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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
The RW page on Emil O. W. Kirkegaard, the suspected dark lord behind the takedown effort, has been purged.

Here's an archive of what it used to say

And some of the plaintiffs:
Jonathan Anomaly
Russell T. Warne
Michael Woodley of Menie
Jonatan Pallesen
Jan te Nijenhuis
James Thompson
Noah Carl

The lawsuit by Noah Carl was voluntarily dismissed so it looks like he got what he wanted.

Also found Curtis S. Dunkel who no longer has a page either. The archive from June 1st says he has filed a lawsuit but I couldn't find it. I guess he's one of the new batch of eight.

Possible but not guaranteed.

If (and this is a huge if, IANAL) I am reading the post right the mods are pulling some corporate sleight of hand where the old LLC that currently owns RationalWiki is being dissolved + or - concurrently with the formation of a new LLC that will assume ownership. Since the defamation suit was filed in New Mexico and the old LLC's ties to that state are the only reason venue is proper there, dissolving the LLC should force the suit to be dismissed. Refiling against the LLC would make no sense since it will no longer exist and the suits against individual members would have to be refiled in appropriate venue(s). Depending on the specifics of the case this could take the form of a single lawsuit against all of them or lawsuits against individual members. Again, IANAL but my understanding is that suing them all in the same suit requires there to be more of a connection between the defendants than just allegedly defaming the same plaintiff. So if forming the new LLC goes as planned, the new LLC + the site itself should be protected in the short term.

In the longer term there are several ways this could still kill the site - the new LLC could fail if nobody joins the board for fear of being sued. Given that the Kirkegaard guy who filed the first suit has a huge chip on his shoulder, he could recruit some other plaintiff whose page was not deleted to sue and effectively nullify the benefits of forming the new LLC.

I also have a hard time believing that there is no way to either keep the old LLC alive for the purposes of the suit or hold the new LLC, which is transparently an attempt to reconstitute the old one without the legal issues, liable for posts made while the old LLC was still in existence - if an LLC can dodge potentially or certainly ruinous suits by disbanding then effectively reincorporating in a different state, it is very hard to believe that RationalWiki would be the first ones to figure this out.

The other way the site could die is if it starts settling these suits by deleting pages . . . at which point the floodgates would open, swaths of pages would be taken down to avoid litigation, and the site would be so hollowed out that the userbase would probably go away.

ETA: To be clear, the mods are most likely hosed - unless they live in a state with a strong anti SLAPP law and find a competent defense attorney so confident s/he can win on an anti SLAPP motion that s/he agrees to work on contingency, the costs of getting through a motion to dismiss alone are liable to be 4-5 figures and it seems like Kirkegaard is more interested in making them bleed than shaking them down for a settlement.

Also, if you want to troll Atheism+ SJW/Smughtiest hybrids, just point out that James Randi is a sexual predator who when not valiantly disproving the Loch Ness Monster and bigfoot spends his time defending child molesters as a member of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation.

I did the trolling lol. For the first time it’s something that isn’t instantly deleted by the mods like my other attempts, just something that has been moved to the troll section called “Kiwifarms is a reliable source, trust me”. Big case of cope I’ve ever seen.

Since I seen other people talk about certain articles from that godawful site, I want to express my bitch moment. The article that I though most of is “Women in the military” where they attempt to justify why sending a group much weaker than men is a ok as long as they pass an arbitrary standard that almost all women can’t get in.

Women in the military - Rationalwiki

The introduction is basically gaslighting people that all progress is good. Then a history that is ripped straight out of Wikipedia. Then random arguments from various people were used to “debunk” anyone from being obtuse about female vs male strength, using the technology argument as a way for more people to die for Israel in the name of freedom and progress, and whining about tradition. Finally they quoted numerous random generals and why women dying in battle is so brave and inspiring.

One point of interest is the section ‘Statistical averages do not make a women’. I’ll show you the article in question:

The biggest argument against women in the military tends to be that *on average* women tend to have less physical strength or endurance then men, and there may be some truth to that fact. However, this completely ignores the fact that militaries across the world have hiring standards which include physical fitness. The only people allowed to enter the military are the ones who meet those fitness requirements, regardless of their sex or gender. It might be true that, on average, a randomly chosen women off the street would be less likely to meet those requirements then a man, but that doesn't really matter because our military is not made up of people randomly pulled off the street. All that matters is how fit a women actually serving in the military is, and if those women had to pass the same fitness requirements as men then they should be expected to be just as fit as the males they serve with.

By contrast there are, without a doubt, women who not only meet but surpass the fitness standards of most militaries. So why should such a women, who is physically more fit then men actively serving in the military right now, be told she is unfit just because there exist other women who are not as fit? Should we not judge the fitness of a soldier based off of their own, personal and demonstrable, physical fitness rather then based off of some statistical average that includes a bunch of folks who will never try, or succeed, to enter the military?

First, this argument is only valid if we were to ignore the concept of sexual dimorphism. They only care if women pass a test or not and not about their actual potential. Secondly, they assumed that there are women that pass fitness test because, it just is okay! Finally, it all culminates into “How dare you not accept people based on their totally arbitrary difference I swear! That’s so unfair and mean and shit.”

The reason why it sticks to my mind is because it’s basically the main argument that 60s civil rights advocates use and the fact I couldn’t come up with a coherent response.

There’s more cancerous articles like this but this one specifically made me constantly sperg out about this garbage website even though I should have done something productive.

So apparently they don’t know what caring is. A Quick Look on something isn’t really caring. Also these faggot care way too much about optics.

Should someone remind them that it’s now 13/61. Also, distortions in 13/50 is a very bad claim considering the vast majority of Blacks did indeed commit the crimes.

Here are some gems from their "manosphere glossary"

Losing your house, car, kids, and half your income forever is like "losing a bit of money" to these demons. Man up and slave away to support the strong independent woman, goes the progressive! They try to further deboonk it later...

...but look at that, "citation needed". They can't support their misandrist downplay lmao.

Wait, they think anti-woke people had a melty over Stellar Blade? It was woketards who wouldn't shut the fuck up about how a conventionally attractive woman was female genocide. What is this gaslighting nonsense?

In their attempt to deconstruct the alpha male mindset, they shout down any man who doesn't bow before the pressure to act like a playboy as some coping lonely insecure loser, therefore reinforcing the alpha attitude they hate. Also this Dora incident sounds crazy but it sourced a paywalled article, go figure.

Looks like they took those memes a little seriously. Is this not what they call "media illiteracy"?

So now saying personality matters is bigoted. That was their favorite refutation since forever. But alright then.

Orange man won the 2016 election and because they see the orange man as gigaturbohitler rex, anyone choosing him over her for any reason is incomprehensible to them.
