Is that a royal we? Because you're not speaking for anyone but yourself.

Also, leave HugBox alone. He's not a troll. Advocating legal action, censorship or whatnot just because you're offended by a website's humor is plain stupid, and the people who do it deserve being called on it.

Jeeze, no one takes Encyclopedia Dramatica to be an authoritative source on anything, except maybe Encyclopedia Dramatica. Bad humor isn't a crime.

well, EvilZakkie, the moderator? i remember when he joined, he was very immature, and look at him now! you wouldnt believe its the same person!


I feel that I have to defend myself a little here - I believe these are the threads Pika's referring to:

http://www.aspiesforfreedom.com/showthre...#pid129902
http://www.aspiesforfreedom.com/showthre...#pid128787

I still stand by the things I said back then, and I guess everyone else will just have to draw their own conclusions about whether or not they were "immature".

Personally, I don't think I've changed much at all.


Maybe just your socks? hopefully ( reeeelly bad joke alert)
I think EvilZakkie is the same 5 star person now that he was when he first joined ( reeeelly cheezy compliment alert)
In any case, no need to defend yourself at all...

I agree with Simen that AS is not a disease, but I think bad humor is almost criminal Smile

To be perfectly honest, I enjoyed the ED article on Asperger's, it's not really making fun of those with Asperger's per se, instead it's really making fun of the stereotypical ways that aspies tend to behave on the web.  I knew throughout the whole time that I was reading it that it was nothing more than a parody, so I never really got offended.

Rather than talking about hacking that site, why not write an article of the same style on there about NTs or Autism Speaks, I've been giving that second one a lot of consideration.

I think there have to be rules - people shouldn't just be able to say anything they like and then use 'it's a joke' as their defence.

Would they say the same things about someone of a different ethnicity or religion or someone who was a wheelchair user? And even if they did, many would be enraged by this.

I think we have just as much right to respect as ethnic minorities etc. and therefore action against articles like this needs to be taken.

Perhaps you could find out which country hosts the website and email the relevant department of their police?


"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

-First ammendment of the US constitution, which also happens to be the country where that site is hosted from, so the police legally can't do anything about it.

in contrary to my last comment I was thinking of posting some of their comments about the petition on my blog to relfect their stupidity even more (if that is possible)


Do it man, don't take any crap from these people, they don't know what it's like to be different.

One thing Flar, take this from Aspie to Aspie, it is sometimes easy to forget that just because people like you and me may from time to time have a hard time seeing the humor in something, or the sarcasm, or any hidden part of social interaction, that doesn't mean that ALL NTs have the "perfect" minds.  We're all human, you, me, the editors at ED, we all have the desire to say what's on our minds, vent, and sometimes make humor at someone else's expense (anyone who denies this last one ever happening in their lifetime is a liar, and everybody knows it).  NTs need to vent their frustration too, and when someone says something that really annoys them and then says "well you can't get mad at me, I have Asperger's", that just annoys them more.

Read the disclaimer on the ED site, it clearly states that everything on the site is for nothing more than comical value, and that many of the articles have been written by the people who they are making fun of.  That's right, there's a good chance that this article was actually written by someone with Asperger's as a way of venting their emotions about what they don't like about themselves, or how aspies are looked at in general.  As far as I'm aware, there's no law that says you can't make fun of yourself, I do it all the time, I tell my friends that I have *** Burgers, why? it's funny to us.  Seriously, you can't have a disorder that sounds so much like *** Burgers and not see even the least bit of humor in that.

Also keep in mind that NTs don't often understand how our brains work, they may not understand that some people don't get jokes as well as they do.  I myself often forget that not everybody has Asperger's.  When someone can't figure out why their computer isn't working and it's because it's not plugged in, I find it absurd that someone could be so ignorant of what is blatantly obvious, then eventually I realize that it's only blatantly obvious to ME because that's how MY brain works.
All I'm saying is that in any scenario, there may be more motives to what you see than what would appear at first.  

Personally, I liked the article a lot, but then again I got all the jokes, I often laugh at myself, and I don't take insults which were intended for comedic value to heart.  Keeping in mind that it was intended to be a joke throughout the entire time I was reading the article, I honestly was not at all offended by what it said, in fact, I was laughing the whole time.

If you don't like what the article says, or other articles on that site (have any of you even looked at any of the other articles to see if maybe there's one you like?), then don't go to the site, but trying to get it shut down basically says that you feel that not offending YOU is more important than other people having fun in their own ways.  It's saying that if they are annoyed at the way you act, that they have no right to say so, but if you don't like their actions, blasting them to hell is perfectly acceptable because you have Asperger's and they don't.

I fully understand that many of you will not agree with the opinions I stated here, and it's your right to disagree with me, and to say so.  Although I do have an official diagnoses of Asperger's Syndrome, from a fairly well known neurologist, I have been banned from multiple Asperger's based groups for my opinions, like that Aspies SHOULD NOT be exempt from the same insults, judgements, or jokes that everybody else is subjected to, not just from ED, but from everybody.

If you say to an NT who is making fun of you for Asperger's that they shouldn't be because you have Asperger's, that tells them that you don't have a sense of humor and take everything literally.  Now I fully understand that taking most things literally is kind of what we do, it's not what most NTs do, so assuming that a joke is intended as a direct insult basically says to the NTs that you have no sense of humor, which is something that most NTs do not respect, and will probably entice them to continue trying to see how far they can get with you.

Rather than taking it all as a direct insult, try to consider that there may be a different motive to it.  My suggestion would be to re-read the article, but rather than reading it while thinking of it as an NT trying to piss you off, try reading it but think of it as a fellow Aspie trying to get some humor out of their own life and that of others, you might even find it funny.
My god stop bring the ED jack offs in here...I don't need my IQ to drop lower.

Speaking of Lulz

Where is the lulz? There is no lulz here?

The best strategy is just to become untrollable and ignore them. If you do not, you will lose. Just look at what happened to people like Snapesnogger.


O DEAR GODS NO!! D:

No please why did you mention Snapesnogger? WRRRRRRRY!?

Damn. Well I will try not to make this too TL;DR for you guys. Heres the "short" version

Snapesnogger http://www.snapesnogger.deviantart.com/ and her new accounts http://owlgem.deviantart.com/

is a art *** for DA, she has huge as fan base and almost every Harry Potter fantwat and anime fanidiots licks her clit
<***Link Deleted - Zakkie***>
Despite it's harshness and cruelity as some would call it. The artical is pretty damn acurate. She's nothing more the self-asorbed, over indulgent, attention ***. She petty and arrogant she thinks she top *** and will gladly piss off anyone to say that she is made of win and awesome which she isn't.

Hence why ED knocked her off her pedastol.

Now I am netural with ED, I like there articals and I think to be **** hilarious. I just don't want to pick a fight with them and I ask people to seriously leave them the *** alone they will *** your ***, ten-ways from Sunday. Don't attention ***, don't pissed them off. Just do you thing and mostly they will lulz at use from a far.

Again I don't give two shits about ED, and I rather everyone else just ignore them. So far they haven't came back and spam-*** the community so can we lock and trash this Mmmkay
