Though to be fair at least the SCP admits are good at removing asshole comments

Ladies, gentleman and those whose gender is classified as anomalous.

Welcome to 2011 SCP Wiki. Showing how far the internet has come, because at least there are not random slurs thrown in. Just good old 0 to 100, baseless insults.
Excerpt from the SCP-818 Discussion Board between three users. It reads: "User 1 This made me sad. +1 But on another note, usually in reports like this the containment procedures are crossed out as opposed to written in past tense. User 2 Purely a stylistic thing. They're easier to read like this, anyway. User 3 I'm taking a random shot at the dark and guessing either you have eyesight problems or have english as a second language. Am I correct?"

I can't believe the SCP Wiki is transifying SCP-818 in such a manner. Surely they should use that jasper stone to do it, in order to be more ethical.

Clearly this is the greatest moral violation the Foundation has ever done and they will thankfully never do such things again
Excerpt from the SCP-818 wiki page specifically it's revision history. It reads "17. Decibelles. 24 Jun 2015. Fixing Pronoun Mistake (he to it)."

Not to deride these researchers. But it is hilarious to me when the graphic design of SCP-2521 is more consistent artistically and communicates more clearly than a scientific paper.

Like it gets the point across it needs to, I just like academics not giving a damn about graphic design principles
An extract from a scientific paper. It has two rooms labelled. In Room 1 there are two stick figure people sitting at a desk, with a computer and lamp. The computer has a hyper realistic EEG read out. One of the people has a hyper realistic early 2000s phone and a speech bubble coming out of their mouth which reads "Please tell me all that was going through your mind before you were woken up" In Room 2, there is a stick figure in bed with an EEG cap on. Beside the foot of the bed is a realistic landline telephone and a clip art camera. Coming from the stick figure is a bubble which reads "There was some kind of boat race but it was almost like a computer game...there was a wide river"

Yeah I don't really have a pithy comment. This is just unequivocally horrifically racist. And not wholly surprising

Reference: Goldenberg, N. R. (1976). A feminist critique of Jung. Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, 2(2), 443-449.
Extract which reads: "They will not admit that his statements were often misinformed, ignorant, or just plain prejudiced. (To paraphrase one unpublished seminar, for example, Jung virtually equated the Negro with the gorilla.)"

Huh. When we covered Jungian psychology it was never mentioned that his archetypes were used as an explanation for telepathy.

I wonder if Jordan Peterson believes in ESP. If he does, I imagine it's tied up to needing to eat an all meat diet in order to unlock your innate telepathic powers
Extract which reads "In other words, according to Jung, an individual's collective unconscious is not strictly bound by space and time and therefore has a potential for immediate contact with, for example, distant individuals. This, to Jung, is what underlies ESP experiences such as telepathy."

Alright, raise your hands if you have been cucked or impregnated by the sun. They cannot keep getting away with this behaviour
Extract that reads: "In fact, the "idea that women may be impregnated by the sun is not uncommon in legends" in various cultures (Frazer, 1959, p.586).

Jung....JUNG!!! WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT IS YOUR MIND JUNG?! EVEN MY STRANGEST DREAMS DON'T COMPARE TO THIS TEXTBOOK FREUDIAN NIGHTMARE!

No wonder you had so many weird hypothses around dreams. I would too if I routinely imagined a godly cathedral defiled by excrement
Extract from Text which reads: ""One of these experiences involved a fantasy that bothered Jung considerably: "I saw before me the cathedral, the blue sky. God sits on His golden throne, high above the world- and from under the throne an enormous turd falls upon the sparkling new roof, shatters it and breaks the walls of the cathedral asunder""

Yknow...I shouldn't be surprised that the not porn, porn games have Lady Godiva in them. I guess I'm just shocked that someone in a scam fueled games company cared enough about Coventry to include her in it
An image of Lady Godiva from King's Choice. A buxom woman rides a pure white horse, her auburn hair covering her nipples as a Greecian style white dress flows around her stomach and thighs, barely covering her with the sheer material. Below the image is a profile picture of lady Godiva and the text "Effect: Unlock decoration to earn 1000 Intimacy, and increase the corresponding Lover's ballroom profit by 0.6%.(+200 Decor Exp)

Somehow, in some way, no one comes out of this looking good.

