Lol what is that idiot trying to do? Relive the glory days of pushing lies?
To understand this, you need to know how his mind works.
Most wikispergs do what they do out of a legitimate desire to inform. As such, most are, by and large, harmless. They get into Autistic levels of detail or add what they feel is important information, but there's almost never actual malice behind it.
Ryulong meanwhile is a territorial dipshit who does what he does
specifically to push an agenda and always has one in mind.
In the entire history of Wikipedia, it is genuinely hard to find a bigger power-tripping asshole than Ryulong. He sees everyone else as beneath him and constantly pushed to ban anyone who remotely offends him, often applying high-level sanctions for vandalism against first-time offenders, even if no vandalism was done. If he doesn't like you for some reason, he nominated anything you wrote for deletion. One of the most egregious was editing his opposition's profiles and scrubbing warnings they were given so they were easier to ban. This was when he wasn't flat-out banning people and locking their pages and talk pages so they had no ability to contact staff to contest it.
Basically, he considered himself the fucking king of the site, but this also ties into another behavior he expressed. Once he sets up on an article, he considers that article to be
his, and once established, none may touch them unless they kiss his ass and push his talking points.
For the perfect microcosm of his behavior, you need look no further than his 4chan or Gamergate articles. In the former, anyone who dared portray 4chan as anything other than a hate site got reverted and edit warred into oblivion, and any attempt to update images for the 4chan page similarly got reverted. In the case of the latter, he was responsible for over 20% of all edits to the Gamergate article, and
was later exposed to have been doing so on behalf of Crash Override Network. He is one of the biggest reasons that the Gamergate article on Wikipedia remains the shit-show it is, alongside dipshits like Mark Bernstein, continually doing mass edits and reverts to attempt to shut down anyone who adds facts that incriminate their side, and while both have been banned, they are seen edit-warring to push their angles
constantly. Banning didn't stop him from continuing the assault; he did so
via proxy warriors and
under sock accounts.
It's not just corruption and autism you get with Ryulong, though; he has some outrageously funny tendencies that are common to other Wikispergs, made, impossibly, more hilarious by how shitty they are. He constantly defends weird fucking bad translations in Japanese shows as legitimate, often to the point that even the show's creator telling him to fuck off or legitimate Japanese people telling him he's a fucking Autist aren't enough to get him to stop.
In short: He camps articles once he decides they're his, believing that only he alone can decide what they say, facts be damned, constantly goes after people for tiny offenses, behaves like the Wikipedia version of Kim Jong-Il, constantly edits articles to insert his own talking points, and throws sperg-fits when people tell him no. It's only because Wikipedia's system was so easy to abuse - and the fact that
he had friends in high places - that he lasted as long as he did, and now that he's banned,
he's still waging these shithead assaults from off-site.
If you haven't seen our own
@LordKaT's
video on his idiocy on the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure wiki, do so; it's fucking amazing.
The tragedy of it all is that Rationalwiki is trying, in a few ways, to unfuck itself. Before you start laughing at this, know that they weren't
always like they were now. There's users and even staff on the site that want it to be like it once was. Many feel this is a fool's errand, ultimately doomed to fail, because ultimately Rationalwiki is outright infested with Social Justice and anyone who edits on behalf of something the SocJus tards don't like (something that happened during RationalWiki trying to get GGers to edit the GG article into something resembling legitimacy) will face constant autistic shrieking and attacks. It's ultimately shoveling against the tide, and while I don't think it's
impossible for Rationalwiki to eventually fix its shit, the fact that Ryulong was able to be a metastasized cancer for so long on the site despite his proven history of abuse and corruption going in is a fucking damning indictment. They need to scorched earth the problem sysops to even
begin addressing the site's problems.
