Not sure why you're getting downvoted, this is indeed creepy and really screwed up. You got my upvote. ๐
Creepy Wikipedia
A fediverse community for curating Wikipedia articles that are oddly fascinating, eerily unsettling, or make you shiver with fear and disgust
Guidelines:
-
Follow the Code of Conduct
-
Do NOT report posts YOU don't consider creepy
-
Strictly Wikipedia submissions only
-
Please follow the post naming convention: Wikipedia Article Title - Short Synopsis
-
Tick the NSFW box for submissions with inappropriate thumbnails.
-
Please refrain from any offensive language/profanities in the posts titles, unless necessary (e.g. it's in the original article's title).
Mandatory:
If you didn't find an article "creepy," you must announce it in the thread so everyone will know that you didn't find it creepy
Honestly, even though I know what community I'm in, it still feels kinda wrong upvote something like this since it's typically used as an "I like/agree with this" button.
I totally get you there.
It's almost like there should be something in between Like and Dislike buttons, sorta like "I agree this post should be seen by others, but I dislike what I'm reading or viewing"
I know I'm late to this but I'm guessing the downvote was for a low effort contribution - this story is still all over the front pages in the UK papers at the moment, whereas I guess the implied thing on this community is finding more obscure weird stuff. Rather than news headlines.
Not that it actually matters!