Jewish people are subject to horrific antisemitism, Native Americans are debased by proxy, Campbell shows his ass proudly and Ellwood just casually calls real people in the modern day "primal." Not for the first time either mind you.
Excerpt which reads ""Campbell's would be scholarly characterizations of Judaism evince all the stock anti Semitic epithets." Judaism is said to be chauvinistic, fossilized, nationalistic, sexist, patriarchal, and antimystical. Even primal peoples, such as Campbell's beloved Native Americans, are said to "possess a broader vision than Jews.""

Look I know we're not meant to judge by association. But when you're quoting a well known collaborator with Italian fascists and a Divine Right Monarchist, maybe you should reflect on your ideology. And also how apolitical you really are
Quotation which reads ""Campbell then cites two other writers in support of Mann's 1918 views, men who remained faithful to the spirit of those views even amid the flames of World War II: the American expatriate poet and admirer of Mussolini, Ezra Pound, who "was at that time in Italy, broadcasting condemnations of the Western Alliance that were very much like those of Mann's World War I Betrachtungen," and the also controversial T. S. Eliot."

No matter how kindly you put it, this does just make him sound like the 60s version of an insufferable internet edgelord. No matter how much "charm" he possessed

Reference:  Ellwood, R. (1999). The politics of myth: A study of CG Jung, Mircea Eliade, and Joseph Campbell. Suny Press. (Page 133)
Quotation which reads: "Campbell loved a good argument, often taking "contrarian" positions at polar opposite to those of his circle or his interlocutors, perhaps as much to spark lively debate as anything else. Yet he expressed himself with such charm and contagious intellectual enthusiasm that even many who disagreed strongly with his views remained friends and fans."

So whale bellies are like wombs but passing into them is like dying....maybe the French were onto something with Le petit mort
Excerpt of Text reading "The idea that the passage of the magical threshold is a transit into a sphere of rebirth is symbolized in the worldwide womb image of the belly of the whale. The hero, instead of conquering or conciliating the power of the threshold, is swallowed into the unknown, and would appear to have died."

The woke agenda. Cock blocking you from heterosexuality in your dreams since 1935. We even still use trans beams to do so!
Extract of a text which reads: "I was following a girl who was goingahead of me, along thedark street. I could see her from behind only and admired herbeautiful figure. A mighty desire seized me, and I was running after her. Suddenly a beam, as though released from a spring, came across the street and blocked the way. I awoke with my heart pounding." The patient was a homosexual; the transverse beam, a phallic symbol.

Honestly, nothing sums up Mark Zuckerberg's horrific practices better than his name being synonymous with a specific form of privacy invasion

Truly, an inspiration for us all
Extract from A Paper reading: "Examples of such interfaces include privacy-invasive defaults that expose user data (Bad Defaults), privacy-respecting choices that are hard to access (Privacy Zuckering, Interface Interference, and Obstruction), and the use of fear or other emotion-laden language to drive users away from making privacy-respecting choices (Blaming the Individual, Confirmshaming, and Framing)." Privacy Zuckering is highlighted in yellow

Far be it from me to question Kotaku's journalistic practices. But maybe pick a source that has bilingual staff and not one that just prayed the Google machine will be right

Reference: www.gamesindustry.biz/report-sony-...

kotaku.com/fifa-ultimat...
Excerpt of a news article that reads: "Earlier this year, an Austrian district court ruled on a dispute between a number of PlayStation FIFA players and Sony Interactive Entertainment Network Europe Ltd., saying the PlayStation maker owed the players a refund on Ultimate Team packs they purchased from the PlayStation Store because the ability to sell player cards on a secondary market qualifies them as illegal gambling. According to a Google translation of the site's reporting, the regional court to which the case would have been appealed said it had not received any such motion from Sony's representatives, so the ruling became final last month."

Jeez, I wonder why the responses dropped on the 24th of December. I'm sure there's no way to have planned for this

Citation: Zendle, D., Meyer, R., & Over, H. (2019). Adolescents and loot boxes: Links with problem gambling and motivations for purchase. Royal Society open science, 6(6), 190049.
Excerpt, which reads, "As mentioned in the preregistration information for this survey, data collection for this survey continued until a 24 h period occurred with fewer than 100 responses. Data collection began on 20 December, and ended at 00.00 on 25 December, as only 72 responses were collected on 24 December."

