Over 2 million monthly users. They also operate a woo site called Welt im Tropfen --> Here's a pdf with their findings and here is the psiram article of one of the authors Bernd Kröplin. In the homeopathy video, a scientist was cited who allegedly belongs to a department that doesn't exist at the Uni Stuttgart. There is really no "Aerospace Institute" at the Uni Stuttgart. There is an "Institute for Aviation Systems", an "Institute for Airplane Construction", an university course called "Aerospace Technology" at (among others) the "Institute for Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics", an "Institute for Aviational Propulsion", an "Flight Mechanics and Controls Lab" and a few other with a connection to Aerospace topics, but not "Aerospace Institute".

109

World of Lucid DreamingCreate draft: 400,000 monthly views. Relevant research: Lucid dreaming exists as a measurable phenomenon (also this and this) but that's about as far as you should trust the site. Bob_M's review: "Its suggestions on how do reality checks while dreaming, what to do about false awakenings - where people dream they have woken up multiple times - along with their description of sleep paralysis are all pretty good. Just don't buy any supplements or machines." But see this mishmash of new age folk psychology and Jungian symbolism. They peddle lucid dreaming supplements, lucid dreaming books, lucid dreaming products and the likes. The woman running the site, Rebecca, also offers an expensive lucid dreaming course, which she uses the site to advertise for. (and use those three to expand this). Reverend Black Percy (talk) 13:56, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

55

For example, a headline read: "Sweden: est 77% of rapes committed by 2% Muslim male population – Crime statistics".

4

With Canadian election season quickly approaching, articles on new party leaders and prime ministerial candidates Andrew Scheer and Jagmeet Singh would probably be appreciated by Canuck RWers, or at least a more up-to-date expansion of their parties' pages (Conservative and NDP) commenting on their new platforms in response to Justin Trudeau's government

32

43

The Anatomically Correct BananaCreate draft - an alt-right clog full of barely sourced multi-thousand word screeds like Year of the Cuck, Pungent Musk of Success (where they use an ambiguous tweet by Elon Musk as a jumping-off point to claim him as redpilled Anti-Semite, and a proxy for a woke white European "Faustian Man" doomed to self-destruct between the pressure from Jews and Muslims), or The Jewish Kvetchion.

3

The Hebrew Hammer is a 2003 comedy film written and directed by Jonathan Kesselman. The plot concerns a Jewish blaxploitation crime fighter known as the Hebrew Hammer who must save Hanukkah from the antisemitic son of Santa Claus, who wants to destroy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa and make everyone celebrate Christmas. While the film was somewhat controversial for satirizing common Jewish stereotypes, it has retained a cult following. In 2017 a sequel titled 'The Hebrew Hammer Vs. Hitler' was announced as part of a crowd funding campaign. The sequel is a response to the rise of online antisemitism brought on by Donald Trump's election.

Chapel Hill shooting. In 2015, Craig Stephen Hicks shot and killed his neighbours in the late afternoon. He later turned himself in to Pittsboro police.

Needless to say, the results were not pretty.

89

Alignment FallacyCreate draft: The assumption that X and Y must be the same just because they oppose Z.

Prostate massage/milking. At times used during prostate exams for legit medical purposes, and also for individual sexual purposes. However, there are proponents who claim that prostate massage or milking can prevent prostate cancer and bring other health benefits. There have also been some statement on medical websites online saying that it could spread prostate cancer if present. This is an issue that I think warrants a RW article on.

7

John Pilger is an Australian journalist and BAFTA award-winning documentary film maker, but according to Wikipedia, he is a strong critic of American, Australian and British foreign policy, which he considers to be driven by an imperialist agenda: it seems to be bordering on conspiracy territory, but it does not hurt to investigate.

Each point listed presents a claim for questioning the authenticity of Christianity.

