Haaaah wow

Sorry I didn't update Wednesday but I had a damn fine reason:
none of the Livejournal communities were loading for me. I checked and apparently this was a personal problem (or really, personal boon I think) but whatever.
Anyway, welcome...
TO OBLIVION!
The first article on ONTD_Political is so fucking awesome I can't even be bothered to find a blog because I know exactly where I'm hanging out this fiiiiiine Friday.

10 of the Most Disturbing Communities on the Web *trigger warning*

The My Little Pony board on 4chan is 1 in my opinion.

1. Pro-Anorexia Nervosa communities

I mean I can think of several things more disturbing on the internet than pro-anorexia but whatever.
Also: smartest thing I ever did, banning those.
I know this seems silly but bear with me because this is about to get awesome.

2. Suicide and self-harm communities

K.

3. Child pornography

So there you have it. A bunch of selfish cunts starving themselves out so they can look pretty is objectively worse than systematic child rape and abuse.
You know this whole thing really hangs a huge question on the whole ONTD_Political/Feminism thing of THINK OF THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN, doesn't it?
I always suspected when they said "women and children" they meant "women" and by "women" they meant "me" but this effectively confirms it.

The Internet has been a haven for pedophiles to share child pornography for a long time. Before Internet connections in homes were even common, it was there.

Ignoring for the moment that before internet connections in the home were common most browsers were incapable of displaying pictures--

Consecutive forms of Internet discussion have harbored this material, from the old BBSes to Usenet, which only fell out of common use less than a decade ago, the web itself, and peer-to-peer file sharing programs. It is also present in layers of the deep web accessible only via software such as Tor and Freenet.

RAMPANT PEDOPHILIA ON THE INTERNET?
Not quite as bad as a girl choosing to starve herself out.

It is estimated that there are between 50,000 and 100,000 pedophiles communicating and sharing images on the Internet, not to mention the involvement of those who aren t pedophiles but have been willing to exploit children in the name of profit.

I'm going to inflate your number and say there are 150,000 pedophiles actively molesting children thanks to the internet (ignoring this is immensely spurious) we are looking at 0.000001% of the entire population of earth engaging in this behavior.
I bet I could find 0.000001% of any given population engaging in disturbing behavior.
This entire article really strikes me as fear mongering in the extreme.

4. Drug experiences

16 year olds posting about their experience with pot?
Only mildly less disturbing than pedophilia.

But talk is cheap. Venture into the deep web and you ll find sites like Silk Road where you can obtain everything from Xanax to heroin in the mail in exchange for BitCoins. Silk Road might be the most well-known example, but in just a few minutes you can find dozens of alternatives.

They make it seem like you're 3 mouse clicks away from heroin. If an average user of the internet tried this the feds would be at their doorstep in 5 minutes.
Here, I'll even pose a challenge to the cunt who wrote this article, or the other cunt who posted it to ONTD_Political or hell, anyone reading this:
I don't want to you buy anything with Bitcoins.
Get the Bitcoins.
Turn your local currency into Bitcoins.
Go ahead, I can wait.
Fuck, I bet 50% of the people I will talk to about this entry aren't even aware of what a Bitcoin is let alone how to get one.

 5. Blackhat SEO, spam and follower buying

So in terms of disturbing things wrought by humanity thanks to the internet:
1. anorexia
2. suicide
3. pedophilia
4. pot
5. spam
Hmmm.
You know one might begin to question the wisdom of this article when you line it up like that.
AND I FORGOT TO FINISH THIS POST FRIDAY GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.
Now ONTD_POLITICAL HAS MOVED ON AND I'M ALL FUCKED UP NOW.
Back to business as usual Monday I promise~
