Some autist was sharing her favorite songs on the Mario wiki. And she immediately uses the homophobia card because she's an lesbian and Lady Gaga is...We all know how that story went.

It seems like you (and probably me) are the only ones interested in this topic. While this is about the community, I am very into criticsizing the bad design and mentality behind fandom. They see themselves as a nerdy community rather than an encyclopedia hosting site.

About that, they're more along the lines of an content farm, than anything else. Since they generally don't care about what the retarded portion of their userbase creates as long as it isn't NSFW racist, or otherwise kid-unfriendly. They also want people to sign up to avoid the intrusive ads, but even then you'll get an really obnoxious one on main page of most wikis. And as of today, you'll have to be an active editor in order to see less ads.

Or use the "Indie Wiki Buddy" extension since, in addition to giving you the less fucked up wikis of compatible websites, it also acts as an ad-blocker for Fandom, making sites far more usable.
 
So, do any of you remember how there was quite a few lgbt wikis floating around, a few years ago? And that the company consolidated most of them into a completely serious one and another one for flagposting,

Well the grim news is that there's was an unironic pedophile in the serious wiki. Don't worry, he's been permanently blocked and his appeal was denied. But hey, it was bound to happen, eventually.

In a bit of an SNCA update, there's been a bit of an unsaid rule on people hijacking message walls to provide an immediate answer as opposed to just waiting for a staff member to respond in a day or two. And it turns out that it's an bannable offense

An bit of an update. It's apparently over derailing an message wall thread to talk about some corrupt admins as an anecdotal explanation. But Sannse still isn't buying it
 
You know, every time that I look at the Gender Wiki once every few months; they've managed to become even crazier. Like, "please go find a shrink" type of deal.

So, someone is offering an role-playing service as characters from Sonic the Hedgehog (mostly). But the kicker is that they have multiple personalities who are quite conveniently Sega-themed. Which leads to interactions such as an random character giving their own opinion on something instead of a different character.

REEEING about other people REEEEING about how obstructive closed captions can be. And also complaining about going through a period of derealization

Autistic hatred for the great apes because the OP also hates humanity

There's an lot more; but there's also the high likelihood that most of them are just kids with an Wi-Fi connection and a Tumblr account.

biggest amount of autism has to go with this world called the "Johnsonverse"

This has been my jam for a while because of the level of batshittery and its propensity to pop up in absolutely random web searches. It's convinced me (along with a couple other 'alt-history wikis') that there's some kind of autism need to design the dictatorial company that Fixes Everything, kind of like the skitzo controlling machine delusion but less evil.
 
So, a while back, the company has been using AI to translate a few wikis in a attempt to attract more people. But more importantly, they've also didn't inform the public that they'll be relying on AI to do it. when public opinion was actively against it.

Fandom has claimed this little venture to be an partial success and is feigning ignorance on being unable to read the room

I heard a story about this logo of a Russian video production company being literal kryptonite for logo fags because it's "scary" or something.

Isn't that normal for them it has some type of abrasive noises attached to it? It's the same reason why an lot of media autists hate this sound test

I mean, 99% of logo fags are probably literal children or actual autists/assburgers. This type of logo would easily appear scary to a child because of its visuals or autists because of the sounds especially in VID's case.