It has been largely exposed as the work of fantasists, but provides an excellent example of fake news, conspiracy theories, and how people can believe horrible things without evidence.[5][6]

10

Red Christmas - an Australian pro-life Christmas horror movie wherein a stranger born from a botched abortion returns to take revenge on his mother[7]. There's apparently a detailed making-of doc Horror Movie: A Low Budget Nightmare. If anybody fancies watching this and writing a bit, that would be a noble deed.

23

Alfie Evans case - I know too little about medicine to do this but he was a 18 month old British toddler who passed away recently after his life support system was cut off after his doctors realised that he would never recover from his condition and that leaving it on, as well as moving him to Italy as the parents wanted to do would merely exacerbate and prolong his suffering. Before his body was even cold, people around the world were condemning the doctors who did so as murderers and making death treats against them. Notably it has become a media sensation in the US as an emotional argument as to why socialised medicine is evil.

95

14

The Believer is a 2001 American drama film directed by Henry Bean and written by Bean and Mark Jacobson. It stars Ryan Gosling as Daniel Balint, a Jew who becomes a Neo-Nazi. The film is loosely based on the true story of Dan Burros, a member of the American Nazi Party and the New York branch of the United Klans of America. He committed suicide after being revealed as Jewish by a New York Times reporter. While the film has been well praised, especially for Gosling's performance, unfortunately the film has been dangerously misinterpreted by many Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups as being pro-antisemtic and pro-racist.

20

45

47

Michael CaputoCreate draft Christian apologist who runs the hilariously named website http://atheismexposed.tripod.com/index.htm and attempts to "debunk" atheism and "prove" Christianity. He wrote several books which involve copy and pasting a list of Christian figures which unsurprisingly have no ratings.

21

Alex McFarland, a delusional, fanatical, and deranged far-right extremist who hosts the radio show "Exploring the Word" on American Family Radio and has served as Director of Teen Apologetics with the hate group Focus on the Family. He is a raging homophobe, Islamophobe, anti-evolutionist theocrat.

15

Laura Huhtasaari. Think Marine Le Pen, but with more overt racism and sex appeal. Currently in charge of the True Finns party, the xenophobic party of Finland, but is getting international attention due to, well, racism in Scandinavia seems to be something alt-righters are obsessed with. Also, a Creationist.

46

FelicifiaCreate draft; Imagine LessWrong, shrink it to about 1% of its size, and focus it exclusively on utilitarianism. Last posts were in April, and not much activity went on in total, as members predictably decided doing other things was more "utility-maximising" than maintaining the forum. Even so, it still provides crankery galore, with its self-professed utilitarians reaching some interesting conclusions. I.e. donating to human-focused charities is less efficient than to animal ones because humans living better and longer will make more animals suffer and so cancel out all the gains. However, both are inefficient right now, and true path is to accelerate neuroscience giving people (and animals) "entirely euphoric lives", which must be possible because "euphoric" surgery is possible now. Another is belief in a "welfare state for animals" that'll eliminate suffering in the wild by, amongst other things, wiping out the predators and protecting insects (high return on investment for doing so.) Also contains many links to webshites with similar ideas like this detailed plan for "overcoming our natural species conservation bias" and wiping out all predators.

3

Angel Ramirez-Jordan, Cynthia G, Radical Homegoddess, Taurean Reign, etc. A clique of black supremacist YouTubers.

41

Roger Waters, the former frontman of Pink Floyd has in recent years gained controversy for his anti-Israel rhetoric both on stage and off.

10

David Suzuki, the ever-renowned Canadian environmentalist. Given his fame, some scrutiny (not necessarily condemnation) is warranted.

75

mobile phone or cellphone: there are mentions in Radiation woo and microwave and an article on Electromagnetic hypersensitivity, but RW could do with a more detailed article on the research into mobile phone safety, as well as more recent topics such as the smartphones are damaging kids/adults hysteria (Parents Against Underage Smartphones does have an article, but smartphones are ruining your relationship apparently).

8

Wilfrid Fox Napier, a South African Cardinal who is championed by Breitbart for his extreme pro-life rhetoric. He is also already name-checked here for his older comments claiming that Catholic paedophiles should be treated, and not punished.

