This article seems distasteful. The guy is genuinely mentally ill. CowHouse (talk) 09:20, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Yeah. Also, Wikipedia covers the same content we do so what's the point?—HamburgerPlate  (talk • stalk) 15:32, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

It's probably worth mentioning that this was briefly talked about in the Saloon Bar a while back: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/RationalWiki:Saloon_bar/Archive259#TempleOS 95.150.80.238 (talk) 18:05, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

So I was going to add a remark, but then I realized that I don't quite know what I'm talking about.

I was editing this page to add some extra comments (mainly a "ha ha, obvious pun is obvious" remark about the wordplay of C+ → C† and Holy See → HolyC), but then I saw the quote reading "The CIA niggers glow in the dark, you can see em' if you're driving, you just run them over. That's what you do." and I immediately thought of "glownigger" from the alt-right glossary. I wrote up a side note lampshading the connection and wondering if it was intentional, but then I realized that I'm not aware of enough facts to make a statement on this and I need to do more research. Here's what I was going to say: {{efn|A connection to the alt-right concept of a "glownigger" may be possible, but unlikely. (Davis died in 2018, and Gamergate and the modern alt-right began taking shape in about 2016. Actual research on the timing of this comment is needed.)}} The obvious issue is that I may be pulling the start date of Gamergate out of my ass, and since I didn't actually look at the cited YouTube comment, I don't know when it was made. Thus, my observation about a possible connection between Davis's "CIA niggers glow in the dark" and the more generalized alt-right "glownigger" might fall flat on its face. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? --Luigifan18 (talk) 17:21, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

The alt-right glossary page says that Davies is the origin of the term "Glownigger" Ioe bidome (talk) 17:27, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes, this connection was even noted in an article in The Atlantic. The original "CIA niggers glow in the dark" video was reportedly made in 2017, although since his YouTube channel apparently was wiped 5 years ago I doubt we can trace the original source very easily.

Don't forget, 4chan and its ilk, where the alt-right germinated, like to stalk and laugh at mentally ill people, including Davies. Ioe bidome (talk) 17:38, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
