Worlds

/mhz and /OWOTD, two of the Manhatingzone's largest projects.

"I like to think I'm desensitized to this sort of stuff but few have managed to make my flesh crawl as much as MHZ on OWOT.

If you want to find the truth yourself, enter this door to hell at your own discretion."

- Unknown

The Manhatingzone is known to have created a multitude of large scaled worlds filled with writings and art.

/mhz

/mhz is a world on Our World of Text filled with original content and unusual posts. It believes in female and robot supremacy.

The world is known for the amount of fan fiction, ASCII art, incestuous content, and strange posts on it. There's a "subzone" for owning "pet clowns", and fan fiction about random characters and numerous users of OWOT and YWOT. There are multiple cities and towns on MHZ. MHZ only allows original content.

/mhz goes from public to private on random months for construction.

MHZ Spawn in 2023

/OWOTD

/OWOTD is a page owned by a MHZ member named Foam, where users can discuss drama and vent their frustrations about the OWOT community. As is, however, /OWOTD is used almost exclusively by the MHZ as a propaganda platform.

Just like /mhz, /OWOTD is split into multiple subsections, including a zone for copypastas about OWOT users and another area for user charts.

The page covers a large amount of history for both OWOT and YWOT, with some factoids dating all the way back to 2010.

Controversy

"When I was younger and exploring the canvas, I mostly shielded myself from caring about drama or hateful things. There was a point where I couldn't fend off my curiosity and decided to peek, and in 2015 it was funny and seemed like a meme. Before that I'd only heard things third hand. But revisiting that same year and realizing the scope... Just scrolling around and realizing how extensive it was. It kinda freaked me out."

"It feels of evil, hateful energy. But maybe it was someone's attempt at healing and sharing their healing process with others. Man hating is a coping mechanism for trauma."

- Mr. Guy on the OWOT Discord

"It's actually fucking disgusting how that section has made it unscathed throughout the 3 entire years it has existed for. The people there are trying so hard to defend literal pedophilia, i've seen them in chat so many times just casually talking about erotic fanfics about children.

They ALWAYS fall back to the argument of "it's just words bro it's not real" which implies that discord groomers sexting a 15 year old girl is COMPLETELY FINE because it's all just words LMAOOOOO! Don't worry bro just a prank lol just don't read it LOL!

Whether they're trolls or not, you can't really joke about being a pedophile. You can't joke about being one if you write mountains of fics involving various minors on OWOT.

You are one at that point.

I've asked FP if he could wipe this section of the world at least and OTHER WORLDS (/mhz glorifies zoophilia through ASCII art, /williamXbzuki is pretty much one of the fanfics turned into an entire world, /AndreiReceipts I don't remember if it has anything NSFW but it's still creepy as fuck writing roleplay shit about you as a grown ass woman and a minor). And NOOOOOO he does not want to get involved into any of it."

- AndreiXYZ on the OWOT Discord

Though it had supposedly been around for much longer, the Manhatingzone did not attract significant attention in the OWOT Discord until 2021, after it had migrated out of YWOT following the latter site's Mainpage lockdown. Today, the MHZ is vitriolically despised by certain members of the OWOT community due to their pedophilic and zoophilic tendencies. Notably, MHZ members have no qualms against writing smut of underaged users.

AndreiXYZ has historically been the most vocal critic of the MHZ, having tried multiple times to get Fp to delete certain sections of their worlds. He would also grief /OWOTD using scripts, causing the page to be temporarily privated.

In response, the MHZ wrote numerous fanfictions(some of which were sexual in nature) about Andrei and even created an entire world dedicated to mocking him.

As of 2024, however, Andrei has largely decided to stop talking about the Manhatingzone or its worlds. Similarly, the MHZ is largely dormant in the modern day and no longer attracts as much drama as it did before.

In defense of their actions, MHZ members have pointed out that all of their (pedophilic and zoophilic) fan fictions are ironic in nature and not meant to be taken seriously. And not only have they refrained from spamming as other trolls had, but that they actively fought spam and tried to protect art whenever they can. Though most users found these justifications to be insufficient for the sheer immorality of certain fanfics, the MHZ is an anomaly for being perhaps the only troll group who actually wants to make the site a better place.

As a whole, much of the OWOT community is disturbed by the Manhatingzone. But despite this, most users have elected to simply ignore them, with Andrei expressing his frustration over the fact that FP has done nothing about the matter.

Members

"Man it'd help if we knew the actual size of MHZ. Because right now in my mind it's in the ballpark somewhere between 3 and 3000." - Unknown

Members of the Man Hating Zone are uniformly anonymous and function as part of a Hivemind, with many referring to themselves as "Hivettes" or "Lurkers."

It is unknown how the MHZ recruits new members, or if this is done at all.

The only named members that we know of are Foam and (potentially) Kiki.

Foam

Owner of /OWOTD.

The only active MHZer with a distinct identity outside of the Hivemind.

Kiki

"mhz is the best world ever!" - Kiki/Meimei in OWOT Chat

"They have a dark horse ASCII artist that's pretty prolific in there, ask yourself the difficult question, who that might be."

"I may be overdosing on copium here, but the man killer art had to be just vandalism right? (It's none of my business either way, it's hilarious to think my favorite artists have their Jekyll & Hyde shitposter personality)."

- Unknown

A skilled ASCII artist who is better known as Meimei outside of YWOT.

Kiki was reportedly kicked out of the Hivemind for unknown reasons. It is unclear what role they played within the MHZ prior to being expelled, assuming that they were a MHZer at all and not just a fangirl. Currently, the only traces of them that remain in the OWOT /mhz world are a few drawings at X:444 Y:444.

Kiki became active on YWOT in early 2022, coinciding with a brief surge in MHZ activity.

Secret Chatroom

/OWOTD makes brief mention of a secret MHZ chatroom, of which nothing else is known.

Trivia

• The MHZ began long before the 2015 Wipe as a largely private community, but eventually took up a presence on the Mainpage.
  • It was theorized to have originated from the writings of a single dedicated user, before gaining popularity and becoming an entire faction with multiple leaders.
• There was an internal schism within the MHZ during(or before) 2016, supposedly causing one of the leaders to leave and take a portion of the community with them.