100

Collagen, the protein which is key for our skin make-up. Beauty industry had long capitalised on it with creams, injections, etc. Recently, drinks and other such supplements appeared, as reported here and here, even though collagen obviously doesn't survive going through the digestion system. More dubious links[11][12][13][14][15] Skeptical: Arthritis Research UK[16]

21

Juicero, the $400 juice machine that received tons of funding before anyone realised it only worked with sachets you could squeeze by hand anyway. This a clear example of irrationality by itself, but to add extra juice to the story, its CEO is a raw water fan as well.

47

Ian FletcherCreate draft a pro-protectionism writer on economics who denies the concept of trade wars. Wrote the book Free Trade Doesn't Work and has a column on HuffPo.

73

Cough medicine and claims that it does not work.[17][18] There seems to be an idea promoted by various alternative healthcare practitioners and critics of conventional medicine/drug companies/etc that cough syrup is completely ineffective, thus indicating that all modern medicine is a con.[19] Criticisms of OTC cough medicine are not always unjustified: a Cochrane review found a lack of evidence of efficacy in treating accute coughs due to the poor quality of existing studies[20], the NHS in the UK recommends drinking honey and lemon instead[21], and unless you have a serious underlying disease like TB, coughs tend to be self-limiting. However, cough drops and codeine might be beneficial[22], cough medicines can also help you sleep[23], and cough medicines can help with coughs from non-viral causes.

45

Balloon releases, in particular their impact on the environment/wildlife. They are commonly done to celebrate or to commemorate something. Detractors claim that balloon releases result in the deaths of wildlife, whereas the balloon industry claims otherwise. A very hot button issue.

Estus Pirkle was a Baptist minister from New Albany, Mississippi. Alongside director Ron Ormond, he was best known for creating and starring in his own Christian exploitation films. His films included If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? (anti-communist propaganda that makes Red Dawn look sane by comparison) and The Burning Hell (Pirkle's interpretation of what the Bible has to say about hell and why it should be believed and feared). Both films can be watched on YouTube, and you can also watch the Cinema Snob's reviews of the movies.

41

Gad Saad, A Lebanese-Canadian evolutionary psychology professor known for criticizing almost anything islam while being a staunch defender of Israel. He has a youtube series called "The Saad Truth", which has featured the likes of Dave Rubin, Milo Yiannopoulos, Carl Benjamin, among others. He also had some... interesting things to say about racial profiling here.

13

Camp of the Saints - a 1973 book by French "author" Jean Raspail that is a popular reference point for alt-right in regards to the refugee crisis and such. Given that a pdf of it is available online, it's best to do a chapter-by-chapter breakdown to show what people like Steve Bannon and his fans actually praise when they refer to it. Chapter One already describes people on migrant ships as "ant columns" and "microbes in a culture", and bemoans that "scorn of a people of other races, the knowledge that one's own is best" was quashed by "the monstrous cancer implanted in the Western conscience." There's also praise for South Africa at the time as "white nation with eighty percent blacks, not a black nation with twenty percent whites" and what not.

44

Fellowship of the MindsCreate draft - a batshit insane right-wing conspiracy theory blog. Groups its content under tags including Sandy Hook Massacre (alleging it's a false flag), Boston Marathon bombings (ditto), Police State/NWO, St. Michael's Prayer Against Evil (various allegations of Satanism), Creation (guess what) Leftwing Pathology and Islam/Jews. Recent content includes alleging Roy Moore lost due to black voter fraud based on Reddit screenshots.

23

Muscular Christianity was a philosophical movement that originated in England in the mid-19th century, characterised by a belief in patriotic duty, manliness, the moral and physical beauty of athleticism, teamwork, discipline, self-sacrifice, and "the expulsion of all that is effeminate, un-English and excessively intellectual". This movement spread to other countries in the 19th century. Today this movement is well entrenched with athletes, most notably Tim Tebow, Manny Pacquiao, Josh Hamilton, and George Wilson.

