Yes. You have probably read this.

However, this is for those who havn't seen it.

I've made it a rule to not touch ED with a twenty foot pole, so someone going to have to tell me if it's serious or just another pile of insults and gay porn like every other article on ED.

I ran across it the other day.  It's about the only article on the site that isn't full of insults, which tells me it was probably someone on this forum who wrote it.  All the other big forums with DF crowds call this place a bunch of sycophants (which is true of course), and there's no mention of such.

A common complaint amongst newbies to the game is the Ascii graphics. And cries of "why cant it have "real" graphics"? are often heard. The simple answer is that the game process a huge amount of data just keeping track of all the shit in the game, from the smallest fish to the biggest Rape monsters. Just because something may not be onscreen (infact it could be on the oppisite side of the planet or hundreds of miles beneath the eart) the game is still keep track of it. If the graphics got any better you would need some theoretical super computer from the future to play it. Even with a graphics mod running it only gets as good as some early NES graphics. In closing, FUCK YOUR GRAPHICS.
I laughed.

I think another common trait is that we all have neckbeards.

It's actually not very insulting at all, for an ED article.

My larynx is covered in stubble and it's getting thicker by the moment.  I might go shave too.

I can barely grow a beard in the first place, so no neckbeard for me.

The way the article is written makes it look like it was not done at all by a 4channer or ED guy.

Also the only time 4chan seems to talk about encyclopediadramatica is when it's about how terrible it is and why they hate it.

Which, considering the former's reputation, says something about the latter.


Also while I have a beard, I wouldn't say it's touching my neck at all.
