(And by "radical" feminism I'm refering to individuals like Valerie Solanas who advocated genocide and was sent to prison for murdering Andy Warhol.... That's militant feminism.

They have their own movie now . Out of curiosity, is the incel fixation specifically on "having a girlfriend / not being single" or just about "having sex"? (Since the latter does not necessarily require the former). This may be TMI, but I haven't had a girlfriend in a long time. Don't want one for...

The incel wiki is awesome, in the sense of “a good place to find batshit ramblings to laugh at with your friends on Discord”… Haven't had the stomach to peruse it, but I imagine that incel wikis are more or less the male equivalnt of radical feminism (And by "radical" feminism I'm refering to indiv...

Incels are not just dudes who can't get laid so they spend their time obsessing on wikis or other web places. The main thrust is that they blame feminism for depriving them of their god-given right to have sex with beautiful women. Yes, and the irony is that in ancient, Biblical times, "low-status"...

Maybe I am misremembering, but didn't Ryulong claim to hate incels? I guess he could have been one too (it's not like Wikipedia editors have a high amount of sex on average). If "incel" just means "someone who has no sex life and is unhappy about it" - irrespective of politics, then he fits the bil...

I've only briefly followed the case recently since there have been no significant updates for quite a while.

Thanks, that's interesting. A draft article about Miraheze was declined last month.

I sometimes think that incels and wikis just go together like bread and butter. Whether this guy, Ryulong, or anyone else.

(Not that I'd know, of course).

Allah was the founder wasn't he? He started it all... Gods can't be the founders of their own religions — think of the tax implications.

It's also worth noting that a Youtuber named "Geno Samuel" created a documentary featuring clips from the Chris Chan Youtube videos, and it now has an entry on IMDB. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8264568/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1 I'm not very familiar with the site, so I'm not sure if it was simply added by...

I think that they are very Wikipedia:BLP1E right now (in terms of 'mainstream media' coverage) but that doesn't mean an article about her can't exist in draft space with proper sourcing (there are plenty of drafts on non-notable subjects, after all, and drafts aren't checked for notability or sanit...

Get em. This is a righteous effort. Let me know if you want help digging. You'll want to hit 'em where it hurts: right in the donations .

I do not have the stomach to read this stuff. On the other hand, I am bit less likely to suggest, upon reading a report of a child predator, immediately beating the victimizer to death.

Best ignore those who frequently whinge about the failings of Wikipedia yet also just want to poke holes in someone's efforts to create an alternative.
