gender itself

I'm glad I'm done with that site and know most of my friends from there on tumblr or other platforms.

ahem. they are known to globally block anyone who speaks out on this

watch the vid read the desc whatever. just consume SOME of this at least

also this was 2024 bruhwrecksnoobs who didnt understand paramisia so "pedophile" is overused here sorry about that. point is Astronomical Chaos is kind of a terrible person and FANDOM enables them

Astronomical Chaos is prominent on wikis about indie media (GLITCH shows and such) theyre like BAD

Orientation wiki is about to close, as well as few other wikis left after the closing of @thegenderwiki @gender-fandom-wiki

once again here tools for archiving the contents of those wikis

and here is one tool for reading the contents of the archive offline

Pronoun -> May 11th

Queerdom -> May 12th

Orientation -> May 18th

Some people commented other wikis will also close in the meanwhile, such as

aromantic.fandom.com

mogailabel.fandom.com

prideer.fandom.com

lgbt-pride.fandom.com

acecake.fandom.com

This is to anyone currently on Fandom.

This is not me trying to persuade you to instantly quit/abandon Fandom, as I know there’s communities and friendships here, and requesting/suggesting that would be unreasonable. This is me warning you that they are queerphobic pieces of crap.

https://lgbt-pride.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000095167 (this is just one example) (if you can’t access the link/it goes to a dead wiki, here are some screenshots)

Multiple of their staff team members seem to be conveniently ignoring their own ‘no transphobia or homophobia’ rules, and are in the process of (as far as I’m aware) deleting EVERY. SINGLE. LGBT+ WIKI, under the pathetic excuses of them being ‘duplicates’, or having ‘harmful content’, or whatever bullshit they like to spew.

They go ‘oh you have the perfectly good LGBT+ wiki WE made just go THERE dummies’, but they’re PERFECTLY AWARE that that wiki only allows ‘well-known’ or ‘popular’ genders, as well as generally having extremely strict rules. They don’t care about the queer community, and we need to stop pretending they do.

Be angry. Be pissed. Be sad, be hurt. But DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, go attack no berate them. They’ll write you off as an emotional woke teenager, and using your own personal experiences don’t fking matter to them; I see a lot of ppl do that, and I’ not insulting them in any way, but Fandom really doesn’t care when you go ‘oh no but MY gender isn’t ‘normal’ what about me don’t you relate to me’. No. They don’t. Your words do. Not. Matter. To. Them. It sucks, the world sucks, but we need to remember that some people are just full of shit.

If you have a small wiki/are working on one/hope to work on one, I’m begging you, DON’T USE FANDOM. Don’t support Fandom. Don’t support blatant queerphobes. Spread this post if you can, I beg of you. We can’t do much, but anything is better than nothing. Again, I don’t demand you instantly quit Fandom or anything, but do what you can. Try alternatives, if possible. I’m personally using Miraheze as where I’m moving my own wiki (The Invoker Trilogy wiki) to, and its coding style is pleasantly similar to Fandom’s — they even have a whole page on ‘so, you’re moving from Fandom’, lol!

The gender wiki is being closed down, for honestly bullshit reasons. (see this post for more information)

We have been actively working to remove problematic genders from the wiki, but Fandom has already decided to shut down the wiki entirely. We hope with enough pushback, we can change their mind on this.

This wiki has been active for almost a decade now, and not only is it a wonderful resource, it is also a safe place for many users who otherwise don’t have one. Myself included.

Please repost, and take whatever action you can to prevent this from happening.

This is, I quote exactly, what one of the fandom staff said:

“Just generally speaking... have you ever considered that... "thousands of identities" is part of a larger problem? Like as a gay man myself, I remember the era that I call the "Lady Gaga Born This Way" era of gay where the goal was to REMOVE labels and groupings. Instead, we've overcorrected somehow. Like the old Gender Wiki had a page for "Cheesecakegender" and for "Murdergender"... I think that's grotesque enough of a showing to beg the question... are any of those really necessary?”

It is also strictly against Fandom’s guidelines to be transphobic, by the way.

If you ever see butter flavored syrup do not get it. That shit is NASTY.
