A few months ago, Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger was indefinitely blocked from editing the site after trying to push back against ideological capture and anti-Israel bias. Today, he dropped a thread highlighting a massive new 200-page investigative report by Ashley Rindsberg (for NPOV Media) that documents in detail how a small clique of power-editors hijacked Israel-Palestine articles.

\[Link to Larry Sanger’s thread / breakdown:\](https://x.com/lsanger/status/2115053648505897140)

The TL;DR of what the 200-page report covers-

The 6 Editors: The report zeroes in on six notorious veteran accounts—Nishidani, Iskandar323, Selfstudier, Levivich, Makeandtoss, and Nableezy, who were finally topic-banned by Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) in the PIA5 (Palestine-Israel Articles 5) case.

How They Did It: Instead of acting as neutral encyclopedists, they operated as a coordinated tag-team. By weaponizing Wikipedia’s complex bureaucracy, camping on Talk pages, and harassing/exhausting anyone who brought balanced sources, they systematically rewrote foundational pages (including Zionism, Israeli history, and ongoing war coverage) to push revisionist propaganda.

The Core Problem Remains: While ArbCom finally stepped in and banned those six accounts from the topic area after years of abuse, the actual edits, framing, and structural bias they baked into hundreds of articles were never rolled back. Because pages are locked under "extended-confirmed" restrictions and consensus rules, the distorted versions they created remain the "status quo" on Wikipedia today.

Why It Matters Beyond Wikipedia? Every major AI model (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, etc.) and search engine scrapes Wikipedia as objective "ground truth." When six coordinated operatives can rewrite history on Wikipedia and lock it in place, it automatically poisons the training data for the entire internet.

Sanger calls the report "damning" proof of how broken Wikipedia's neutrality has become when a tiny group of ideological activists gets entrenched.

All the time here i see exhausted comments that are like "Oh shit when will this ever stop" and it's insane to me because compared to 2020, things are actually changing very rapidly. Do you guys remember how insanely woke 2020 was in the games industry?

The same on twitter, i see a lot of people who probably lurk here argue with deranged wokists trying to appeal to reason, guys, they are being disingenuous, they are pretending the culture war doesn't exist, because THEY ARE LOSING THE CULTURE WAR.

Asian developed games are smashing records, western woke developers are getting the axe, however every week i lurk in this subreddit i see the same comments/posts of people blackpilling, feeling or just exhausted which i totally understand, because i am too.

We all are exhausted, that's why we started voting for our wallets and stopped buying the garbage slop.

This is the turning point literally, for an entire industry, the deranged woke people want you to give up and just conform.

TL;DR I am also exhausted from the culture wars, but do not let their disingenuousness fool you into thinking it doesn't exist, they started the culture wars, want to exhaust you, tire you, and eventually want you to just shut up and consume the slop they agree with. Buy games that treat you the customer as the priority, save your money on all the garbage slop, and eventually we will burn the industry down enough that they will never dare to do it again.

Just find a certain subreddit of a generally well recived game and look at what a mess it is, with the mods and anti-chuds lmao. Not even sure why discourse is happening right now and for how long, when the game is out for over half a decade...

As a hint, this game just received an update (2.5) because of its anime getting a second season.

Even normal people are fed up with these idiots in the comments.

Not only is GTA VI going to be normie slop with all the edge of a soccer ball, it’s unoptimized slop at that.

And it will still sell 100 million copies.

hey shout-out you guys for keeping this damn website grounded. in a cesspool of bullshittery, its nice to find some light. cheers everyone

You can consider this post a sequel of my dark romance rant, as I wanted to discuss the hypocrisy of liking X things while criticizing other people for liking similar things.

"Live and let live" is an argument leftists love to swing when people complain or disagree with certain topics. But these same leftists who love repeating "live and let live" like parrots are the first people who don't allow others to live. I especially see it when gender roles and (sexuality in general) are discussed, because this kind of behavior isn't just something that happens online:

