To anyone who has ever felt weird about their fetish

[Magician1]

Yes it is somewhat odd and strange that this man has somehow found a taste for something so freakishly wierd as he has however allow me to demonstrate something.

The man is blatantly (and I shall be kind here) a little shall we say "slow" and he does not have the mental ability to understand that what he is doing is freakishly repugnant or wrong in the eyes of other people. You say Headsnap that you are not harming him in anyway but I can tell you now that "humiliation" is a far, far more powerful weapon than physical pain. Yes I can see the point of the mockery and yes it is mildly amusing however I do not think that the man had to be so destroyed. It is blatantly obvious that he is somewhat backward and lets face it normal, everyday, average Joes have difficulty dealing with humiliation, so how do you think it would affect someone like this?

For a start the guy put in his little rant to the senator that he thought he was going to be hunted down for what he had done. Obviously you or I can see this is not going to happen so it is proof that by berating this poor creature you are all actually doing more than merely "harming" him you are destroying him.

Overall part of the article did amuse me to a degree but at the same time it made me feel very uncomfortable and a little sorry for this deeply damaged creature.

This is true with children, too; the pain of a spanking is quickly absorbed, but the humiliation of a punishment, physical or not, lasts longer and is the whole point of doing it. If social rejection weren't more damaging than physical pain, there would be no such thing as a hazing ritual.
Healthy people don't get off on anthropomorphic diaper-pissing, but they also don't spend their free time harassing people who do.
While I feel sorry for the guy, I'm not trying to get anyone else to; just to realize that a preoccupation with freak-bating is itself kind of creepy.

Yes and adding to that I snouted around that website and I have to say that most of the humour is in poor taste. There is a page about a little boy who committed suicide because he was bullied at school and lost his iPOD and while the idea of "someone killing themselves over losing an iPOD" may be funny on paper, in the real world it most certainly is not and is obviously down to more than him simply losing his iPOD.

I think I shall stick with Monty Python and leave senseless, distasteful, drivel like this to the brain dead morons who leech off of it.

Mitchell is an hero in my book.

Honestly, I think that websites like ED are indespensible. So many criticize it, but I think that it acts as a mirror to show us just how screwed up we've become as a macro-level society and even as a species. Instead of calling into question the type of world where a child would ever think of suicide over something as ridiculous as losing a material object (expensive iPod or otherwise), we instead attack ED for its so-called "tasteless" humor, most likely because it's a safe target. We allow tastelessness to trump senselessness because it's so much smaller and easier to tackle. Tastelessness is easy to remove...it's much harder to change a senseless world. Makes it unfamiliar to us.

As for the humor, I tend to think of ED as wolves "culling the herd." Nothing vicious about that.

Freud went out of style ages ago.

PROTIP: Sexual deviants (not a bad label, necessarily) of all kinds have always fascinated me. That's probably why I'm here with you guys...I can watch how you work, your thought processes, what makes you tick and STILL keep my dinner at the end of the day. As fetishes go, yours happens to be on the lighter end. It's almost...cute. Quaint. Only devilish in an innocent sort of way.

I probably wouldn't love my girlfriend as much as I do if she weren't like you guys and had some of my darker tastes...

But enough talk. Have at you!

That is something my friend would say.

Tasteless humour is senseless humour. If you think that the child killed himself over an iPOD then you are just as mentally backward as the people who constructed the web site.

Oh and of course ringing the childs family and harrassing them is "funny" isn't it? Excuse my stupidity for I completely forgot that making a joke out of a tragedy and laughing at dead children is perfectly sensible? Do you not take into account the childs family and friends? Allow me to ask you something Mister sense of humour. Have you ever lost someone dear to you, someone you deeply cared about. Someone who was a friend, a lover,
or a relative? If you have lost someone and you still find laughing at a tragedy funny then I truly pity the worthless and vile creature that you are.

Brilliant responce.... A friend of mine died about 2 years ago now, and recently someone i knew joked about the way they died and i could have demolished them but i didnt because i know that my dead friend wouldnt like that. To laugh at another persons tragedy is cruel and when a situation like that happens to them, they would not laugh and wouldnt like people laughing about it.

