The gonads of the world wide web. A painfully unfunny website run by angsty 15 year olds. A homophobic, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, racist monstrosity for anti-social queers to vent their rage and anger.
Anyone who tells you that Encyclopedia Dramatica is meant as a "joke", unless they indubitably consider coprophillia and suicide funny, is bullshitting you. Contrary to ED's disclaimer, their content is very much NOT done "for the lulz" and should be taken very seriously, as it is all very genuine and NOT written in a joking manner.
Typical ED entry: zOMG U hAvE AsPErG3rS u SHuD b3C0mE aN HErO

If Wikipedia was written by people so unfunny they couldn't even write for SA, this is what it would look like. Every article is written exactly the same, there is nothing funny on the entire website, it is only browsed by stupid kids who cream their pants when they see some other stupid kid saying something bad about a show they don't like. ED editors are always hypocritical. They'll say calling others gay is lame, but then turn around and say every band is gay. They try to gain attention by acting like their attached to 4chan, but most /b/tards (over 14) don't like ED.
OMFG Encyclopedia Dramatica made fun of System of a Down! LOL that part was great, although I'm going to ingore the part where they make fun on my favorite comedian Carlos Mencia.

The bastard love child of a threeway between reddit, wikipedia and tv tropes, it provides cutting, satirical commentary on internet phenomena, a large chunk of human population and many popular fandoms. Presumably 4chan was involved as well.
The true genius of the Encyclopedia Dramatica is how it manages to offend the very people who offend everybody else.

A stupid wiki full of Autism shaming, Retard shaming, Brony shaming, Gay shaming, meatspin, goatse, lemonparty, ads that give you viruses, and stereotypes.
The average Encyclopedia Dramatica user is 14 years old. He is at the stage of life where he things homophobia is good. He is also at the stage where mental diseases are fair game for insults disguised as jokes, and thinks shock sites are funny.
The developers of Encyclopedia Dramatica don't care about quality control; anything goes there. They just want to put ads that give viruses to appease their advertisers, sites like playpickle and many generic porn viruses.
The basic framework of an Encyclopedia Dramatica page: This person's autistic and he can't take an insult; be nice. Gay nigger faggot I love Meatspin wee!
Thankfully, there's a joke wiki that is actually FUNNY. It's called uncyclopedia. This is a better version of Uncyclopedia that doesn't use stereotypes or shock images to be funny.
I went on Encyclopedia Dramatica today; I had to go on Uncyclopedia for 13 hours to recover from how unfunny it was!

A severely biased and somehwat cruel wikipedia for the internet (among other things). Though written in a sardonic voice tends to have at least a grain of truth in what's written.
This feud would eventually cause each author to take out her frustration on her friend's cameo character out of spite. Raven by way of grade demotion and disposition change - Tara by way of expulsion, death, and postmortem rape. Moar quotes:

βBTW Willow that fucking poser got expuld. she failed al her klasses and she skepped math.β (an: RAVEN U FUKIN SUK! FUK U!) Maybe Willow will die too.β I said.
βKawai.β Bβloody Mair shook her head enrgtically lethrigcly. βOh yeah o have a confession after she got expuld I murdered her and den loopin did it with her cause heβs a necphilak.β
βKawai.β I commnted happily .

Basically, a hilarious site that makes fun of everything imaginable. If you dislike ED, you probably are either 1. incredibly liberal or conservative (IE narrow-minded), 2. an idiot, or 3. somebody who takes the internet too seriously. It's a funny website as long as you don't take it too seriously.
Guy: Hey, did you see Encyclopedia Dramatica's article on Halo? It's really funny.
Guy 2: Oh, I hate that site. It makes fun of everything.
Guy: It's just parody. Don't take it so seriously.
Guy 2: Now that I have my head out of my ass, I can enjoy some comedy. Thanks, Guy!
