Encyclopedia Dramatica(或簡稱為ED)是一個以戲仿惡搞為主題的基於MediaWiki的網站,於2004年12月10日上線。網站的內容以模仿諷刺百科話題和熱點事件為主,尤其是與現代網絡文化相關的事件。網站推崇具有破壞性的「釣魚文化」,並且記錄網絡迷因、文化和事件,如惡毒的惡作劇,網絡霸凌、反對網際網路自我審查以及網際網路安全漏洞等。

2011年4月14日,網站的原網址被重定向到了一個叫做「Oh Internet」的網站,而這個網站和Encyclopedia Dramatica幾乎沒有相似之處,這一現象在Encyclopedia Dramatica的編輯者社群里引起了不小的轟動。當天晚上,「Oh Internet」的Facebook主頁上到處都充斥著Encyclopedia Dramatica的瀏覽者的仇恨言論[3],Web Ecology Project不得不為Encyclopedia Dramatica製作了一份可下載的網站備份[4][5],在Encyclopedia Dramatica啟用現在的域名前,有無數的粉絲為其製作了Torrent種子和鏡像網站。
網站歷史
編輯起源
編輯Encyclopedia Dramatica在2004年由網名為「Girlvinyl」的網友「Sherrod DeGrippo」建立,Sherrod DeGrippo於2000年找到了LiveJournal社區,並且很快就成為了社區內其他成員的楷模。[來源請求]對於建立Encyclopedia Dramatica的原因,她解釋說:
“ | 人與人之間有相互吸引的潛力,而且是雙向的,偷窺狂和暴露狂可以用一種正常的方式互動,這就是我為什麼建立ED,因為這實在是太瘋狂太迷人了 | ” |
她加入了LiveJournal上的一個八卦社區,在社區被LiveJournal封禁之後,社區內的成員建立了自己的網站。2002年,原LiveJournal的兩名用戶Joshua Williams和Andrewpants開始密切協作互助對方,但兩人的關係很快以破裂告終,之後Williams的惡搞照片開始在網絡上四處流傳。而Williams則認為這是騷擾行為,為了向LiveJournal的運營團隊報告這個行為,他來到俄勒岡州的波特蘭市,把所謂的騷擾信息提供給了當地的一家電視台[6]。這一出鬧劇當然也被ED記錄在內,DeGrippo建立Encyclopedia Dramatica是為了收錄「來自LiveJournal的信息和黑客西奧·德·若特和Darren Reed之間的故事」。
Oh Internet
編輯隨著時間的推移,DeGrippo稱她開始逐漸厭惡起了Encyclopedia Dramatica,她希望網站能夠回歸討論LiveJournal上的鬧劇的初衷。2011年4月14日,網站被重定向到由DeGrippo建立的新站「Oh Internet」,這個新站的內容與原本的ED完全沒有任何關係,「Oh Internet」這個名字想要表達的意思是「哦,網際網路,你實在是太瘋狂了」(Oh, Internet, you are so crazy!)。DeGrippo的這一舉動引起了ED用戶的不滿,這些用戶自發組織攻擊了「Oh Internet」網站以及該站的Facebook粉絲專頁。Oh Internet從2013年起正式下線。
評價
編輯Jason Fortuny使用該百科公開了Craigslist上回復他廣告的176人的照片,電子郵件和電話號碼,廣告裡他假裝自己是女性,想和有支配慾的男性約會。網站從此開始受主流媒體關注。 [7][8] 一個託管在連線的博客提到了此事,並將ED百科稱為「世界上最垃圾的wiki」[9]
2006年,一個「知名的網絡巨魔」[8]給ED百科的創始人DeGrippo發郵件,要求自己條目(已被全保護)的編輯權限。DeGrippo拒絕了,於是他們為DeGrippo叫了的士,外賣披薩,三陪服務,還發送了死亡威脅,並威脅登門拜訪他[8] 。
Encyclopedia Dramatica became a "favourite target for critics, who accuse Anonymous of propagating hate,"[10] for allowing alleged members of the group to sometimes use the website as a platform. Through this association, Encyclopedia Dramatica received incidental coverage when actions by members of Anonymous led to the arrest of an alleged pedophile,[11] when they demonstrated against Scientology in London;[12][13] when a member of the group broke into the e-mail account of former Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin,[14] and when a member of Anonymous claimed credit for an attack on the virtual Second Life headquarters of former presidential candidate John Edwards.[15][16] The convergence of Encyclopedia Dramatica with the anti-Scientology campaign of Project Chanology was noted by technology journalist Julian Dibbell.[17]
The celebration and archival of the "raids" organized on /b/ on Encyclopedia Dramatica, which acted as a "troll hall of fame" when used this way,[18] has been seen by some scholars, among them Liam Mitchell of Trent University, as acting as a way to assuage the guilt that trolls feel for harming their victims and being confronted with evidence of this harm. By celebrating on Encyclopedia Dramatica, and archiving that which would make an individual member guilty, trolls collectively engage in a type of mob mentality where the idea that "none of us is as cruel as all of us" minimizes the actions they take individually: "One cannot reason with a multitude, let alone appeal to its conscience. If any of its members are not susceptible to reason or conscience—the province of the ego ideal, and therefore of the divide that characterizes subjectivity—then the trolling will proceed."[19]
2008年12月16日,ED百科在Mashable的第二屆年度開放網絡獎中贏得了評選最受歡迎的wiki的「人民選擇獎」,其中 wikiHow 獲得亞軍,維基百科名列第三[20]。
2008年12月,ED百科公告尋求捐助,聲稱網站受到攻擊,失去了一半的廣告收入[21]。
2010年1月,ED百科的 Aboriginal 條目從Google澳大利亞的搜索結果中消失,因為一個律師以「種族主義」為由向澳大利亞人權委員會舉報[22]。搜索相關關鍵字就會看到Google說由於收到澳大利亞種族歧視法(RDA)相關的法律要求,一個搜索結果已經被移除[23][24]。對此事的炒作反而給網站增加了聲譽[25]。2010年3月,據報道,澳大利亞人權委員會通過電子郵件通知該網站,根據澳大利亞法律,這篇文章的Aboriginal條目可能違反了其RDA的第18C和18D節[26]。