• They complain about parents not wanting their sons to play with toys for girls nor their daughters to play with toys for boys. But at the same time, they force their sons to play with toys for girls even if they don't want and force girls to play with toys for boys even if they don't want (arguing it's "inclusive" and teaches their kids to be "tolerant").
• Feminists love to preach how women should do whatever they want, and how it's fine for a woman to work in traditionally masculine jobs. But they hate it when a woman willingly chooses to be housewife or a tradwife (arguing tradwives and traditionally feminine women are just pickmes, sheeps who were brainwashed by the patriarchy^TM, or even whores asking to be abused by an evil man).
• Also, many normie people (especially normie women) who don't have issues calling men incels lose their minds when a man, for whatever reason, refers to women as "foids" and "femoids." Sorry, but if foid and femoid are sexist, dehumanizing terms, so is the term incel.
• Female-only spaces and hobbies are sacred sanctuaries which must be respected, but male-only spaces and hobbies must be invadeded, subverted, deconstructed, and turned into shit because those spaces are inherently misogynistic, gross, creepy, weird, and must be destroyed because it's a threat to normie women.
• The crux of safe horny. Fanservice is only fine if it's muscle mommies, tall women, or just things that make women and gay men happy. But fanservice and things that make straight men happy are evil and dehumanizing.
• Those who cannot be named here want their pronouns and identities to be respected... or else. Yet, they harass and bully detransitioners, try to groom egg-crack people (and even children) who just happen not to follow traditional gender roles (like tomboys or femboys), rewrite history to say people who crossdressed in the past were just like them (ignoring any kind of nuance or context behind the reason why they crossdressed), use the terms "cis" and "cisgender" to other people no matter how many times they are told to stop using those terms, and lie about their own identities in order to sleep with straight men (which is rape). And that's without getting in the "SAY SHE!!!" tantrums, the mass shootings, and the harassment campaigns over anyhting related to Harry Potter and JK Rowling (poor Pikamee).
• The LGB side of the LGBT political lobby isn't exempt from those behaviors either. They complain when a heterosexual person engages in homophobic speech or behaviors, complain when straight men don't like gay characters being included in The Legend of Korra and Kingdom Come Deliverance, and complain over the biological reality that straight men react find guy-on-guy kisses and gay porn disgusting. But they're extremely hostile and cruel towards heterosexual people, celebrate the deaths of conservative Christians, try to make non-sexualized environments (like school-teaching) as hypersexual as possible, Drag Queen story hours and hypersexualized pride parades, and accuse heterosexual people of being homophobic for not wanting to have sex with them (and in some awful cases, they get too pushy and sexually agressive in order to achieve it).

This is because "live and let live" is a taunt rooted in revenge. The first people who

This post is a bit more personal, because I perfectly understand the psychology behind "live and let live."

I'm a heterosexual man. But I had liked some traditionally feminine content since I was a child (such as magical girl shows like Winx Club, fairies, mermaids, and I got to watch some of Barbie's animated films), I don't like many sports (the only sports I like are swimming, tennis, and padel), and I would like to marry a tomboy.

I understand the pain a lot of people would have felt for being different. Being insulted, bullied, mistreated, and marginalized for not being traditionally masculine or traditionally feminine, for having "unusual" hobbies, or for being different overall.

And because of that, I find these people's hypocrisy when it comes to "live and let live" despicable. Because those who repeat "live and let live" are the very people who don't let other people live.

Many of these people had been called pussies or sissies or whatever slur, bullied and even physically beaten, or just mistreated for deviating from the norm. But instead of coping with it in a mature way, they grew up resentful and hate-filled, and eventually choose to harm those who aren't the same as them.

• A man forcing his son to play with dolls despite his favorite toy being a Batman action figure?
• A girlboss dismissing tradwifes and accusing them of being whores?
• Censoring content that straight men find sexy while also hypocritally allowing dark romance/smut content to be untouched?
• The word with four letters and two L letters being taboo while muscle mommies being fair game?
• Teachers talking about sex in front of their children?

Those things are just acts of revenge aimed at those who had marginalized them in the past and those who hadn't marginalized them ever but just happen to belong to the same collectives as the people who did marginalize them in the past.

Nonetheless, these people don't realize something: hatred only creates more hatred, and the more hatred a person receives, the more hatred that person is going to send back.
The more you hate and abuse a person, the more that person will hate you and your kind, and the more will take pleasure at your misery. Because it only takes enough hostility, hatred, mistreatments, and abuses to radicalize someone.

• It's why people are subscribing to "tolerance is the virtue of those without moral conviction" and "the rewards of tolerance are betrayal" with more frequency.
• It's why the terms foid and femoid are becoming used more frequently, and why more people want to repeal the 19th.
• It's why some people applaud when female-only spaces are invaded and turned into shit, and why people applaud when content that makes women and gay men happy gets censored.
• It's why the terms beta and soyboy are so commonly used against men who aren't traditionally masculine.
• It's why the terms "alphabet mafia" and "rainbow mafia" exist; because these people show the exact same behaviors as mafia (guilt-tripping, blackmailing, threats, and even outright murder).
• It's why anything LGBT-related is now inherently viewed as woke propaganda.

Narwitz (formerly Sophia Narwitz) made a video explaining why activists are their own worst enemies. And Leaflit has made more than one video explaining how activists' strategies to earn acceptance are completely retarded.
Because these activists, with their cruel and violent behavior, literally make themselves hated.