I'll give these researchers credit. That is an accurate representation of gamers' grammar. I m n0 betta

Reference: Carras, M... & Labrique, A. (2018). Gamers’ insights into the phenomenology of normal gaming and game “addiction”: A mixed methods study. Computers in human behavior, 79, 238-246.
Extract from a research paper reading "Through their extensive knowledge and participation in the ideas, customs and language used to describe experiences both positive (e.g. the joy of “pwning n00bs” as part of an elite competitive team), and negative (e.g. feeling compelled to keep pursuing a game goal after multiple failures or mistakes, King & Delfabbro, 2016), self-identified gamers are a potentially invaluable resource for refining the idea of what it means to play in an enthusiastic (yet culturally normative) versus a disordered way."

Also here's the official ruling the study quoted from:

Reference: International Olympic Committee. (2003). Statement of the Stockholm consensus on sex reassignment in sports. stillmed.olympic.org/Documents/Re...
Statement from the Stockholm Consensus that reads: Statement of the Stockholm consensus on sex reassignment in sports On 28 October 2003, an ad-hoc committee convened by the IOC Medical Commission met in Stockholm to discuss and issue recommendations on the participation of individuals who have undergone sex reassignment (male to female and converse) in sport. This group was composed of: Prof. Arne Ljungqvist (SWE) Prof. Odile Cohen-Haguenauer (FRA) Prof. Myron Genel (USA) Prof. Joe Leigh Simpson (USA) Prof. Martin Ritzen (SWE) Prof. Marc Fellous (FRA) Dr Patrick Schamasch (FRA) The group confirms the previous recommendation that any “individuals undergoing sex reassignment of male to female before puberty should be regarded as girls and women” (female). This applies as well for female to male reassignment, who should be regarded as boys and men (male). The group recommends that individuals undergoing sex reassignment from male to female after puberty (and the converse) be eligible for participation in female or male competitions, respectively, under the following conditions: Surgical anatomical changes have been completed, including external genitalia changes and gonadectomy Legal recognition of their assigned sex has been conferred by the appropriate official authorities Hormonal therapy appropriate for the assigned sex has been administered in a verifiable manner and for a sufficient length of time to minimise gender-related advantages in sport competitions. In the opinion of the group, eligibility should begin no sooner than two years after gonadectomy. It is understood that a confidential case-by-case evaluation will occur. In the event that the gender of a competing athlete is questioned, the medical delegate (or equivalent) of the relevant sporting body shall have the authority to take all appropriate measures for the determination of the gender of a competitor.

Love the IOC for being so moronic and out of touch as to believe prepubescent minors had access to Sexual Reassignment Surgery in the 2000s. Or ever.

Reference:Tanimoto, C., & Miwa, K. (2021). Factors influencing acceptance of transgender athletes. Sport Management Review, 24(3), 452-474.
Exercept That Reads: "Reflecting this worldwide trend, in 2003 in the Stockholm Consensus, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) declared an inclusive policy regarding athletes who had undergone sex reassignment surgery before puberty (International Olympic Committee, 2003)."

You heard it here first, the two genders are transcendentalist and anti-transcendentalist

Reference: Noor-Tehrani, R., & Barth, E. (2018). The Scarlet Letter: Embroidering Transcendentalism and Anti-transcendentalism Thread for an Early American World. Journal of Language Teaching and Research
Extract from an essay which reads "As Hawthorne selects his weak, pitiful, anti-transcendentalist characters as male and depicts good-natured, self reliant transcendentalist characters as female in his famed novel, perhaps Hawthrone can also be considered an American feminist writer ahead of his time"

There is something eternally hilarious about Sargon of Akkad being referenced next to actual research. 10/10, best reference in academic literature
Excerpt from the paper "Anger Fear and Games: The Long Event of #Gamergate" by Torill Elvira Mortensen It reads "GG was a surprise to the game research community for the conspiracy accusations against researchers (Chess & Shaw, 2015; Sargon of Akkad, 2014) and because it targeted what might be a preference in game studies towards identifying as gamers"
