/// MIDDLE-MOUSE-CLICK ENABLED SCROLL DOWN /// WOT WARNING ///
The RationalWiki is well-known as a SJW infested site, currently about to ruin the project altogether. A few older (maybe two or three) or influental editors are apparent Hordelets. A new guard of anti-GamerGate-style SJWs has taken hold of many main articles and they seem to annoy the other editors a lot.
But it's quite baffling: those other editors are adamant that SJWs don't exist and it was all just a "snarl word" made up to tar good folks on the left side. So the majority acts like a "Third Party" that claims to be neither SJWs nor against them, but are defacto enablers of them -- which is in a nutshell exactly what happens in the overall secular movement.
Ryulong and SJW Kerfuffles
One particular pesky SJW named "Ryulong", apparently well known to the lulzy side of the internet, had taken over the articles on Anita Sarkeesian, GamerGate etc and has turned them into a massive wall of Gish Gallop. It's that thick and filled with distorted minute detail that even editors on RationalWiki profess they never made it through. He also did this on Wikipedia but managed to get banned there, as one certain drama site wrote:
ED wrote:"Ryulong soon became head white knight of Zoe Quinn alongside Ironholds and defending the GamerGate Wikipedia article from the taint of objectivity".
Quite typically, extreme SJWs have a free reign for most of the time, while you see nothing similar on the fabled obsessive other side. On RationalWiki, the editors do nothing about it and even shielded Ryu against occasionally invading GamerGate edits. Yet Ryu still managed to annoy everyone. He eventually felt a crippling sense of being misunderstood, apparently over such important matters as -- I kid you not -- My Little Pony, and then stormed off in a flounce. Of course, he's expected back soon. This kerfuffle is explained
here by some kind of Wiki watch reddit.
To sum that part up, somehow the SJWs are allowed in and tolerated, annoy everyone, but aren't seen as a thing. It's also not admitted that drama follows them around. For some reason, also one moderator stepped down which seems unusual, too. There is a sense of decay in the community. On the talk pages you see occasional SJW tactics and 100% SJ bot programm, just in totally dull. I guess they are really teens. To give you one idea: they will automatically revert anything I do to any SJ article out of principle, even when I add in confirmed and factual material that isn't even controversial. Their heuristic is something like: "anti-SJW edits something to Sj article, must be against our interest, let's sabotage it!" which fits right into their whole mindset where the truth isn't important, but only what's useful to them. The community isn't in a great shape and seems withering like Atheism Plus. But of course, it's nothing. SJWs don't exist.
Gerard Kerfuffle
One hordelet that plays some bigger role is David Gerard, who turns out to be the "owner" (in some sense) and technical admin of the RationalWiki. His leanings seem to be, as usual obscure to the others there. I've seen him posting on Pharyngula and he's clearly a massive fanboy. His protection in edit wars and some likeminded posters cause that many articles on RW whenever they are closer to the Social Justice League turn grotesque, for example the one on PZ Myers and Atheist Ireland.
This perfectly neutral and factual reporting was removed, and replaced with a
fantasy version (current).
Mr Gerard is mostly busy with holding his hand in protection over the likes like Ryulong and other SJWs, which other people apparently find annoying but following the denialist pattern are determined to overlook. The SJW curry favour to him, and do their usual SJW stuff, slandering and smearing, bad faith argueing and edit warring. They also claimed, fantastically, that I attempted to dox David Gerard, because I once mentioned his name here to make the point that there's a connection to Pharyngula. But that's just his name he uses everywhere.
It's literally his signature and username. The SJWs haven't pushed that hard, know their accusation is complete nonsense but characteristically still nobody calls them out on it. That tells you something. Oh, they also created two or three sock puppet accounts(!) just to annoy me, attempted to delete a page in user-space (i.e. sites attached to your profile which are generally left alone), revoked user rights and more shenanigans. Bovine "third side" users then complain that I point out that they have a SJW infestation. However neither I nor anyone of merit takes them or the situation seriously, and it's all quite dull.
More actual drama is produced also by the other side: For some reason, David Gerard has currently to do with the Matt Hopkins berk. Maybe you rememember that episode where this "witchfinder general" who speaks of himself in the third person annoyed Oolon and his blockbot business. This time he wrote a formal complaint mail to David Gerard and RW and threatened legal action, and I see there is also blogging about it. He accuses Gerard of being a paedo-defender, but this individual isn't exactly reliable, so take this with a near-lethal dose of salt.
I haven't bothered to look into that sideshow, but I had my spat with one of the lower SJW minions who defended Sarah Butts even after being shown her paedo-edgelord concession. Nothing unsual here, either. SJWs accuse you of being in league with Doxxers and worse by Insane Troll Logic, but when turned around they
really become mad apologists of obvious paedophiles.
