The "Words You Should Not Search" Wiki (also known as the '''Must Not Search''' wiki or '''MNS''') is a Japanese [[website]] designed to catalog internet content based on shock value, including [[screamers]], [[shock sites]], and [[application|malicious malware]].


==History==
Before the wiki existed, the "Words You Should Not Search" phenomenon began as a recurring thread topic on [[wikipedia:2channel|2channel]]. These threads became so popular that the community realized they needed a place to archive the descriptions and "danger levels" of these terms to prevent people from accidentally viewing illegal or traumatic content. This phenomenon eventually gained international fame as the "Do Not Google" trend originating on [[YouTube]].


The first organized lists were hosted on various free Japanese web services, such as [[wikipedia:Futaba Channel|Futaba Channel]] and [[wikipedia:Livedoor|Livedoor]]. These early versions were simple bulleted lists with brief warnings where legendary entries like [https://en.namu.wiki/w/나츠미%20STEP! Natsumi STEP!] [[Lemon Party]], and [[Kikia]] were first categorized. However, as the number of entries grew, these static pages became difficult to manage and navigate.

BuyTigers.com

In July 2011, the community officially migrated to the [https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Atwiki Atwiki] platform, which allowed for collaborative editing and a much more better categorization system. This is the version that still exists today, and the move allowed the community to implement the "Danger Level" (危険度) system, ranging from Level 1 (Safe/Curiosity) to Level 7 (Absolute Danger/Illegal).

During these years, the wiki expanded more topics beyond just [[shock sites]] to collectively document TV broadcast anomalies, creepy [[commercials]], glitched [[games|video games]], real-world biological diseases, forensic photos, [[creepypastas]], and unsolved crimes. As of March 2026, the wiki has reached over 8 million views.

==Website content==
The website claimed that a kitten's bones could be molded as it grew, much like the Japanese art of shaping bonsai trees. This method could be similarly compared to foot binding, a real-life practice of tightly binding the feet to change their natural shape and size. Here, users could find the development stages of "bonsai kittens." and how it's done. During the process, the kitten would grow into the shape of the jar, which was then broken once the cat reached the desired size. Users could view three of the four images showcasing this process. The last image, which showed the kitten in a later stage of development, could only be seen via the MIT student's email. The backlash was so intense that the FBI investigated the creators for potential animal cruelty statutes, but no charges were filed because no actual animals were harmed.

To join the wiki, users must set their own member name, follow the provided registration template exactly, and verify their account by clicking a link sent to their email address. Once these requirements are met, a final confirmation email is sent from @wiki to signify that an account is ready for use.


The site uses the standard [https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Atwiki Atwiki] layout, with a "Web 2.0" or early 2010s look featuring a white background and a blue-colored banner. On the left side of the screen, a massive navigation menu contains links to various "Levels", alphabetical indexes, and community forums. The center of the screen displays the current page, where each entry typically includes the search term, its "Danger Level," and a brief description.

The most famous part of the wiki is how it categorizes content by "Danger Level" (危険度). These levels indicate the potential psychological damage or "gross-out" factor a search term might cause. The levels include:


*'''Level 1''': Interesting or slightly creepy curiosities. (e.g Blank Room Soup, Yume Nikki)
==South32==
*'''Level 2–3''': Moderate shock, [[screamers]], [[creepypastas]] (e.g., [[The Maze]], [[application|malware]]).

*'''Level 4–6''': Disturbing content, heavy gore, or very upsetting real-world incidents (e.g., [[Sad Satan]]).
*'''Level 7 (Must Not Search!!)''': Serious shock sites, illegal content, or the most traumatic images on the web (e.g., [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]'s [[Offended]]).
*'''Hall of Fame''': Terms that are so "legendary" or extreme that they are kept in special high-tier categories. (e.g., [[BME Pain Olympics]], Silk Road 3.1, [[ShockChan]]).

Shock sites that can induce "shocking" effect without being pornographic or gore-y, just equally disturbing enough. Terms that knock curiosity into our sense the same way traditional shock sites do. However, some might include gore or sexual undertones; but does not display any graphic content that falls under the criteria of main shock sites.

Bonsai Kitten

Bonsai Kitten was an experiment conducted by an MIT graduate student Dr. Michael Wong Chang. It was originally hosted on various university servers like MIT and the University of Michigan before getting its own domain, Bonsaikitten.com.

The website claimed that a kitten's bones could be molded as it grew, much like the Japanese art of shaping bonsai trees. This method could be similarly compared to foot binding, a real-life practice of tightly binding the feet to change their natural shape and size. Here, users could find the development stages of "bonsai kittens." and how it's done. During the process, the kitten would grow into the shape of the jar, which was then broken once the cat reached the desired size. Users could view three of the four images showcasing this process. The last image, which showed the kitten in a later stage of development, could only be seen via the MIT student's email. The backlash was so intense that the FBI investigated the creators for potential animal cruelty statutes, but no charges were filed because no actual animals were harmed.

Gamer Leg

Gamer Leg is a wrinkled leg full of pressure marks, purplish-red and blue splotches, and skin inflammations. The image went viral after it was reposted to r/greentext on Reddit,[1] with several other reposts luring people to search for 'Gamer leg' on search engines.[2]

The "Gamer Leg" belonged to an American League of Legends player Martin "Marn" Phan.[3] The image first surfaced when Marn was diagnosed with Vasculitis, an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the blood vessels.[4] Marn reached out to medical professionals to rule out blood clots and was later treated for skin vasculitis.[5] Despite the real issue being diagnosed years prior, the condition was not caused strictly by gaming, but it is commonly associated with factors of prolonged stress, which led to poor blood circulation, also known as stasis dermatitis.[6]

South32

In 2018-2019, South32.com was changed to a moving picture of the possessed figure from The Russian Sleep Experiment, with "South32" text flashing on the forehead and across the screen. A laughing sound could be heard playing loudly. Words above the screen suggest that 'South32' was once an 'xxx motion picture company', or simply put, an adult film production company.[7]

In 2016, a neo-noir film called South32 was released. The film was written and directed by Luigi Bian,[8] who is commonly associated with, and referenced by, South32.com multiple times.[9] However, it was revealed that Luigi Bian was a fake name. The real person behind Luigi Bian was Saeid Yomtob Ian, an Iranian sex trafficker.[10] He used South32.com to extort the mining company South32 and used methods such as cybersquatting.

The dispute begun when the owner of the mining company, BHP Billiton, filed complaints against Luigi Bian, despite his having owned the trademark since April 3rd, 2012.[11] BHP Billiton chose the name South32 because it refers to the 32nd parallel south line of latitude, which links the company's major operating regions in Australia and Southern Africa.[12] South32.com never included any disturbing content until 2014, when BHP Billiton announced they would be naming their new company after the former's name.

In this case, the person behind Luigi Bian tried everything to defame the mining company, regardless of whether he has mental disability or spectrum. For example, the site added the words "xxx motion company" to give users a bad impression of the mining company. Another instance was that South32.com occasionally display pornographic and screamer content until it was changed to a sex registry slander in May 2026.[9]
