I agree with TPP guys, I’m sorry. Even bad sex with dem asian ladies is soooooo good. You can never tell why they’re crying, because of the culture, or your girth.

Looks like Wikipedia is sexist as fuck. I’m actually surprised at this one, but I should have known better because it involved people from the internet. Let’s take a look:

She got into the habit of Googling her username, just in case. That’s how, earlier this year, a Wikipedia editor who goes by the username Lightbreather discovered that someone was posting images on a pornographic website and falsely claiming they were her. (The images were linked to her username; Lightbreather has been careful to make sure that no one on Wikipedia knows her real name.) A Google search of the poster’s username led her back to one of her fellow editors.

The photos were only the latest of several incidents of harassment. In 2014, Lightbreather made a request to the Wikipedia administrators: a space on the site to discuss ways to enforce Wikipedia’s civility policy, one of the site’s “five pillars” which says editors should always “treat each other with respect and civility.” In a page set up to discuss Lightbreather’s request, the administrator Eric Corbett told her, “The easiest way to avoid being called a cunt is not to act like one.”

Soon after, Lightbreather was invited to join the Gender Gap Task Force, a project by Wikipedia editors to examine why so few women participate on the site and why there’s a lack of coverage of notable women. A few days after she joined, she says, a male editor who had expressed support for Corbett’s comments against Lightbreather began popping up on the task force’s discussion page—and others soon followed. The male editors would “show up [in online discussions] and say stuff like, ‘Well, show us evidence that there is a gender gap,’” Lightbreather said, even though Wikipedia’s article on its own gender gap states that between 84 and 91 percent of editors are male, and that the imbalance “contributes to the systemic bias in Wikipedia.” She quit the task force a few days later.

Then, in January 2015, Lightbreather proposed a women-only space on Wikipedia for female editors to support each other and discuss the specific barriers they face online. The proposal was part of the Wikimedia Foundation’s Inspire Campaign, launched to fund projects aimed at closing the site’s gender gap—but users took to the “oppose” section of proposal’s discussion page to promise to “fight this to the death.”

“It’s just incredible how much hatred was spewing out of these guys. … When you have a bunch of angry people show up on the doorstep of a new project you’re trying to get off the ground, it drives away a lot of people who might have been interested,” Lightbreather said. Her idea for a Women’s Wiki didn’t get funding from the Foundation, but others are currently trying to create something similar.

What a bunch of pathetic losers. They are really gonna go after women on Wikipedia? Why? What fucking benefit does this bring? Oh, and you know it gets better:

But challenging the status quo on Wikipedia is no easy task. All the Wikipedia contributors interviewed said that if a woman wants to last as an editor on the site, there are certain fights she just doesn’t pick.

“When you put ‘feminism’ in anything on Wikipedia, all hell breaks loose,” said Stierch. “I’ve been called a Feminazi more times than I can count.”

“The lunatics are running the asylum,” she added. “And the non-profit that operates it can’t even control them. What do you do when you don’t have a principal to tell all the kids to behave?”

That’s sad. If you don’t come and identify as male on Wikipedia other editors will go out and search for your personal info and harass you.

And one more quote:

Women like White, Temple-Wood, and Stierch are working towards something like balance. A few years ago, Stierch ran an edit-a-thon at the Smithsonian to create Wikipedia articles for women in science. Among the pages that the volunteers created was a page for Nellie Brown, a scientist in the early 20th century who saved all the oranges in Florida from disease, essentially preventing Florida’s economy from tanking. **It was nominated for deletion within two minutes, **she said. But it’s there now.

lol at these bunch of assholes going after women scientists. Get the fuck off of the internet, nerds.

In all seriousness, where is the news site?

Whoops, meant to link it before. I closed the article so I won’t be doing it now. It’s from The Atlantic.

You’re asking for rationality from a person joining a religion at 45, dude.

Come on hahaha.

Cyntalan · October 21, 2015, 10:57pm

RockB actin’ like it’s just Catholicism that is runnin’ wild with pedophilia… :lol:

odin · October 21, 2015, 11:02pm

Ya but the Catholics are pretty good at keeping them safe and relocating them to places where they can diddle around with little boys and no one will care.

Rick_Ross · October 21, 2015, 11:03pm

Pressed WTF for using a Tobuscus gif.

Dude is mad retarded. :looney:

Cyntalan · October 21, 2015, 11:09pm

If you can color inside the lines on adderall, you’re a fucking beast and you deserve the respect and praise due to one who is capable of such feats.

ThePurpleBunny · October 21, 2015, 11:34pm

That guy isn’t wrong. Star Wars caters to whites. Jar Jar is that movie’s blackface.

Gamegeezer · October 21, 2015, 11:37pm

I see what he’s referencing. It’s a stab at the music industry beef people had with white artists “taking” black culture. Not that i care for either side, but just wanted to state the obvious “i c wat u did thar”
