[QUOTE=Mingebox;20805293]No, Satire would be showing the flaws in a racists' thinking with some exaggerated mimicry . ED is just some people who thought it would be funny if they said something offensive.[/QUOTE]
The whole racist articles show the blatant flaws in racists, [B][I]by being blatantly racist[/I][/B]
Any intelligent person would see that
Any idiot would react to it, or take it as truth and have arguments with other idiots about the articles.
[QUOTE=Fedalkyn;20804671]How then? Or are you just being prudish?
Hop on the righteous bandwagon blindly why don't you? You might win a prize![/QUOTE]
you don't have to be a prude to think ED isn't funny.
It's not clever. There's no wit.

So I can satirize racists simply by spouting racial slurs? Wow, satire sure is easy! I used to assume that satire had to have some element of actual criticism or cleverness to it. But now I know I can satirize something by simply by duplicating it exactly. Thank you ED! Thank you!
It's just a shitty website that tries to offend people in the most basic ways and chronicles people like chris-chan in the creepiest, most obsessive way possible.
[QUOTE=James*;20805242]no, it's just trying to be as offensive as possible
it's not a bad thing, but it's not satire
there definitely is aspects of satire on ED but I can't find any in that article

Just because something isn't designed to be taken seriously it doesn't mean it's satire[/QUOTE]
Trying to be offensive as possible raises a point
The whole aboriginal article is satire, clearly.
Seriously, can you not [I]see[/I] the stupidity of someone subscribing to the crap written in that article? It's written in the style of a wiki article to further drill home that point.
The fact people go along believing that kind of crap is the joke it itself.
The fact that some people do believe that kind of crap is the social commentary
The fact that some people take it seriously is social commentary
The fact it has to be explained to people is serious social commentary

Being blatantly racist does not show the flaws in racism
It would show the flaws in racism if they did it with irony yet they don't
Any intelligent person would see that something isn't satire just because it's written to get a reaction from people

So if I were to call you a stupid cunt but followed it by telling you not to take me seriously would that be satire?
yeah it's pretty obvious fedalkyn hasn't read any real satire and is just using the word to try to add legitimacy to his shitty troll site. Like trolling has some sort of higher, noble purpose. He's making the world better, one goatse at a time!

yep that's literally what ED is. that's basically it. I know you're trying to make fun of me but that is ED in a nutshell

Fuck, just look at the article. They're fucking stupid
Look at how stupid the racist is?
It's a big dump of stupid racism. You don't want to catch yourself believing any of that crap because it's [I]stupid[/I].
Fuck, "To hold, as 't were, the mirror up to nature"
You're not seeing the whole picture, you're just taken in by the troll

It's total irony in itself. It's just about goes as far as to say 'HAY GUISE I'M IRONIC'
A big dump of stupid racism although designed not to be taken seriously or believed is still not satire

but the thing is is that relies upon a person being opposed to racism in the first place. If you can tell that that kind of racism is stupid, then you don't need the ED article to convince you. The point of satire is to bring about change. ED isn't going to change anyone.
No racist is going to look at that article and see the error in their ways because there's no element of criticism to it. It's just duplicating what racists already say.
It's terrible, not because it's offensive, but because it's simply terrible. It's a goddawful attempt at satire by internet nerds who have never read a scrap of real satire in their life.
People who actually are racist would probably find things in that article they agree with, that's not how satire works

I have nothing to do with the site. I have read plenty of satire. There is nothing noble about trolling.
It does make the world better, however. It challenges your views.
And he wasn't trying to make fun of you, he was trying to make fun of me

No it doesn't challenge anyone's views. A non racist sees it and says "yep that's what racists are like", and a racist reads it and says "I agree". There's no challenge to it.

The page is exactly as you describe. It's sad and pathetic. But it's not really a satire article.
It exists for me, because of you. And you seem mad.

oh, I see, you're trolling me. well tie me up and call me owned. how shall I ever recover?
Except not really; this is fun.
I'd be glad to recommend some proper satire if you ask politely.
You can tell what Fedalkyn perceives to be humour from the [i]hilarious[/i] comments he has written as social network links

"Facebook is like shitting on your dick and telling people you fucked yourself"
comedy gold!

it's sorta sad because he's not even going to get a response based on that, and he knows it. He knows he's never going to get an angry PM about "that mean thing you said about facebook" but he put it in there anyway. He's trolling alone, for himself and nobody else. It's like a dude singing "happy birthday" to himself at a totally empty birthday party. He trolls because trolling has replaced anything actually interesting in his life.

I got a response just now, as far as smug remarks go on my profile page.
By the way, what's with all the personal attacks? I thought we were having a discussion, not slinging mud. If this is an exercise in boosting your e-rection, count me out. Why didn't you just go ahead and insult my Mother, or my sexuality if you going to resort to juvenile taunts?
Do you think your little story counts for anything? It's no case against my arguments, it's just dumb insults.
I have a very interesting life, too, if you must pry. I'm a University student in a great city, I enjoy my subjects and I'm good at them. I'm not poor, I'm healthy, I'm a good cook. I'm good looking, have a fairly good build, I'm in a great and meaningful relationship with a wonderful girl. I'm also very good at sex, I have for all accounts a big penis too, and that kinda goes to my head a bit.
I'm happy, and I've got nothing to worry about.
I don't know when you became an authority on what I do in my spare time, but, I assure you, you're misinformed.
And if you want an extra tit-bit of info as to what I do in my spare time, I'm not much of a troll, if at all.

That's not a joke, that's what I think of Facebook, by-the-way.
You see, I really don't care for it
you still haven't named any of the satirists you've claimed to read
I don't get why you two tards are arguing. ED isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
A nice shitstorm we got brewing here.
Been a while since we had one of those. :munch:

You know are terrible at arguing when you resort to claiming to other party has [I]"No life!"[/I] Especially in the first few pages.
The article seems pretty tame compared to some of the shit on ED
Aw, so sad. Here, let me play you a song on the world's smallest didgeridoo.
