'''Kekma.net''', formerly known as '''kekma.ga''', is a bait and switch [[shock site]] launched on the April 23rd, 2019. The site was created by Obok MeatGod, who is also known as [[User:Kekmaguy|Kekmaguy]] on the Screamer Wiki. The website previously purported to be a far-right [[Reddit]] clone, especially of [[wikipedia:R/The_Donald|r/The_Donald]] and [[wikipedia:Voat|Voat]].<ref><nowiki>https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/dhuu1h/join_now_and_get_a_free_iphone_wich_u_can_uze_to/</nowiki></ref> | |||
== Content == | |||

Upon opening, the website displayed a large "ENTER" button with an 18+ age warning and a link to the Kekma [[wikipedia:PeerTube|PeerTube]] site.

The page background changed to two brightly flashing images: a man whose face was ripped off by a bear, and a medical image of a man who held a firecracker for too long. | |||
=== 2020 === | |||
Prior to March 13, 2020, the video at the center of the site was a medical recording of pork tapeworm cysts being pressed from a human liver, and the background images went through various iterations. The most infamous pair was an image of interracial porn doctored to look like a man having sex with an exploded corpse, and a supposed movie prop of a zombie baby with a penis superimposed on top of it. This image was removed when the creator began having concerns that the source was a mislabeled medical image, rather than a prop. It was replaced by a dog being skinned and various other manipulated images. | |||
By October 2020, the site had changed to its final phase, briefly including the original liver cyst video by mistake. | |||
=== 2022 === | |||
[[File:RIPKekma.jpeg|thumb|250px|The message displayed on Kekma.net shortly before its deletion in February 2022.]]On February 16, 2022, Kekma.net reached 30 million visits, and the creator removed all shocking content from the site after three years of operation. The site's content briefly changed to a message explaining that the site had served its purpose, which was to study how a shock site can spread across the world with no advertising budget on the modern internet. The creator encouraged people to make their own website to replace Kekma.net. Despite the shutdown of Kekma.net, the two community websites, stumpgrinder.info, and tube.kekmahub.com, remain active. Twelve days later, on February 28, Kekma.net's hosting provider completely removed the site. Kekma.net then changed to a video on tube.kekmahub.com. | |||
Kekma.net was later restored in October due to popular demand. In spite of having been shut down for most of 2022, Kekma.net continues to find itself on ban lists and filters, having more recently been filtered by [[Wikipedia:Cisco|Cisco]]. | |||

The flag has a picture of [[Wikipedia:Wabbit_Twouble#Big_Chungus|Big Chungus]] in the middle, a swastika in the corner, and the text "WE HATE NIGGERS" and "FREE SEX AT KEKMA.GA."

The website then shut down a second time, as the kekma.xyz domain was seized by [[wikipedia:Namecheap|Namecheap]], who claimed that the site contained "support of violence." This was very likely due to a series of [[TikTok]] videos falsely claiming that Kekma had secret political extremist and [[wikipedia:Satanism|Satanism]]-related training sections, and used subliminal messages to cause violent thoughts.

Kekma.net, formerly known as kekma.ga, is a bait and switch shock site launched on the April 23rd, 2019. The site was created by Obok MeatGod, who is also known as Kekmaguy on the Screamer Wiki. The website previously purported to be a far-right Reddit clone, especially of r/The_Donald and Voat.[1]
Content
2019
Upon opening, the website displayed a large "ENTER" button with an 18+ age warning and a link to the Kekma PeerTube site. This link once lead to a Discord server before the server was taken down by Discord administrators.[2] A link at the very top of the page led to the e-mail of the "Kekma Crew." While the community link at the bottom led to Kekmatube, clicking ENTER forced the web browser to enter fullscreen mode, play two extremely loud sound effects of Loud Nigra,[3] change the cursor into a picture of a mutilated penis in the shape of a swastika, and in the middle of the page, display a video of a man squatting in a bathtub full of blood, forcing a large, bloodstained industrial screw down his urethra. The page background changed to two brightly flashing images: a man whose face was ripped off by a bear, and a medical image of a man who held a firecracker for too long.
2020
Prior to March 13, 2020, the video at the center of the site was a medical recording of pork tapeworm cysts being pressed from a human liver, and the background images went through various iterations. The most infamous pair was an image of interracial porn doctored to look like a man having sex with an exploded corpse, and a supposed movie prop of a zombie baby with a penis superimposed on top of it. This image was removed when the creator began having concerns that the source was a mislabeled medical image, rather than a prop. It was replaced by a dog being skinned and various other manipulated images.
By October 2020, the site had changed to its final phase, briefly including the original liver cyst video by mistake.
2022
On February 16, 2022, Kekma.net reached 30 million visits, and the creator removed all shocking content from the site after three years of operation. The site's content briefly changed to a message explaining that the site had served its purpose, which was to study how a shock site can spread across the world with no advertising budget on the modern internet.

Twelve days later, on February 28, Kekma.net's hosting provider completely removed the site. Kekma.net then changed to a video on tube.kekmahub.com.
Kekma.net was later restored in October due to popular demand. In spite of having been shut down for most of 2022, Kekma.net continues to find itself on ban lists and filters, having more recently been filtered by Cisco.
Spread and history
The earliest known post about kekma.ga was made by YouTube user Crocnic, who commented on the link on a YouTube video.[4] Another post was made by u/SinfulPrince on r/Teenagers calling the website "cool and free."[5]
A flag reminiscent of the Kekistan and Wehrmacht flags were also created around this time and became the de-facto flag for the website. The flag has a picture of Big Chungus in the middle, a swastika in the corner, and the text "WE HATE NIGGERS" and "FREE SEX AT KEKMA.GA." The flag's colors were taken from the Gabonese flag, as Gabon is the owner of the .ga top-level domain.

On October 6, 2020, the Kekma Crew created another shock site called WomensAlliance.xyz, which was similar to Kekma.net.
