Category talk:Pedophiles
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
i'm not sure we need this. there certainly are plenty of them on the internet, but we frown on new categories. i'll let aussie have the final decision here. --kh/ what 17:01, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
This category is too specific and narrow. We try to maintain a few broad categories. I'd like suggestions for a category that can replace this category. Those that immediately come to mind are:
- Category:Deviants
- Category:Perversions
- Category:Perverts
Obviously, existing categories
- Furry Shit
- Gay Shit
could be merged into this broader category.
I will allow 24 hours for discussion. If a consensus is reached, I will administer that decision. If there is a lack of consensus or a failure of interested parties to participate in discussion, my decision will be arbitrary, ruthless, brutal, totalitarian, unilateral and final. --Banbot talk to Banbot 21:17, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I am lodging my vote for Category:Molested As A Child. --無 21:20, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- There is no voting here. ED is not a democracy. However, your suggestion is noted. --Banbot talk to Banbot 21:35, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- vote n. 1. A formal expression of preference ... for a proposed resolution of an issue. --無 21:39, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- banned n. 1. What will happen to anyone who argues semantics with Aussieintn by the use of selectively edited dictionary definitions. --Banbot talk to Banbot 21:59, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Hardly selectively, and not the first time you've threatened to ban me and I haven't listened. --無 00:36, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

- Devients and Perversions is too broad. My vote is for Fucked-Up Perverts --Fire trucks
- "Fucked-up Perverts" is too specific. I suggest that non-fucked-up perverts be included in this category. "Too broad" is not a valid complaint as the intention of the administration is to maintain a few broad categories. --Banbot talk to Banbot 21:30, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Fine. Perverts it is. --Fire trucks
- The problem with "Perverts" is that its just not...funny.

- There's no way to do subcategories and keep them off the category list, is there? Furry Shit and Gay Shit are both well-established and linked like crazy. It would be nice to keep them around under the "perverts" category (which I agree is the best choice). Also, we will need to be careful with "gay shit" since there's a lot of stuff in there that's gay in the fourth-grade-lol-that's-gay sense, not in the tenth-grade-handjob-under-the-bleachers-but-if-you-fucking-tell-anyone-I-will-fucking-kill-you sense.--hardvice (talk) 03:35, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Consensus is reached
Because I hardly ever participate anymore, I'm going to jump in here and remove this category because frankly, it is stupid and it was created by someone I do not know - therefore it is dumb. Feel free to re-categorize these with something SPECTACULAR and USEFUL if it comes up. For now I am removing the tag from the articles. Love and lulz, --girlvinyl 05:16, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)
