at the risk of mockery, i can sort of see where they are coming from regarding aspergers, the ending to the episode ass bergers and the depiction of transgendered women. There are a lot of misconceptions out there, and aspergers is a real condition which people do suffer from (when south park covered tourette's syndrome they were far more even handed, with the exception of the constant shouting of shit by tourette's sufferers, which was obiously meant to be laughable

Playing with people's perception of widely misunderstood issues and taking shots at topics normally considered "off limits" is where a good 80% of the humor in South Park comes from. They didn't hit people with Asperger disorder or transsexuals any harder than they've hit any of the numerous other targets they've parodied over the years, so I don't see the logic in singling out those specific episodes for crossing some imaginary line. If you were just personally offended by those jokes, then again, remember the majority of the humor in SP is intentionally offensive and try not to take it so seriously. Hell, I was laughing out loud at the episode where they depicted vegetarians as spontaneously growing vaginas all over their bodies. (A little benzoyl peroxide will clear those right up, FYI.)

Behold, the greatest fanfic ever written. Here are some choice excerpts:

QUOTE
"I-it's not like I like you or anything Earl," Eddie protested in a tsundere way.

Earl smacked Fast Eddie's ass, and Fast Eddie became HARD EDDIE.

QUOTE
“FIghteer, I need to tell you something,” said Eddie, panting, his throbbing member firmly in hand. “I had an affair. It‟s with... Tim Buckley. Also, he‟s a brony.”

QUOTE
“oh shit!” fast eddie cried, taco crumbs bursting out of his mouth. “i think my water just broke!”

Seriously, everybody read this.

That was not particularly well written, even for purposely badly-written parody. It made me laugh, though, so I'll give it a pass.

Hey guys

Check this shit out.

You know how Fast Eddie is an incompetent site mod as well as being a massive assbaby?

Well that rabbit hole goes deeper than anyone thought.

Get a load of this:

QUOTE
A goon by the name of Sawboss Jones:

As veterans of the TvTropes threads know, Fast Eddie isn't the "Master Hackinator" he claims he is. Not only is he completely unprofessional in his overall handling of criticism, but he also makes terribly obvious missteps when it comes to keeping the site efficient, tidy/user-friendly and above all, safe for members. This post is about his neglect with regards to the latter.

I won't go into details for fear of touching the poop, but I'll go ahead and say that this security hole is one of the most grievous mistakes he's made on the whole site. It's a combination of exploits (as in, only taking advantage of holes Eddie himself left open, not making new ones) that result in a setup that can range from harmless stuff to potentially damaging.

An example of the harmless is the fact that you can abuse a certain tool Eddie and the rest use to check for sockpuppets, the link to which is posted somewhere in the forums. This leads to things like finding out that users commonly create sockpuppets to back themselves up in arguments they get into on the forums and dumb stuff like that.

Occasionally, it leads to really funny stuff like this:



For those that are unfamiliar with Janitor, that's one of the former admins of TvTropes, long suspected of being Fast Eddie himself pretending to be an attractive Asian woman to seem cooler or something, I don't know. As the screenshot shows, the admin known as Janitor only logged into the site from the IP Eddie uses. They're the same person, yo.

Same thing for the other admin who Eddie claims died, "Gus". It turns out that Gus is actually Fast Eddie's first name. All three admins on the site, who posted with eachother on the forums were all the same person: That one old Captain Ahab looking fellow.


An example of that "potentially damaging" stuff I mentioned?



Make no mistake, I just took this screenshot a few minutes ago.

From here, I can ban new users, (Not that I would) access parts of the site that I shouldn't be able to, and look at watched threads and things like that. Apparently there's a mod-only forum, but I haven't looked because I don't really see the point in trying.


Just so we're all clear though, I contacted Eddie about this several times out of fairness, but each time I was met with either hostility, indifference or silence, so I figure it's fair game to post about. Also, I'm not able to see pms or things like that, so I'm not going around violating people's privacy.

I could also elaborate on what to do exactly, but I don't know if that would cross the line into touching the poop or starting a goonswarm.



So yeah.

Fast Eddie created a tool that lets you check for sockpuppets, released it to the public, this guy used it to discover that Fast Eddie has been pretending to be an asian woman and a guy that he told everyone on TV Tropes was dead AND that this big gaping security hole could potentially let any bored 4chan hacker impersonate him on the website with minimal difficulty.

He is THAT incompetent.

Jesus fucking... and the worst part is that members are not allowed to deactivate their account. I checked, the mods won't let you. So, if some ass-clown decides to take advantage of the information presented here and uses your account to post shit without your consent, you're fucked.

There's also no way to recover passwords, so if you lose your password you have to register a new account. This is such a common problem that TV Tropes allows people up to ten separate accounts.

Fast Eddie is blazing new trails in bad site design.

"Mercyium" bullets is probably one of the most retarded ideas for a story concept. Unless you're some sort of SWAT Member trying to take a fugitive alive, what's the point of having bullets that can't kill?

I'm guessing the scientist who discovered Mercyium had his five-year-old kid with him at the time of discovery who wouldn't stop pestering him to let him name the metal.

We already have "Mercyium" bullets. All he did was come up with a new name for something that already exists.

Well, not quite.

According to this person, "mercyium", however the hell you pronounce that, works by producing a chemical reaction against organic matter that prevents it from actually piercing the skin, which is wholly nonsensical and provides a complete misunderstanding of biology, physics, ballistics, and a number of other things. Rubber bullets and beanbag rounds work because neither of them are fired at the same velocity as a bullet and do not have the same strength as a bullet, so they simply bounce off and hurt significantly. Why he could not simply have a world where metal bullets were banned and replaced with rubber ones is beyond me.

Actually, in most traditions Quetzalcoatl abhorred human sacrifice and told the Aztecs that sacrificial objects be limited to snakes, flowers and small birds.

Which makes sense, considering in Aztec myth, he made the human race, feed them so they could grow and live, and...

QUOTE
Legend has it that when the creation of the world was finished, the gods and humans lived in harmony, everyone was happy, except for the god Quetzalcoatl, who observed in anger as humans were subjugated by the other gods. So he decided to adopt the human condition to share the knowledge and art that the deities possessed.


Honestly, Quetzalcoatl was a pretty awesome creator of humanity as far as myths go, let alone in a society that practised human sacrifice.

Ugh...I made an account on Tvtropes long ago , and despite not using it anymore now someone can use it in my name to cause mayhem?

Thanks Gus.
