I have no idea how anything that article says relates to Wikipedia, GamerGate or Wu. Unless he's accusing GooberGaters of taking sneaky upskirt/creepshot pictures of Wu or something.

Amazing. There were no stupid people on the internet prior to Moldbug informing people of the dangers of the Cathedral.
Probably just English as second language people which Mark wants to bully and shame.Is that even true?
It's pretty out there, but have you seen Randi's chimpout over Mike Cernovich's "rape threat"?the "Vivian James is a rape joke/threat" thing is possibly the funniest thing anti-gamergate has ever come up with that isn't "(insert troon here) is a woman".
It's to "take back" frogs because Pepe made Hillary cry during the election. I don't know why it's in blackface.Why does he have a black Kermit as his Twitter avatar?

Wasn't Sommers a Hillary supporter to begin with?Here we go again. Mark sperged out after Christina Hoff Sommers (who Mark was arguing to not label as a feminist on Wikipedia earlier in the year) was joking about some vandalism to the List of countries by salt production.

@Jaimas "You understand, of course, that the mascot you depict also represents a threat to rape and murder female game developers?"
Mark doesn't seem to understand the basic concept that just because someone says a thing doesn't mean it's true.
Like the "Wikipedia doesn't care that they were implicated in a suicide". Of course they don't, because it's absurd. Nobody kills themselves over what a Wikipedia page says about them, unless you're either extremely mentally imbalanced or too fragile to survive in the real world anyway. Neither of those things are Wikipedia's fault.
Jeez Mark, you'd think the girliegropers were killing trannies or something.
Posted to his user page November 24, 2014 (emphasis mine).Never mind: "ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ZOE QUINN" opposite a picture of a pretty young woman apparently makes a spicier Wikipedia page.
Consider, I beg you, how Wikipedia might appear the day after one of these female software developers is raped or murdered, as reporters from every major newspaper and from every major university pore through our talk pages for insight. Consider, for that matter, how we will appear when these discussions are critiqued by gender theory scholars, as our continuing unjust sniping at DiGRA (a small game studies conference) assures they will be. The remaining shreds of our reputation now depend upon the restraint of the least patient and most extreme adherent of Gamergate. (If the impossibility of a static image depicting rape strikes you as an argument within the boundaries of polite discussion, I believe your local university will have several experts willing to tell you otherwise you.)
Today, Wikipedia is an important resource but its reputation is tenuous. Students are told not to cite it and never to trust it. Scholars can no longer claim Wikipedia as professional service. Everyone uses Wikipedia but no one admits it. If Wikipedia is known as a place where rape apologism and prurient speculation will be rehashed and expanded and examined over and over in the hopes of a more dramatic section heading -- if Wikipedia cannot moderate these impulses, then Wikipedia will not be merely a secret resource: it will be a shame.
In the end, I spent a long night imagining a meeting with an imaginary, angry Zoe Quinn who asked: "How can you work with such people? How can you support them?" I cannot. I cannot support or countenance this, nor should you, dear reader, lend your time and energy to this noble but failed endeavour.
Mom faces charges of negligent homicide after leaving son in car

Ashly V. Duchene was released from jail on Wednesday at approximately 10:15 p.m. and transported to an unknown location for medical related issues, according to Det. Charles Scubella of the Maricopa County Sheriff's office.
She remains under medical supervision by the Maricopa County Sheriff's office as of Thursday morning.
Just one day before 17-month-old Ryan Gallagher died after his mother left him in a car outside the Hooters restaurant where she worked, his father, Clayton Gallagher, asked to take full custody of the boy, a court document shows. advertisement
Duchene, 22, who was arrested about 1:15 a.m. Wednesday on suspicion of negligent homicide in the death of her son, remained in a Maricopa County jail late Wednesday while family members waited for hours, expecting her release.
The relatives refused to comment about the death of the boy, who had been left in the car for seven hours. His mother told police she forgot to drop him off at day care.
Court records show Clayton Gallagher had spoken on the phone with Duchene for 1 1/2 hours the day before Ryan's death. She told him that she "couldn't do it anymore" and she didn't want Ryan around because he cried so much. She also couldn't stand not seeing him every day and rebuffed Gallagher's offer to take him.
Court documents and police painted a picture of a troubled 22-year-old who did not make her son a priority. But one friend disputed that image, calling Duchene a "wonderful" mother who recently had a lot going on in her life.
Court documents say that Duchene had attempted suicide at least once, and Phoenix spokesman Sgt. Joel Tranter said interviews with family members and close friends revealed that Duchene was an unhappy mother. Those close to Duchene said she wanted her freedom and did not make the child a priority.
Duchene told authorities that on Monday she almost forgot Ryan in the car but remembered he was there before going to work. Ryan, she said, had been in his grandfather's care for a few weeks and she was out of the habit of dropping him at day care.
Ken Elliot, a regular at Hooters, was close with Duchene and Ryan.
"She's wonderful, and she's a wonderful mother," Elliot said.
Elliot has frequented the restaurant for the past decade and said Duchene was his favorite waitress.
He cried as he recounted discovering the baby and told of how he and witnesses laid Ryan in the bed of one man's truck and tried to keep the waitresses and Duchene from seeing the baby until authorities arrived.
Elliot said Duchene was so devoted to her son that after the two had been separated for a few weeks, she took a day off to be with her little boy.
He added that Duchene had been working long hours to help pay bills and support her current boyfriend (not Gallagher), who was injured in a motorcycle accident and out of work for the past month.
On Wednesday, Elliot, several other regular customers, and many of Duchene's co-workers talked to members of the Phoenix Fire Department Crisis Response Team.
"I think it's harder on me than a lot of the girls," Elliot said. "He was like my great-grandson."
Melanie Gulmetti, regional marketing manager for all Hooters restaurants in Arizona, said the company was deeply saddened by the tragedy and Duchene had been a waitress at Hooters for 2 1/2 years and was well liked by co-workers
Consider, for that matter, how we will appear when these discussions are critiqued by gender theory scholars
