Encyclopedia Dramatica is a wiki for trolls. Much like Wikipedia archives reality and history, Encyclopedia Dramatica archives the drama that trolls create. Here is their description of themselves: Encyclopedia Dramatica was created on December 9th, 2004, while girlvinyl was impatiently awaiting the delivery of her ibook.
ghettofinger and girlvinyl were outraged and amused by the ill-treatment of internet celebrity jameth by the moderators and idiots at Wikipedia, and girlvinyl decided it was time to present an alternative to the fascist hold they had over information on the internets. The site's title was coined by 33mhz on jameth's journal. On the inaugural install and first operational night of ED, scarlet and jeremyjx were added as moderators, with others following.
Once the site was posted on LNN, its audience and content grew exponentially. Like all websites with user-generated content, ED quickly degenerated into a forum for unfunny revenge attempts by butthurt individuals of every description -- bigots, banned website users, trolling victims, failed trolls, and virgins rejected by hot girls. 99.9% of all ED articles are tl;dr ravings about things the person dislikes, or unknown and uninteresting LiveJournal or deviantART users who made someone mad by existing.
The other .1% are archives of dead YouTube embeds. All users are welcomed to create and modify content to more accurately reflect the internets and help archive the never ending supply of e-drama. Please continue to add articles so that the encyclopedia will provide answers to questions like "What the hell is mediacrat?" and "Where are the lulz? "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. Remember when reading ED, it is created to offend.
