I think the poz took over in early 2012 and much like AIDS, has killed them 5 years later.

I think the biggest problem I've had with Cracked is how frequently their various lists and such will exaggerate or ignore information in order to make their claims; I can't speak for everything but I've noticed that when reading articles about subjects I'm actually familiar with. Now sure, exaggerations can often be used for comedic effect. But despite their described status as a comedy site, their articles present themselves as being informative with some comedy included rather than being fun bits of comedy you shouldn't really take too seriously.

The "shipper trolls" Shatner is referring to are fans of some show I've never heard of that are insisting that two of of the show's actors are secretly dating each other but there is a conspiracy to keep it a secret. Shatner is friends with these actors and whenever he corrects these crazy fans, they accuse him of being racist, homophobic, etc.. SJW idiots (including the authors of the Cracked article mentioned by Shatner) will then just believe the accusations and repeat them.

Cracked has it's own lengthy Critical Research Failure section on TVTropes.

They certainly love overselling shit for lists about totally rad and awesome shit that you've never heard about.

The tvtropes section is quite mesmerizing: on one hand, it's a collection of autists nitpicking MLP and Marvel trivia that no same reporter would think of fact checking; on the other, they quite correctly point out that the journos at Cracked missreport facts, get basic stories wrong and don't even read their own sources when writing.

There has to be a threshold when even autists can win you in a debate, you should throw the towel.

Hasn't Sheanbaby been around about as long as Maddox? I enjoyed his articles for the most part because it was usually just dumb shit like Man Comics, how incredibly gay Phil Collins' music is and Justin Bieber's favourite knife fighting techniques. :lol:

Autists can be very good at internet debates because they're so obsessive about things. The "weaponized autism" meme exists for a reason. Face to face, not so much.
