Do you remember when they took down an article about natural disasters because of the Boston Bombing? That was one of the first signs that Cracked's writers were a bunch of cucks. Then there was the "Top 64" articles from 2012 where the writers who talked about video games hadn't actually PLAYED them, and then they threatened to get rid of the comments section about a year before they actually did.
tbh I'm kind of just reciting a lot of this from Cracked's EncyclopediaDramatica article (probably because I actually wrote it lmao)
I actually don't remember. But I was reading Cracked pretty regularly at the time for entertainment and I just remember how they kept getting more bizzare, political, and unhinged. I probably looked back at in 2012 once or twice and it was just fucking off the wall, and wasn't even funny. Just weird people saying weird, hyper-political shit.