31

The Billy Graham rule or Pence rule is a practice among male Protestant Christians, in which they avoid spending time alone with women to whom they are not married. It is named after Billy Graham, the most notable proponent of the practice. It is adopted as a display of integrity, a means of avoiding sexual temptation, and to avoid any appearance of doing something considered morally objectionable, but has been criticized as being sexist.

50

1791LCreate draft - A right-wing YouTube channel that's been operating since March 22, 2016 and accumulated 256k subscribers and 45m views since then. It seems to envision itself as a right-wing counter to The Young Turks and Vox's presence on YouTube, and several of their videos are made explicitly in response to them: What Vox missed about sanctuary cities, Vox's messy explanation of "extreme creators", How Cenk Uygur smeared his own reporter, etc. Other stuff includes How Khan makes it harder for London to fight extremism, A Worthless Agreement (about Paris), and Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Cult of Science. For bonus irony points, How CNN threatened to dox the WWE Trump meme is preceded by Inside the lives of top Trump tweet repliers

Supersessionism, also called replacement theology or fulfillment theology, is a theological view on the current status of the church in relation to the Jewish people and Judaism. It holds that the Christian Church has succeeded the Israelites as the definitive people of God and that the New Covenant has replaced or superseded the Mosaic covenant. This doctrine has been said to justify anti-Semitism within fundamentalist Christian and Islamic circles.

Daniel KinchCreate draft - a guy on Quora with >1500 "answers" who describes himself as "author of work on near-term human extinction based on AGW". Claims that global warming will make humanity go extinct before 2026. Believes that "clathrate gun" (the supposed millions of tons of methane under the North Pole) will be the trigger, and uses nothing but links to "brooklynculturejammers.com" to justify said belief. Effectively, a more extreme version of the "Nature Bats Last" Guy McPherson, who is already profiled on here: a doomsday prophet either dispiriting those still capable of helping or making the entire field look ridiculous.

Scared Straight! is a 1978 documentary directed by Arnold Shapiro. The subject of the documentary is a group of juvenile delinquents and their three-hour session with actual convicts. It had several follow ups including Beyond Scared Straight on A&E, which Shapiro served as an executive producer. This article should explain why this type of juvenile rehabilitation program and other similar programs are outdated and ineffective in deterring criminal activity. These types of programs can also be harmful and increase delinquency relative to no intervention at all with the same youths.

Tony Katz is a radio personality and political pundit who claims that America is "at war" with Mexico, apparent defender of the RFRA, calling its opponents "liberal fascists", coined the "Racer" theory (i.e., that anyone who disagrees with Obama must be a racist), and all-around wingnut. In the most basic of terms, he's a younger Rush Limbaugh.

Megalodon, the most overhyped predator in history. A lot of information about this giant shark is put out all over the internet, and a lot of it is terrible. This article could debunk a lot of the crap people say about megalodon, as well as give some basic info about it. Given how it's such a popular thing to talk about, how have we not gotten an article about megalodon yet? Sandbox page here, open for editing.

The Portable Atheist compiled by Christopher Hitchens. It contains a huge selection of atheist writings from middle age philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes to enlightenment philosophers like David Hume to 19th century philosophers like Karl Marx to Modern philosophers such as Bertrand Russell to present day new atheists such as Sam Harris.

The Good Book: A Humanist Bible written by noted atheist academic A C Grayling. It's a book written in the style of the Bible but instead of having religious texts and quotes, it has secular ones instead. It's suppose to show that inspiration, morals and a general guide to life can be secular and areligous.

Braving RuinCreate draft. Previously known as Edgy Sphinx before he got exposed for being an alt-righter just pretending to be moderate so he could dog whistle and introduce alt-rightism to centrists, Braving Ruin has such gems on his channel as De-Platforming = Death youtube, "Centrists" are liars (which is a totally not extremist thing to say) (YT again) and a video about (((Google))) (his anti-Semitic Triple parentheses, not mine) (more YT). He currently almost has 10,000 subscribers and over 150,000 views as well as over 4,500 twitter followers.

