sites actually exists heyyy ohhh!. No just kidding that last joke was mean but by my god reference I mean this, yes we know the Devil is bad and that is 4chan and we are God. Yet it is safe to say that god has made people do some fucked up things and isn't short of killing almost all of the world or making a dad kill his son and then say just kidding. This sight is big on a few things that I have bitched and whined about for a while now and its this: Their stance on Evolution and how most of the population here thinks your a total fuck up if you don't think Evolution was how we came about, their stupid obsession with being the biggest grammar Nazi's ever, and how glued everyone is to ZP and maybe this last one is just me but I see alot of people using the same grammar as he uses but maybe this is just me. Now the reason I pointed that out is because we take fire for those reasons. Its just best to ignore it and move on because despite the reasons mentioned above we still have a awesome community that is very civilized.

Look over this threat and try do it in Yatzees voice. . If you can I will truly be amazed because I am yet to see anything written here that I think he could have said.

Second, I think most people if given the choice would watch Extra Credits before ZP <_<. No offence.

Stay awhile and listen.

While I generally agree that the website is, in fact, sad and pathetic, I do take issue with the OP's assertion that it's contributors are ungrateful, because it asserts that those being lampooned (a word I am using very liberally in this case) descended from on high to spread enlightenment and bring the gift of their opinions to the filthy unwashed masses. While negative, the articles in question don't seem to have any hint of ingratitude. Just fat teenagers who probably own Haruhi body pillows (incredibly well used body pillows at that) venting their frustrations at living in a world that would be better off if they never had been allowed to exist. Which is a large portion of the internet, one has to admit.

 

[Doctor Glocktor]

People don't like the self-righteous pretentiousness that's so common to the Escapist?

Say it ain't so!

 

[Canadamus Prime]

The title's a bit of a joke, because I never had any faith in the internet

Oh good, because if it wasn't I'd have to laugh at you hysterically.
The Internet is, above all things, a huge collection of the worst that humanity has to offer all gathered together into one gigantic mass like a great big festering wound overflowing with puss. No matter how bad something that you find on here is, there's always something worse. Guaranteed.

 

[Xaio30]

It's just the normal trolling about autism, retardation, etc.
It's pretty much the same as Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Move along people.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

Completely untrue. I have said retarded plently of times.
I've actually said plently of stupid things as I am on the brink of probation. But whahey, I'll be good.

And I don't know about everyone else but I come to the Escapist first for news about, well, games and such. Zero Punctuation is just a bonus. And I stay for forums, they are fun.
XD

Edit: and its really funny because I would've never seen these if it wasn't for the escapist. Ha

Snip

Finally someone actually speaking in defense of 4chan. Bugs me that people have such a raging Hate-on for that site.

Say it ain't so!

I know! Our pretensiousness is what makes us lovable, right? ...right?

 

[maturin]

Have faith in the internet. The creator of the Goblins webcomic just got $30,000 in small donations over a period of several days, because his house was foreclosed on. And this all happened before he completed even a single panel of the fundraising strip.

Finally somebody supporting me! Of course I defend both 4chan and ae, I rather spend a say on'em gaining a lot of lulz than on any other site.