If "live and let live" were not a taunt, these people would live their lives and respect other people who want to live their lives.

Does the Emperor win any relevant battles or duels in it?

In The Master of Mankind, he gets defeated by a daemon and has to sacrifice a Custodian while he himself retreats wounded.

In Fury of Magnus, Magnus destroyed his physical avatar and was about to kill him.

During the Siege of Terra, Horus was consistently winning their psychic duel.

During their final fight, Horus was beating the Emperor (who was no longer holding back like in the original lore), and it took outside intervention to distract Horus.

Ollanius Persson almost killed the GEOM during their argument.

In The Wolf of Ash and Fire, a Beast (maybe, or simply an Uber-Ork) was about to crush him until Horus saved him (and no, it was not the same Ork as the one on Ullanor; the writers just reused the same plotline).

Does the deity of the Imperium ever, you know, win a damn fight in the new canon?

The closest I can think of was when he brought Lorgar and his legion to their knees, but Lorgar wasn't fighting back at the time. There is also the killing of Mortarion's adoptive father, but the latter wasn't even aware of the Emperor until it was too late. Still, a win is a win.

So I ask those more knowledgeable than I: does the Emperor have any significant wins in personal combat throughout the Horus Heresy?

Here's the review.

Summary: It was reported today that Sucker Punch will be letting go of 24 staff after their last game, Ghost of Yotei, sold less than half the number of copies of their previous game, Ghost of Tsushima.

"After carefully observing the challenges in the market and reviewing the team needs for our next project, we've decided to make some staffing reductions. Several positions across Sucker Punch will be eliminated as a result."

"We know this is a lot to take in, and we want to assure you that we did not make this decision lightly. We have given this a lot of attention and worked to support our affected colleagues during this transition as well as we can. … There's no getting around that this is a hard day. Next week we will go into more details about the future"

Didn't they say ghost 2 was more successful than 1 ? Lulz. Insomniac likely next if wolverine doesnt sell more because that game budget was isnane. they expected massive number of sales from it

Fired ppl already looking for work

https://i.ibb.co/ymqRz8cY/Screenshot-20261026-213505-Opera.jpg

They claim they are some of the most talented dev ever... yes that why you all got fired. crazy

Phantom Blade's 88 MC is the same or similar as Saros, Gear of wars E-day and Mixtape, I am pretty sure people are very opinionated about those games.

I don't think site reviews means anything at this point, so let's be honest you can only use them to either reinforce your existing view point or justify a bias, the only thing matter is if you think your money worth it or not.

Activate the subtitles. It's right at the begining of the video. It is saying:
" ln the foreseeable future, when Western game creators are stuck in a creative rut, held hostage by political correctness, and bound by highly industrialized commercial logic, producing one mass-produced, industrially garbage game after another, then let Chinese game creators teach them a lesson and make them relearn what a high- quality, content-rich AAA game should look like."

I don't expect people here to empathize with my points since I know that all fans of sexy male characters have attacked female fanservice, and I also condemn them specifically because I'm bisexual not gay, and also that my problems are too specific to myself but I also feel that if I don't get this out of my chest I might die.

Does any male anime fan that is attracted to male characters kinda hate that you are expected to like bara?

I completely despise bara and I'm a man, I kn

There are things I hate really strongly: female yaoi fans , and feminist Yuri fans, but something I hate really hard is the complete virtue signaling superiority complex of some bara fans and how they treat their precious genre.

You have to always have the same taste like if you are a hive mind, you have to always like either super buff men or super fat men.

I would not hate them nearly as much of they decided that they loved bara just because they liked that type of male character, but when they have to talk about how much superior of a design bara and how other male characters are so fucking generic, when a lot not all but a lot of their art is the same tanned man with the same face and expression is funny.

The second thing is that people assume that just because geikomi are stories written by lgtb people for lgtb people that they are more purer and the whole representation thingie and don't have muh problematic tropes and muh toxic dynamics, when a lot of their content features cousin x nephew incest, some have even made something called shotabara, or what about the author people hail when talking about gay representation in Japan gengoroh tagame, who wrote about multiple rape stories including father x son incest, or what about bara gacha games like crave saga, I would be much more sympathetic to them if they didn't have that pathetic superiority complex.

And third of all because of barafans people tend to assume that every male attracted man into anime should be into bara, and you can't like bishounens because only women are allowed to like bishounens, and if you are a man who is attracted to male characters you must like bara, and not every male attracted man is the same

Has it never come to them that you can rate games based on gameplay?