The Olympics and the World Cup. Beneath the manufactured, feel-good veneer of athletic prowess, international unity and wholesome fun lies a dark reality, which host cities, thankfully, are starting to grow more privy to. Both of these events invariably result in tremendous financial net losses for host cities, both require the construction of venues which, more often than not, are never thereafter used again and which, more often than not, are constructed by migrant laborers subject to borderline slave-like conditions, and both, finally, are essentially money-grubbing opportunities for their disgustingly corrupt organizing bodies. Plus, they're basically dick-measuring contests for countries, aren't they? Are games in which people run around in a circle as fast as they can or kick a leather sphere around really worth looking past all this?

Standing desks, or Dangers of sitting depending on the planned scope of the article. Standing desks are being heavily promoted right now as a cure for the serious and crippling health problems caused by our lifestyles of sitting in the car, sitting in front of the computer for eight hours, sitting in the car again, then sitting in front of Netflix for five hours. The studies that have been done have links to standing desk manufacturers that were not disclosed in the papers, and do not show as much positive effect on these problems as claimed. Independent studies show that standing desks do increase physical activity but have no real effect on cardiovascular health; there is emerging evidence that (as anyone who's ever worked retail will tell you) standing on the job is even more damaging to the body; and the frequent canard that hours spent sitting undo the benefits of exercise is not based on any evidence whatsoever. There is even a danger that the standing-health link will be used by ruthless airlines to make flying even worse. Related to the Alexander Technique, the more zealous promoters of which have been known to claim that the chair is the most harmful invention of mankind. (Most Alexander technique teachers are quite happy to use chairs so long as you sit up straight, though.)

Jewish expulsions as proof that Jews are somehow bad.

BearingCreate draft. Australian Youtuber, antifeminist, skeptic and general bigot and wingnut. His videos are mainly just roasts of feminists, fat people, transgender and gender queer people. He also targets tiny YouTube channels, and hides behind a cartoon avatar of the bear from Total Drama. In 2017 he made a video where he explained why he was going to vote no to making same sex marriage legal in Australia. He has over 460,000 Youtube subscribers, almost 300 vidoes and over 63,000,000 views. Listed on our religion webshites page. Is extensively and scathingly described on Encyclopedia Dramatica, and is also covered on Everipedia.

UndoomedCreate draft. Youtube skeptic and atheist. Does a lot of anti-feminist vidoes but has also recently done vidoes against BLM aswell. His main gimmik is that his avatar is slenderman and he has a pretty cool voice. over 310,000 subscribers, over 32,000,000 views and 163 videos.

World of Warcraft. The MMO video game for excellence, that has been around for 13 years (and counting) having millions of subscribers. Given its popularity, that it's precisely a video game, its genre (fantasy) and what it entails (Dungeons & Dragons-lifted off stuff as elves, orcs, etc, paganism, magic, demons, dragons, undead, etc.), those reports of people who got addicted to it often to negligent extremes, and sucking more than a black hole, I'm more than sure it will have been the target of Fundies and the like (not to mention sensationalist/dishonest reporters). There have also been a few times when the game got social flak, for things like disbanding a guild for stating they welcomed gay people, and forcing a player-character named "TwoGenders" to change its name. Plus, there was the Corrupted Blood incident.

Rwanda, an East African country with progressive (given its area) laws on homosexuality.

Semen retention: A form of alternative therapy based around the theory that men who do not ejaculate semen gain superpowers from retaining more masculine essence, such as increased physical strength and various psychic powers. (Think Fortunato from the Wild Cards books.) Derived from an extremely liberal reading of Tantra, and currently promoted by great thinkers such as Mike Cernovich, the Proud Boys (a bunch of wankers who claim to be "no wank") and various bodybuilding and alt-med cranks. While it's partially covered by Masturbation and NoFap, the former is based on crank theories about negative results from masturbating, not the insane claimed benefits of not masturbating, and NoFap is a specific subculture within this larger movement. I think we need a general and, uh, as tasteful as possible overview about this sticky subject.

