Title: Anyone able to edit the online encyclopedia dramatica?
Post by: Seko on July 12, 2010, 07:29:49 PM
So today i was looking around the forum and discovered furaffinity, however when i went to go onto the site i noticed the page explaining the website. Inside this page was some god awful stuff, and i mean like really really really hurtful angry stuff....

the guy even said furries caused 9/11....and that we support hitler....and loads more stuff..... :'(

Having shown CoCo the webpage via msn we agreed we had to at least try to find someone who could change the information so that it wasnt so biased and hurtful....

Also me and Coco have both seen the webpage and it has really dented our view of the fandom....

...and to add insult to injury the guy put porn onto the page (hypocrite) so that anyone reading it has to wade through profane images which further aim to insult the fandom....

if you have any control over the webpage me and CoCo urge you to change it.... :'( :'(

That's what encyclopedia dramatica does. Insult people. It's basically an entire wiki written by trolls.

well i suppose nothing more can be done then, however, zephyr with your permission may i create a thread in the help ad suggestions thread to warn others of the encyclopedia dramatica's biased views and often profane nature?

either way, thanks for the insightful comment zephyr.

I'd prefer you didn't. Telling people not to look at something is only more likely to make them look at it.

I heard a lot about furries, reading ED but just saw it as written by trolls, met some furries and got talking and found what it's really about. So I found out for myself what this is about and looked past the images people slap on, if people can't look past an image people put on a subculture then that's their loss.

Besides, what do you think would happen? they'd write up another page of course

Then can you really call yourself a fur?
Sorry if it sounds a bit harsh, but the way I see it, nothing anyone says should make you feel any diffrent about the things you love.

Like with video games. If someone picks at you calling you a nerd for playing them, does it make you not like them as much?

furrys caused 9/11 - i recall it being Israeli nationalists or something

we support hitler - not all furrys are the same, some do, some dont

if anyone can edit it, how much of it is believable?

ED isn't meant to be taken seriously, the trolls writing these articles hate...well, everyone.

They say because they have different view of Furry meme. that is one web not liking. Very many people do like furry's and will. I dont see how people make fun of with porn. Thats what some people look at. Not all. Its Profiling really.
please change. Its demoralizing
I sad now. :{{

So basically; The Encyclopedia Dramatica mostly contains biased opinions from trolls and bizarre conspiracy theories based around the group of people they dislike...

What really gets to me is the person whom has written such offensive and hurtful comments has actually allocated an amount of their time into doing so (i guess this because the web page has 5 or more paragraphs of insults)

...i suppose in the end it dwindles down to the fact that,quite frankly, we are who we are and regardless of the harsh criticism and insults said by others the only persons opinion that actually matters is our own.

more likely they were once Furry material. Must got mad about something that happened on forums. So then decided write hurtful things since of getting anger. hopefully they get over and delete.

Actually im pretty sure CoCo asked leo to delete the article, but i see what you mean, whoever wrote that must have put at least a little bit of research into it, that or perhaps the above is totally correct and it was just written out of blind hatred....

although i have seen the page and object to its content it shouldn't affect peoples opinion on the fandom because there are different sub-fandoms in the furry community and its thier choice to be what we think is derranged so what it may be is that they hae seen the perverted side of the fandom instead of the more sensible side. and yes sadly some furrys do suport the nazis but then again thats thier veiw not the fandoms.

Yes, there are sub-groups to the forum which perhaps have members who for the most part would be considered perverted by other individuals, however tolerance is needed and taking the defensive can be worse at a time like this.

e.g. the trolls will begin to claim we are in denial etc etc.

I LOVE ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA!

The place is hilarious! You can't change it, it would completely defeat it's purpose. You might as well get rid of the entire site if you got an issue with one of the pages. Yeah, I read the article on the fandom but it didn't phase me one bit. Who in the right mind actually takes that place seriously? Their article for WWII had me laughing for the next week. The whole place is a joke, Sekoshi. There isn't a single article written accurately in the whole database. It's meant to leave people laughing and offended...and I see it's done its job.

Don't mind it dude.

i think the point is with furries it went too far this time just because your not offended does not mean its right
Title: Re: Anyone able to edit the online encyclopedia dramatica?
Post by: Armalite_ on July 13, 2010, 08:16:12 PM
They take everything too far. The holocaust, chinese people, everything! Don't even look at what they say about black people. You can't police the internet. To try is futile.

Nothing there is right and that's the whole point.

your obviously not getting it... ED is supposed to be insulting however the furry one is way too far end of

Insulting is insulting. I dont think you understand what I'm telling you. Ok, they're furry nazis. You've established that. Now what?

All I'm saying is, there's nothing you can do about it because it's the internet.

Seko i think this thread has turned in to a fight, i will check on Leo's progress, see what he has done
