Infected RationalWiki - Whiny hugbox for spergs and a clusterfuck of neverending drama on a rapidly declining website.

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

I stumbled on the article the RationalWiki has on youtuber Sargon of Akkad, who often makes anti-SJW content.

I found so many factually inaccurate statements, blatant attacks on his character and out of line comments that I thought, "there's just no fucking way this isn't satire". But no. These people are serious. They're not like Encyclopedia Dramatica like I first thought, you know the guys who write a bunch of crap for everyone and everything and call it satire. RationalWiki actually claims to be rational, which blows my fucking mind. These people are so dettached from reality that they think writing mean articles about someone makes them true.

The first of many faults I found is in the top lines, which is a quote from Sargon of Akkad:

SJWs are impervious to reason and are busy self-congratulating in their echo chambers and do not have any grasp on reality. —Sargon of Akkad, whose sense of irony was surgically removed

-RationalWiki, the epitome of an echo chamber full of self-congratulating SJWs that are impervious to reason and who have no grasp on reality

See, this is why I thought it was satire. We're reaching levels of irony that shouldn't have been possible even in actual satire.

This site should not be trusted for anything. There's NOTHING in their piece of crap article to give them credit for in the way of being non-partisan and objective; it's pure SJW propaganda. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

Also, to be fair to RW they never really claim to be non-partisan and objective. Snark and sarcasm (always) and bias (often) are their modi.

Problem is the website just uses the "snark" cop-out to avoid admitting that it's just a left-wing version of Conservapedia whose members actually take that shithole seriously, unlike sites like ED who are well aware that they're satire. If you point out something that's blatantly defamatory or misinformation, they can always just fall back on the "oh we're just a satire website" when called out.

There are more edits there about "GamerGate" or "Anita Sarkeesian" than there are about science, yet according to their main page they're a place for "refuting crank science and authoritarianism" or whatnot.

Laurelai Bailey's shitty SJWiki, which unimaginably makes RationalWiki look objective and well-research by comparison, doesn't have a dedicated page for racism, and its page for sexism is one paragraph long and just links to other forms of -isms or phobia (half of which are red links). Compare this to pages-long hit pieces against Thunderf00t and other YouTube personalities the author doesn't like.

Yup, and therein lies the problem. And it is one that some members tried to address (unsuccessfully) sometime last year. That coincided with a couple of notable RW members posting at KiwiFarms and the episode is quite well documented here.

Like I said above, a number of the older articles debunk crankery as well as anything you will find but the rest of the site? Nah.

Regarding the Sandflapjack sperg that has become the new Ryulong at RW, it is a Cohen buddyloid. I vaguely recall seeing it before but didn't remember that it is the same as the RW autist until now.

I think the only thing more cringy than a bunch of basement dwellers banging on about Jews and black people is someone obsessively studying and recording the language these basement dwellers use. What's even the point? It's not like members of the alt-right make any attempt to hide who they are.

Yup, spot on. Bunch of lame-ass cunts who do not disguise that fact, so this initiative from @FuzzyCuck is completely pointless.

RW has long had this weird obssession with dog whistles.