That's actually my point...he killed himself due to a deep problem in our society (not the least of which is a parent's heavy-handed response to something as trivial as losing an iPod--a material possession that has only monetary value and little else), but why pay attention to that and enact any sort of social change on the family level when we can wag our fingers at a website that points out the ugly underbelly of humanity? Damn you, ED, for providing me with biting satire that makes me see that the world isn't all puppies and hugs but is, instead, a place with problems that need to be fixed.

Kids who are so psychologically messed up that they can kill themselves over the loss of a iPod (acting as a trigger for a "bad day") need help, plain and simple...and help was something Mitchell obviously didn't get. How that is the fault of Encyclopedia Dramtica, I'll never understand. As for the sadistic folks on there, they're obviously in the minority and are products of the chaos in our world, not the cause of it.

You're excused. Don't forget it for next time.

Do you not take into account the childs family and friends?

The family that left the gun out, the family that probably saw his psychological malady and did nothing to help him, or the family that helped add to his "bad day" once he got home? The friends at his school who pressured him into his materialistic lifestyle and entangled him in their vicious social web? Those friends and family? Oh yes, I've taken them into account and, in doing so, have come up with bigger problems than you people make ED out to be.

Allow me to ask you something Mister sense of humour. Have you ever lost someone dear to you someone you deeply cared about. Someone who was a friend, a lover, or a relative?

I believe it was Shakespeare who introduced the idea of relative comedy; that is, one man's tragedy is the source of another man's comedy (case in point: the character of Malvolio or, for the unfamiliar, the Three Stooges). You present the double-standard argument as if it makes some sort of final point. You also assume that people actually care about having such double-standards, and not everyone does. Some people might be very comfortable laughing at something that they would never want done to them (much like the Stooges eye-poke on a micro-level).

I personally laugh at not the tragedy of Mitchell, but the absurdity of a society where an iPod can act as a trigger for suicide in a young person. ED does the same, for the most part, and if you'll notice, a great deal of "lulz" comes from the phrase "an hero" and NOT Mitchell's untimely demise. Also, if you'll notice, that seems to be the only suicide that ED has covered. Why? Because it's so reflective of our messed up world...and that, Magician, is the REAL tragedy.

PROTIP: If you hate this place, you'll REALLY hate eBaum's World.

 

[Magician1]

Actually I believe you will find that what Shakespere used was a character and not a real person to demonstrate his humour. Laughing at something that is not real affects no one, laughing at reality affects the people involved.

Granted the world is full of problems and granted it is these things that cause people like Mitchell to suffer. Therefore is it not our duty to learn from the tragedy rather than laugh at it?

I shall leave you to laugh at the expense of others on pointless web sites crafted by morons for morons. I personally shall devote my time to more constructive things.

Is laughter not a good way to get through to people? Big money advertising firms seem to think it is. That's why we see so many humorous commercials. The Daily Show also seems to think that humor is quite powerful...it uses humor to attack the policies of the president of the United States and is very persuasive and successful in this regard. You must hate comedians like Steven Colbert and shows like South Park. They poke fun at real-life tragedies and bad things all the time because sometimes that's the only way to get people to notice issues. Without ED, would you have known about Mitchell and his situation? I doubt it. He would just be an old news article that everyone would forget about, save his immediate family.

Satiring and making fun of real-life things is one way to change them for the better. The comedy comes in the form of the farce that we call human society. It's a real shame that you remain ignorant of that. Mitchell got it, and that's why he became an hero. Maybe one day you will follow in his courageous footsteps.

I'd hardly call "scratching one's balls" constructive, but, hey, it's better than watching pokemon urinate in diapers, isn't it? LOL, what a freak, amirite guys?

With that, I'll leave you to your laughless half-hours of "Dharma & Greg."

And with that comment you quite generously proved my point. Thanks for that. =)

It's pretty obvious to me that you have no sense of humor and believe that the internet is serious fucking business, so I've resigned myself to the knowledge that any argument I throw at you will be woefully futile as you won't get it anyway (for more, see the virginity thread in which I AGREED WITH YOU using SARCASM and SUBTLETY).

