This is one hell of a rug pull.

It's more common in fanfiction than official works but it is a real popular thing. An interesting tidbit is that the woman who popularized it is not the original creator of the concept and the true orgins of it is a mystery, which is much more fitting trivia than "is found in gay stuff."
 
Dukaj is (was?) the golden child of our incestuous SF scene, as in our homegrown James Joyce - autistic artist that writes books probably only he fully understands, which is why a lot of fart huffer critics consider him good. The least they understand from his writings, the more profound they have to be.

He wrote "Ice" which I heard being promoted a lot at a time. What I found was 1000+ pages of mathematical masturbation.
 

BlueAnons complaining Trump faking his own assassination "its not a conspiracy theory". Shoe's on the other foot now, huh?

I thought I heard all of these, guess I was wrong. Does every BlueAnon trash theory deserve its own article?

This is Melania's sister Ines. Not all that strong of a resemblance is there?

I noticed alot of these seem to originate from the dumbest parts of blueanon twitter or shit the wikipedos saw on the View or Rachel Maddow.
 
I often make drive by posts in this thread, because its so easy to see something dumb in Wikipedia and share it.

But I think I hit a motherlode, finally: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Grnrchst/David_Woodard_report

In late 2024, something quite astonishing happened on Wikipedia that has gone by largely unnoticed. For the first time, the Wikipedia article with the greatest number of languages was not a country like the United States, nor even Wikipedia itself. This article, with 335 articles across the different Wikipedia projects at the time of writing, was about a relatively obscure artist named David Woodard.

People who have come across this have expressed surprise, and even noticed that a large amount of the articles were created by a single user by the name “Swmmng”. Upon my investigation into this oddity, I discovered what I think might be the single largest self-promotion operation in Wikipedia’s history, spanning over a decade and covering as many as 200 accounts and even more proxy IP addresses.
Guy makes hundreds of accounts over 10 years across over 300 different language wikipedias.
 
That was fast :thinking:

Why yes, the country that most Americans know due to Pan Am 103 and the murder of American diplomats is truly one of the United States' greatest allies.
 
Their article on the Memorial High School stabbing goes out of its way to avoid mentioning Karmelo Anthony by name, settling on euphemisms like "the accused," even though his name is public knowledge. What makes this even funnier is that 23 of the 51 sources cited have Anthony's name right there in the title, and these can be found in the references list nobody will read, but the article itself never mentions it. Despite their "reliable sources" fetish, they'll still selectively omit things like that if it doesn't further the narrative.