Plant-based enzymesCreate draft: Various businesses and "medical professionals" (who lead said businesses) say that "plant-based enzymes" are apparently not denatured within gastric acid in order to sell them as food supplements. Examples: [43][44]

Kaiser Wilhelm II - Ruler of Germany during World War One and coiner of the term "Yellow Peril". While the Entente powers were far from innocent either, he did certainly help escalate tensions with other nations with the naval arms race and ending Otto von Bismarck's policy of not pissing off Russia. After losing the war, rather than blaming himself, blamed the Jews and argued they should all be gassed. I wonder how that turned out?

Spoon theory, the mental health taxation thing. Even Wikipedia's article on the subject lacks any mention of evidence for or against the theory. A skeptical treatment is sorely needed somewhere.

Jeff DurbinCreate draft is a pastor at Apologia Church in Tempe, Arizona. At first glance, he looks like your typical American hipster, but looks can be deceiving. He's a fundamentalist and is the leader of the Red Door Ministry, a radical anti-abortion group that believes that any woman who gets an abortion should receive the death penalty. Along with picketing outside his local Planned Parenthood, Durbin hosts a weekly show on his YouTube channel, Apologia Studios.

A Patriot's History of the United States, a textbook created as a "truthful" reply to A People's History of the United States and all the leftist bias in history books. Contains trace amounts of global warming denialism, Obama citizenship denial, whitewashing of anything bad that ever happened, and probably other bullshit. This is sometimes used as a complimentary textbook or the main textbook (!) in US history college classes or Advanced Placement courses.

Greg Palast A far-left Journalist "forensic economist and activist chalk full of incredible sounding stories supported by laughably bad evidence.

Daryl Gates was the Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) from 1978 to 1992. He was highly controversial due to his hardline, aggressive, paramilitary approach to law enforcement. He also earned notoriety for his controversial rhetoric on many occasions. Some of the most notable examples of this were: that infrequent or casual drug users "ought to be taken out and shot" because "we're in a war" and even casual drug use is considered "treason" and his dismissive response to concerns about excessive force by police employing "chokeholds." In 1982, Gates attributed several deaths of people held in chokeholds to the theory that "blacks might be more likely to die from chokeholds because their arteries do not open as fast as they do in 'normal people.'"

The online Hapa community (or another title along these lines). There exists a moderately sizable, moderately vocal online community of half-white, half-Asian men pissed about the ubiquitousness of interracial couples composed of white men and Asian women, and who claim that having been born from such pairings themselves has bestowed them with mental illnesses, an inability to attract women, and hopeless futures among other things (they often cite Elliot Rodger as one of their numbers). r/Hapas is easily the community's principal watering hole; Model Minority is another. While the fetishization of Asian women is certainly a legitimate issue, this community often approaches the level of whininess, narcissism and misogyny characteristic of MRAs, MGTOWs, and Incels.

Reich-Wing WatchCreate draft is a YouTube channel dedicated to exposing any far-right individual and group who's political philosophy parallels that of fascist leaders like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

39

FisherofMenCreate draft, one of the oldest members of Youtube's Conspiracy community (And probably one of the craziest). Notable mostly because he was arrested in 2016 for threatening to attack what he believes are enemies to Christianity/America if some vague crisis happens (read: Gays/Non-Christians). While some of the more pleasant cranks like WhiteRabbit just simply hopes he gets better from his "Illness", FisherofMen has recently been released and is now framing himself as one of the first "Christian Martyrs" of the New World Order, despite his trial and sentencing being publicized.

Trumpwave is a subgenre of vaporwave and synthwave that focuses on Donald Trump. Vice writes that Trumpwave exploits vaporwave's ambivalence towards the corporate culture it engages with, allowing it to recast Trump as "the modern-day inheritor of the mythologized 80s, a decade that is taken to stand for racial purity and unleashed capitalism".

