1. Despite multiple requests for the community to improve this article, no one has added any content to make this subject suitable for inclusion on RationalWiki. Fragile YouTube citations with no context are now dead links, and apparently nobody cares to find appropriate citations. Some citations are very suspicious. Linking to Kiwi Farms as a source? Our community should be better than this. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 14:10, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

   In which context are the citations suspicious? If you mean that they are not trustworthy enough as sources, then it would be up to debate because the disgruntled stalkers of Kiwi Farms can get a lot of information about whomever they want in very little time. I did not know personally that Mister Metokur's real name was Jim for instance. Otherwise if you mean by that they are bad optics for RationalWiki, in which case I can whole-heartedly agree with you. After all, Kiwi Farms is a forum full of the worst people on the internet. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 17:28, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

   Interesting that the article presently has no reference to Gamergate at all. Our Gamergate article, despite having over three hundred citations, has no mention of Mister Metokur or "Internet Aristocrat," supposedly one of his earlier aliases. There is another exposé on medium that calls him a white supremacist among other seamy things. This isn't in our article either, except for a single unsourced claim that he used the N-word once. I wouldn't be against a complete rewrite on this subject if any of these details is included. But as it stands now, the article here is complete crap. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 16:04, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

• I hadn't heard about the guy in a while, so I took a quick look-see into what he's been doing. He's only made one 11-minute video on Bitchute in the past year, and his social media presence appears to have been pared down to his third(?) Twitter account after two of them were suspended. Even if missionality were established, I'm not sure he's really even relevant anymore.

@CheeseburgerFace, since it looks like you've been doing many of the edits on this page, your thoughts? ℕoir LeSable (talk) 14:35, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

CheeseburgerFace hasn’t edited in a few months, and hasn’t been active for just over a year. I doubt you’ll get a response. Christopher (talk) 14:59, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

• Basically me right now, delete if you want, don't if you don't want to. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 17:28, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