 

[Magician1]

The internet is hardly serious business and sarcasm is the lowest form of humour so I tend not to waste my time with it. However I do acknowledge and accept some of your points regarding the humour. Granted the Kniffy thing in itself despite being rather harsh is also rather funny. However I fail to see the humour in the subject on Mitchell. As to your other points as a matter of fact I do watch and enjoy south park and other such shows but these shows do not push the boundries as far as that particular subject did.

I acknowledge your other points however Midnight Circus and I may have been somewhat harsh in the other thread but I still cannot agree on the Mitchell page being at all funny.

 

[GaryGoafer]

Serious business indeed.

Heck, I'm just speaking for myself here, but if I were to die tomorrow, I'd rather I were made into an internet celebrity that people can laugh and have a good time about. Its better than just being forgotten on a Myspace page with a badly written poem.

 

[Headsnap]

In other words, he is very turned on by something not related to reproductive sex, like you.

Unlike me he is turned on by defacation and urination into nappies by anthromorphic cartoon characters depicted as being underage and indeed prepubescent, even infantile. But who needs specifics when you have a point to prove? 😀

 

[Midnight Circus]

I disagree with that. Some of the greatest minds in the world (not the least of which would be William Faulkner and Jonathan Swift) used sarcasm to great effect.

However I fail to see the humour in the subject on Mitchell. As to your other points as a matter of fact I do watch and enjoy south park and other such shows but these shows do not push the boundries as far as that particular subject did.

While I agree that they are rather tame by comparison, I would speculate that that's only because censorship is present. There's no telling how far they would go if there were no censors to worry about.

Fair enough. It's not for everyone.

Oh the insults, I think I might cry. If your ego isn't big enough and you're not mentally stable/ strong enough to survive an assault from Teh Internets you have no business being online and should perhaps consider becoming an hero. Free speech means that I am allowed to make websites which mock your pain if you choose to parade that pain in public (especially if I feel you are exagerrating that pain to somehow make yourself feel like you have a "cause" or something).

 

[Magician1]

Headsnap, I have a life which is why I rarely post anything on the internet in the first place. Your life appears to be this, and you are most welcome to it.

I bid you adieu I think I have wasted my time trying to enlighten this peon only to be met by the only thing his type understands, shit flinging. I my good sir shall bid my leave clean of the excrement that stains your slacked and primitive maw for I do not partake in such undesirable activities.

Give me a call TT when you decide to bring back the sensible members that I remember... and leave the trash in the gutter where it belongs.

Good grief, what got into you? =/ 'Tis but a simple site is all he posted. Some might find it funny, others might not. And that's perfectly fine, people are entitled to their own opinion. But making a post like that seems a bit unneccessary if you ask me. Unless i'm missing something and there has been conflict between you and him which I don't know about. In any case, the situation's done, you've left so there's no need to fan the flames and I shouldn't bother to get involved in this. Which makes no sense because if that was the case, I shouldn't have responded to this post in the first place. Wow, i'm a dumbass. =(

I lol'd at the site. Screw tickling, pokemon in diapers makes me hawny. <3

Edit: Wait, I never actually looked into this site. This site is intended to be a joke, right? Or is all this content serious as well as the fetish and the problems "Knuffy" has? I apologize, but i'm starting to get confused here between the line on whether this is supposed to be some fictional, random web page intending to be funny or if this is serious stuff.

 

[Umojar]

Far as I know, knuffy's very much real. The people on that site are poking fun at him.

lol@ "Leaving TTC forevar!" Don't forget to delete all your posts as the ultimate sign of sequestration!

I would make the point that, since internetting is such a small part of your life, it might be relatively easy to just ignore posts like this however since you have exploded yourself for great justice it seems a bit redundant :S

Nevar forget the martyrs 🙁

I'm socially adjusted and my fetish doesn't consist of various morally reprehensible and physically disgusting paraphilias rolled into one horrifying ball of sheer hell (bestiality, paedophilia, scat/ watersports, etc etc etc).

I hope you can see how he and I differ. The house is plexiglass.

Fair enough. I'm definitely not trying to moralize, btw. But, just as knuffy's paraphilia can't really be blamed on him, your level of intelligence and lack of severely damaging childhood experiences can't really be credited to your character.
Both fetishes are a bit on the creepy side, any way you look at it.
