Cool Freaks' Wikipedia Club is a 37,000+ strong Facebook group where you can post cool and freaky Wikipedia articles. All you have to do is make sure you follow the rules:

Spoiler: Cool and Freaky Rules

FULL NUANCED RULES HERE
• http://bit.ly/cfrules (english)
• http://bit.ly/CFrulesSE (swedish)

• NO jokes about trigger or content warnings (abbreviated to tw/cw) [instant ban]

• Post commentary with more “serious” natured posts (trigger warnings do not count as commentary by themselves)

• Feel free to help discourage racism, misogyny, transphobia,
homophobia, etc; those of you that participate in it will be banned.

• Remove graphic previews for your articles please!
[It's no longer possible to do this after an article has been posted so any posts with graphic thumbnails will be deleted instantly, feel free to repost without.]

• Content and trigger warnings are appreciated IF APPLICABLE (i.e. don't add one if it doesn't make sense! posts don't always need them):

examples for tw/cw:
• food
• rape
• (animal) abuse
• eating disorders
• sexual assault
• violence
• (trans)misogyny
• homophobia
• gore
• graphic nudity
• racism
• ableism
• suicide
• psychosis
• drug/alchohol use
• murder
• self injury
• spoilers
• subjects of common phobias: spiders, birds, vomiting, clowns, etc.

Except even if you do follow the rules you still have a chance of your post being deleted/getting banned for no reason because mass banning is the only thing the mods do.

Everything is triggering. TW for exercise and cell phones:

Here's an argument over how "white and western" Wikipedia is ending with a Cool Freak claiming calculus was invented in Africa thousands of years ago using Google as a source, then defending his lack of proof with "they didn't call it calculus":

Spoiler: Banned Topics (tw: david bowie)

BANNED TOPICS, instant delete, no questions asked:
• David Bowie
• Democratic People Republic of Korea
• Gamergate
• Nazi Germany
• Serial Killers
• School shootings or any sort of mass murder
• Genocide
• War/ Battles (exception: Emu War)
• Trauma Trigger/ Trigger Warning
• Zionism
• Culture-bound syndromes
• Bugchasing
• Casu marzu/anything posted with a gross thumbnail

Another set of rules (because apparently one right on the sidebar isn't enough)
Trigger warnings and what the group is triggered by
The entire Cool Freaks catalog. Just in case one Cool Freaks group isn't enough, though it's safe to say none of them have achieved the notoriety of CFWC. Also, they don't have Cool Freaks' Jews listed so it's antisemitic.

(also this is my first thread ever hopefully it doesn't suck too bad)

food

Why is food a trigger?

Looks like we've found a worthy successor to our dear Krüppelführer's Polyamoury group.

Why is food a trigger?

Supposedly because it can trigger people with eating disorders, IIRC.

The White & Western Wikipedia Wars continue despite having lost all relevance to the original link like 15 comments in. Of course it ends with someone getting banned.

How cool! How freaky!

I know how VICE likes to troll and exaggerate a lot, but those examples in that article are actually fairly mild compared to the sheer insanity of that group. I am starting to believe it is some sociopathic /pol/ mass experiment in lel satire at this point.

and yes, I am still faintly butthurt over being banned a few years back, despite my best efforts to play nice, if you're wondering .

So it's the internet North Korean comedy club where the definition of funny changes with each new buzzword, "disorder" and trigger warning invented, and you will get banned in due time because they probably look at your fb page to make sure you're a good little sjw everywhere.

I know any time I see a forum or group online, and the first thing they show me is a long list of ways to get banned, I immediately NOPE the fuck out of there. If I need to watch everything I say and do, it's more trouble than it's worth.

exception: Emu War

I don't know why they think killing animals is OK

Any group like that is probably a lolcow farm.
