TLDR: The user wanted to move the mention of his Discord role to be mentioned as his most well known role along with Star Trek's Q, but the other users did not agree. Do you believe that this edit was justified? Yes or no? I'm looking forward to the discussion. This edit caused quite the discord...

Vote here on who was correct: https://strawpoll.com/xVg71Y0J6yr

i've never heard of Discord as a TV show or movie or whatever before this very moment. i only know him from Star Trek and to a lesser extent Breaking Bad.
>>
>>217071107
It's Discord from MLP, he's directly inspired by Q and is clearly De Lancie's 2nd best known role.
>>
>>217071195
okay but that's only true to weird pedophiles who watch MLP. that has zero cultural relevancy outside of that bubble.
>>
>>217070831
Nostalgia? You posted this ten times half a year ago

When you hear Wikipedia has a ton of active editors this is what they spend their time on. I assure you all the history articles have people constantly inserting completely made up bullshit I have to clean up myself with IP edits. No one is verifying anything you claim about history.

Here is a google trends chart where Discord absolutely annihilates his Breaking Bad character. It is clearly appropriate to list Q and Discord as his 2 most well known roles. Also, MLP isn't just for weird pedophiles. MLP is a fun cartoon enjoyable for all ages. There are interviews from the MLP staff where they specifically said it was made for all ages to enjoy, and that shows in how fun the show is to watch. Have you ever seen the show or are you just making assumptions? It's a fun show, regardless of how girly it appears from the outside. Adults liking MLP is no different from adults liking Spongebob or Disney. Unless you want to argue that its wrong for adults to watch any kids cartoons at all. MLP fans were the last real online counterculture. Everything since then has been corporatized rebellion. You mock bronies now, but you'll be licking Disney boots next

>>217070831
Kid, I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Take this bump anyway.
>>
Why does it matter? Star trek and my little pony have the same audience anyways, why fight over this?

>Here is a google trends chart where Discord absolutely annihilates his Breaking Bad character
As you well know because it's been told to you in Wikipedia discussions multiple times, Google Trends is not a reliable indicator of what Wikipedia considers notoriety. One reason is that it can seem inflated if a fanbase is more likely to search for a character.
>There are interviews from the MLP staff where they specifically said it was made for all ages to enjoy
What a surprise that the people promoting their show said anyone can watch it.
>Unless you want to argue that its wrong for adults to watch any kids cartoons at all
It is.
>>
I'm of the opinion that whatever pisses off people who edit Wikipedia should be done more often.
>>
>>217071543
>Unless you want to argue that its wrong for adults to watch any kids cartoons at all
So you'd say its wrong for adults to watch Avatar the Last Airbender?

>Google Trends is not a reliable indicator of what Wikipedia considers notoriety. One reason is that it can seem inflated if a fanbase is more likely to search for a character.
Discord is like 10 times more popular than Donald Margolis, this is not close.
>>
>MLP faggotry
If I had a child and found they were watching that shit I would beat them so severely prison time would be involved.
>>
>>217071251
lmfao
i remember seeing this threads back then, even glanced at some of the links. just realising now that discord is some mlp bs. seemed completely schizo at the time

They definitely do verify that Donald DRUMPF is historically evil and racist and orange and bad though
Oh and Gamergate was just a bunch of incel virgins harassing poor innocent gamer girlbosses
>>
>>217071229
It is well known pedophiles also watch Star Trek.
>>217071253

TNG is still more culturally relevant than MLP. All the "bronies" of the 2010s moved onto the next internet fad. A lot of them trooned out because of the rabbit holes they fell down. I doubt the show gets any discussion from millennial men. Meanwhile TNG is still regarded as great sci-fi and an example of how good TV used to be.
>>
>>217071851
It's not like he's a bad actor, I honestly think the Q role got him typecast as a flamboyant weirdo
>>
>>217071926
>typecast
That’s why it sucks so much for him
>>
>>217071253
Wikipedia is merely a vehicle for me to push my preferred narratives. I don't give a FUCK about accuracy. Only limp wristed pussies do.

Your parents failed you when they didn't whip the horse faggotry out of you.

Yes.

If this is true by any measure then use measures of notoriety that Wikipedia will accept.
>>
>>217071922
star trek is dead and buried, ponies are eternal
>>
>>217072070
I showed in the discussion how the standard they were raising against me wasn't actually consistent since the article declared Q as his most known role without a source
>>
>>217072120
just stop you autistic fuck

>>217072120
Again, as was explained to you, you don't have consensus. Lacking more data, consensus is what Wikipedia uses. If you disagree with that, your argument is no longer about MLP and Breaking Bad, you have a problem with Wikipedia's rules.
>>
>>217072152
>ad hominin fallacy, no argument
>>
>>217072193
You post about this again and again here and on Wikipedia and never seem to understand the arguments against you, you just whine about Wikipedia's rules.
At that point it's entirely valid just to call you autistic and tell you to fuck off.
>>
>>217072291
what about the 2nd proposed edit that lacked none of the issues that the first edit had?
>>
>>217070831
Let it rest bro, it ain't gonna be changed

You're going to have to link me to the discussion on that, I don't remember it and I'm not reading through all this shit again.

How autistic are you? From December 2023 to now, you've kept on about this literal who not being credited appropriately on Wikipedia for his MLP role, I read the links and its absurd you're this autistic to care enough about this. You even wrote a novel about one of the editors "bullying" you lol

>>217072519
I agree with all the guidelines that were linked to you; you're beating a dead horse, it's trivial, and you're badgering people. It's obviously going to be a controversial edit when you've raised so much of a shitstorm about it, even if it's slightly different.
Move on, as the guidelines say. Again, your problem is with standards on Wikipedia at this point, not with any particular edit. I'm glad those guidelines exist though so people like you can't just endlessly autistically harass people forever over their failed proposed changes with impunity.
>>
>>217072193
That would be name calling actually, unless you actually are an autistic fuck. Which I guess you are so yeah, it's ad hominem.
