| '''Metafilter''' (found at '''www.boyzone.info''') is a niche site targeted towards the underrepresented demographic of [[Liberal|white rape-apologists with credit cards]]. Originally a SEO spam site that stole its content from Fark, it has since developed into what could charitably be described as an [[Juggalo|"AIDS Volcano."]]

| *'''Jessamyn''', in addition to her "work" on the site (which consists of deleting ask.metafilter answers written by known [[No_girls_on_the_internet|women]],) is a librarian in some tiny New England shithole. Due to her efforts, the library is empty of everything except [[Gor]] novels.

| Dear anonymous,

A successful thread will then be taken to metatalk where comments that are deemed offensive can be highlighted and people can be offended that they too were not offended or that they were offended by the person who took offense. Someone has actually posted 'I feel unsafe in this thread' regarding discussion of some topic. |

In all cases expect the recommendation to be more [[Gay_rehab|therapy]]. When the questions aren't from [[Fake_bisexual|invisible lesbians]] and insufferable sad sacks whining about how much they, as middle-class Americans, have it worse than starving African [[7chan|AIDS]] [[Babyfuck|baby rape]] victims, they're from equally insufferable [[Nice Guys]] who want to know how best to get away with date [[raep]]. Any [[Chris_Hansen|known woman]] caught [[Asking_for_it|asking a question]] about her relationship will rightfully be called a slut over and over, until her post is deleted by Jessamyn, who can't stand the thought that her [[Centipedes|centipede-infected vagina]] isn't the only one on MetaFilter.

| At Metafilter, the residents cherish the chance to express offense on behalf of vegans, feminists and other stock campus leftist types.
