4chan, Anonymous, and the Horrors of the Interweb

[Assassin Xaero]

Honestly, I think all those losers should go die. And it reminds me of this for some reason:

When a person, by his reprehensible behavior, practically cries out to be destroyed, it is truly your moral obligation to indulge them their wish. The person who takes every opportunity to "pick on" others is often mistakenly called "sadistic". In reality, this person is a misdirected masochist who is working towards his own destruction. The reason a person viciously strikes out against you is because they are afraid of you or what you represent, or are resentful of your happiness. They are weak, insecure, and on extremely shaky ground when you throw your curse, and they make ideal human sacrifices.

Cookie for anyone who knows what book that's from...

The Satanic Bible. Good read.

Also, I'll take that cookie now.

Here you go!

Spoiler: Cookie!

Hey.....pardon my innocence but what/who is this Anonymous.Is Anonymous a group of 4chan people.Can some one please explain.

The first rule of anonymous is...old meme is old.

If you have to ask, you really don't want to know.

I think there may be quite a few anons wandering around here. But why would they mess with Escapist? It's not full of retards, and there's very few teenage girls clamoring for attention, so this site's pretty safe. Personally I would love to see the b-tards take down a huge target like Google, it would be like the Vandals sacking Rome. I always root for the anarchic underdog.

Just wandering, has anybody ever made it down to the bottom of the Offended page on ED? I just can't do it. This isn't a dare, either. I just want to hear from someone who's already been there. I want to know what's at the bottom.

A whole bunch of meatspin gifs, and the last picture is George W. Bush with a certificate that says you are now qualified to something-or-other.

I just looked at it, and I must say I'm rather disappointed. I was led to believe the page would haunt me to the end of my days, and possibly drive me insane. The only ones that grossed me out were the poo ones. The gore is really just an anatomy lesson, some were quite fascinating, like the car crash where the girl's head was neatly split in half. Some of the gore pictures riled my curiosity. How did that one guy get so flat? Did they ever catch the fucker that was molesting that autopsy girl? And yes, one or two were actually funny, like the soda can popping out of an asshole, or the crispy dude with an American flag planted in his butt.

The skinned dogs were probably the scariest thing on there. Resident Evil flashbacks ahoy!

OT: /b is like the monkey at the zoo that's constantly masturbating. Of course its pathetic, that's why it's so fucking funny! And if you're afraid of that, you're even funnier. Triple lulz if that particular monkey is doing it to threaten you.

I personally found the animal cruelty ones to be horribly sickening, and hated myself for looking at them, but the rest of it was as you said. And yes, I found the soda can funny as well

I'd already seen Zippocat, and it is really nauseating the first time you see it. The traincat, well, I'll just assume that it was a cat with shitty timing, or they put a dead cat on the tracks. I'd prefer not to think that whoever took that picture restrained it. I think there may be another that I'm intentionally blocking out.

 

[teutonicman]

AWWWW this thread miss-lead me, I thought it was going to be about telling your internet horror stories.

ditto but that might be a good thing that it didn't

Pffft! sissy, once you squat on the putrid river that is the internet for long enough nothing phases.......... maybe that's a bad thing. It certainly would explain a lot, hmmmmm.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

And when we combine our powers 4chan wouldn't dream coming to attack!

 

[The Singularity]

Lol alright I think this can REALLY sum up anon.

Rules 1 and 2.

Also, anyone who thinks Anonymous is an actual group is sorely misunderstanding the concept.

Just ask FOX news.

It's ok if they don't get it...provided they're willing to put it on TV for the lulz.

4Chan managed to bring down twitter before so Facebook or Google may be not as far away as some of you think.

 

[cieply]

Why would anon bring down the Escapist? I guess I am an anon since I go on 4chan, and I love this site. OP, you stereotype 4chan too much. Yes, /b/ can be bad, but the other boards are pretty good. I lurk on a lot of /a/ and /v/ threads.

Anon won't bring down the escapist as majority of us are also part of 4chan. Besides The Escapist is a friendly site about games and such that keeps it cool and doesn't have it's head stuck up it's ass. It's a very bad target for trolling.
