How to Actually Take Down Encyclopedia Dramatica

(Note to future scholars: This was an attempt to manipulate people into figuring out a way of taking down Encyclopedia Dramatica before DeGrippo went all Judas on it and made me realize I actually have standards. The new ED is alright in my book until they do something to provoke me!)

As you might have seen in my last entry, I had this super special update on how all those gosh darn trolls over at Encyclopedia Dramatica are really a bunch of fucking losers who, in addition to being unfunny hypocrites who think themselves as defenders of free speech or some bullshit like that, will cave if you use the law, of all things, against them. Guess what I'm gonna talk about? :3

Now first, let's take a look at the real Encyclopedia Dramatica. Let's strip it of all the disgusting shock shit that isn't shocking anymore, of all the tire memes that were never funny, of all the slurs just random festooned about in a poor man's attempt to seem edgy, and take a look at what they have to say about themselves:

Legal disclaimer, thinking that saying "nigger", "Jew", and "fag" over 9,000 times is parody and/or satire (Pro-tip: It's not.). Just ass-covering, not lulz. (Pay special attention to that "Correspondence with Encyclopediadramatica.com" bullshit, though. You'll see why later on.)

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Joseph_Evers

"Joseph Evers believes in freedom of information for all eternity."

Kinda wonder how true that's gonna be after this. Also, no lulz.

"Is ED racist/homophobic?
No it is not. While there is a lot of material on ED that many find upsetting, the admins come from a variety of backgrounds, races and sexualities. These people all understand satire and lulz, even when the minority group they are a part of is targeted, they know it was not a serious attack on them.

If you are part of a minority group and are offended by ED take note from PCBIZNUSS in the below video and try to understand we stand for free speech however threatened you may feel by that. After all, without free speech, no minority group would have ever received rights to begin with."


More excuses and a lack of understanding of what "satire" is. Again. So not lulz.

"What's with the æ ?
The proper spelling (SERIOUS BUSINESS! -Tabs) of Encyclopædia Dramatica includes the little æ; however, those characters are not allowed to be registered in domain names, so we used the mundane spelling. Feel free to use alt+145, alt+0230, or alt+z (option+' on OS X) if you'd like to experience it. As æ is confusing and mysterious like ED itself, it became the mascot for the site. æ is also a normal character in the Danish, French, and Norwegian alphabets."

Is this lulz? No, it's not. Not now, not ever.

And there's your so-called "messiah", angry kids of the internet. It's not "cool", it's not "hip". They say a bunch of shit, make fun of losers and crybabies, but think they're above all that. They are, in reality, no different than the losers and crybabies they make fun of. They think they are somehow special and their precious little asses shouldn't be mocked and laughed at. Ladies and gentlemen, I do not like that. No, I do not. I do not like that, Sam I Am.

Now for some real lulz.

You've heard of this "DMCA" thing, right? That's the "Digital Millennium Copyright Act". Basically, copyright law for the internet. And what is copyrightable? Everything you say and do forever. There are exceptions, of course, but that's the gist of it. So technically, if you really wanted to be anal retentive, you could have shit legally taken down if it used anything you made yourself. Fun abusing the law, ain't it?

Now, I'll just put this here:

Oh...wait a minute...see what they did there? Not only are they giving into the DMCA crap, but they're being passive-aggressive crybabies and posting personal information when the other crybabies refuse to be their bitch. They're posting people's personal information because some drama queen motherfucker refuse to take their shit, and are basically encouraging people to go beyond just making fun of their melodramatic antics and harass them in real life. Just because they couldn't get their way. Call me Mr. Morality, but that shit if fucked up. And just to be perfectly honest, I'm a petty, violent, vindictive, egotistical son of a bitch who's basically done this exact same shit before (not that different, you and I), but at least it was personal for me. I never tried to ruin and/or terminate someone's life by proxy just because they were whiny little bitches who DMCA'ed me (which has happened to me a few times on YouTube, by the way). I just posted nude photos of them and spread malicious rumors, like any other decent person would.

Is this shit legal? Unfortuantely, it technically is. Yeah, gay marriage and free healthcare? That shit will ruin our society! Posting personal information so people can harass, stalk, rape, murder, etc. that bitch on LiveJournal who fought back when you made fun of her? That shit is as American as apple pie and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! U-S-A, you darkie socialist Muslim motherfuckers!

So...yeah, the title...kinda seems like a big, fat lie now, doesn't it? Well, I'm gonna walk away and take a nap now. If anyone posts personal information on Joseph Evers whoever the hell runs things there in the comments section...well, hey, that shit's legal, so what am I gonna do?

Other than lulz, I mean.
