MetaFilter

Uh oh..		MetaFilter is a bit short on content, and may leave you wanting moar. You can help by adding relevant content, pictures, links, drama and lulz. Be sure to improve the article, not mess it up. For tips, read The Manual. This article has been tagged since June 27

Metafilter (found at www.boyzone.info) is a niche site targeted towards the underrepresented demographic of 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 "AIDS Volcano."

Mods

Like a bonsai tree of failure, Metafilter is carefully pruned to meet the standards of its mods. If you ever wondered what kind of person would actually want their website to be like jayisgames with concern-trolling Registered Democrats, read on.

mathowie created the site in order to talk about his two passions: professional wrestling and auto-erotic asphyxiation. He will often PM members of the site to boast about how good he is at watching television.
Jessamyn, in addition to her "work" on the site (which consists of deleting ask.metafilter answers written by known women,) is a librarian in some tiny New England shithole. Due to her efforts, the library is empty of everything except Gor novels.
Cortex once paid $5000 for a fursuit, then wrote an album of Klingon folk songs about it.

Memes

Metafilter is the last stop before your mom on the old meme train. This is due to the fact that they pulled a train on your mom. There is some indication that they might get past goatse and Monica Lewinsky jokes by 2014.

Ask Metafilter

Ask Metafilter, the site’s popular advice page, is useful for swift responses to your IT questions. Relationship questions are a different matter:

Dear Metafilter,
I am a 20 year old lesbian who has just moved to a new town, and I'm too
young for the bar scene. How should I meet other gay women?
-anonymous

Dear anonymous,
Sometimes relationships can go seriously wrong.  What if the other woman is not really gay?  You definitely need to lawyer up.
-ParisianSnowflake

Dear anonymous,
I'm a straight guy, but I'm sure I can answer your question. You see, blah
blah blah friendzone blah blah ladder theory blah blah George Sodini was right blah blah blah.
-AwsumDood39

Dear anonymous,
Have you considered therapy?
-SelfSatisfiedAndIntellectuallyLazy

Dear anonymous,
You need to find Jesus!
-Konolia

Ask Metafilter’s Human Relations tag is dominated by “anonymous” questions from confused souls asking, for example, whether they should be troubled that their husband wants to engage in wife-swapping or their therapist has recommended that they join a vegan sex cult. In all cases expect the recommendation to be more therapy. When the questions aren't from invisible lesbians and insufferable sad sacks whining about how much they, as middle-class Americans, have it worse than starving African AIDS baby rape victims, they're from equally insufferable Nice Guys who want to know how best to get away with date raep. Any known woman caught 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 centipede-infected vagina isn't the only one on MetaFilter.

Taking Offense

At Metafilter, the residents cherish the chance to express offense on behalf of vegans, feminists and other stock campus leftist types. This is an attempt on behalf of most "MeFites" to relive their wasted youths by pretending that they have any knowledge or understanding of current political issues, rather than face the fact that they're a bunch of pasty, overweight, middle-aged cube-dwellers who spend their evenings masturbating to CP before crying themselves to sleep. Though most members of MetaFilter will pretend to be cowardly liberals, almost all of them are in fact Nazis, and probably furries as well.

In the wake of particularly traumatic front page posts, huge swaths of comments on the sub-section MetaTalk are devoted to working out just how offended people are. One recent enormous MetaTalk thread, for example, devolved into a tedious and arcane discussion of how offended feminist theorists should be if transsexuals show up at women’s rights meetings. Afterwards most of the participants logged off MetaFilter and headed over to /b/ to fap to delicious lolis, all the while congratulating themselves for being smarter than your average /b/tards.

Self-Congratulation

MeFites are famous for lauding themselves for pulling together as a community. “Oh my God you guys are so amazing,” someone will post after a death results in a chain of “.” symbols, and then the mod will post it to the front page. Everyone will be amazed by themselves for honoring the dead person with a mass of astute punctuation marks, demonstrating the good sense of being on Metafilter instead of 4chan. Just recently they gave themselves a stroke over how they busted up a white-slavery ring. Of course, like most of their good deeds, it exists only in their imaginations.