McDonald's coffee lawsuit is an infamous lawsuit usually brought up to show how obsessed Americans are with suing people. However the lawsuit is far more reasonable with the plaintiff suffering third degree burns, originally suing only for medical expenses and the coffee itself being so hot it was considered unfit for consumption which was an issue that McDonalds knew for years.

12

McMansion is a pejorative term for a large "mass-produced" dwelling, constructed with low-quality materials and craftsmanship, using a mishmash of architectural symbols to invoke connotations of wealth or taste, executed via poorly thought-out exterior and interior design. Note: A previous attempt was deleted in 2012.

49

Brett KeaneCreate draft, who apparently was the original YouTube atheist, being the inspiration for all others like TheAmazingAtheist et al., although he has since alternated between christianity and atheism, mainly because of plagiarism and vote boting his videos, as well as being an e-begger. Today has a very small audience. His wife divorced him due to domestic violence.

127

Cult of SaturnCreate draft, an ambiguous, but obviously evil (and nonexisting) cult that Conspiracy Theorists like to invoke when their Apophenia isn't working enough for the usual, boring Illuminati symbols to be shoehorned. Simple things like cubes and rings are proof of some grand Conspiracy. It is a common scapegoat for Christian End Times, and Illuminati Predictions and Conspiracies. A couple of examples

Straight pride is a slogan that arose in the late 1980s and early 1990s and has been used primarily by social conservative groups as a political stance and strategy. The term is described as a response to gay pride adopted by various LGBT groups in the early 1970s or to the accommodations provided to gay pride initiatives. Straight pride backlash incidents have generated controversy and media attention. School policies and court decisions regarding freedom of expression have drawn particular attention, spotlighting individuals protesting school expressions against harassment of LGBT adolescents.

Foreign Workers in Asia and the Middle EastCreate draft. To support their families, people of low socioeconomic status from developing countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines often travel to perform unskilled labor in capacities such as domestic service and construction work in nouveau-riche countries such as Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Singapore, wherein they are often subject to borderline slave-like conditions, including rape, domestic abuse and non-payment of wages, against which they have no means of legal recourse.

25

Male gaze red linked on sexual objectification, the name is used frequently in feminist analysis in the arts and humanities, though it is used somewhat less in psychology or sociology. The article should also include the lesbian, gay, hetero sexual female and trans equivalents of the visual cues of objectification. On one hand the my face is up here T shirt makes a valid point, but on the other hand telling someone their glance hurts you or that their gaze makes the stars collapse outside the village menstrual hut can make them feel like Scott Summers; perhaps a see also for the evil eye. What constitutes an inappropriate amount of gawking can be difficult to quantify and varies by individual and culture but is a major and nebulous societal issue, while wearable tech that can record video complicates the issue.

58

War on HalloweenCreate draft Not actually a phrase that's thrown around in the news like the War on Christmas is by Fox, but many churches actively oppose the celebration of Halloween and even secular groups have opposition to both the supernatural inspiration of the holiday as well as certain costumes derived from historical hate groups such as Nazi's or the KKK. Any costume with fake weapons is also prohibited in many schools and ethnic stereotypes are also frowned upon at universities, which technically should include Egyptian mummies, Voodoo zombies, werewolves made from gypsy curses and vampires with thick Transylvanian accents. That basically leaves costumes appropriated from European mythology, animals modern jobs, dressing up as your biological ancestors, something without weapons from Comicon, bigfoot and aliens. Does your child need to be both in a wheel chair and bald to inoffensively dress as Professor X for Halloween, or just one or the other?

Inception the 2010 film about experiencing and interfacing with other peoples dreams through technology, compliments the article request for the equally fantastical Interstellar. This Forbes article mentions a team in Japan and can reconstruct simple black-and-white images the subject is viewing by analyzing the blood flow in the brain’s visual cortex. According to Dr. Jack Gallant "“I think it’s legitimate for some people to have some concerns about brain-reading technology being used for bad things, but nobody has to be worried about one of those bad things being writing stuff to the brain.” [50]
