This is definitely vandalism. They did the same thing yesterday, which was why they were brought into the thread in the first place. Now, it's not the exact same, but it still is needlessly hostile and didn't have any input from anybody from the thread.

While Sinfest is unambiguously far-right propaganda at this point, the way they rewrote the entry just complains about how awful and bad it is.

Yeah I already mentioned them making that prior edit and being brought into the thread.

I get their reaction to the webcomic, but this feels excessive and jarring and wonky.

Agreed, it's awful. Far as I can see, it's both vandalism and a unilateral change. This kind of stuff has no place on the website, no matter how bad the comic may have become.

This is also after already being told by numerous people to not make it so inflammatory and rude. We can acknowledge the comic's issues without this.

I think a mod revert is needed.

Wait, sinfest is far right propaganda? Back when I last paid attention to it (been a few years), it seemed on the other end of the coin - what with all the feminism and "fuck the Patriarchy"... I won't even call it subtext, it was very blatant.

^ Sinfest changed its focus a while back to peddle reactionary far-right viewpoints and propaganda.

Regarding the topic, I agree with reverting the unilateral changes.

Suspended for vandalism. I also suspended them from the forums because this happened after their attempt to get the page completely cut in the complaining cleanup thread was shot down.

Edit: Reverted the page back to Geoduck's edit from January 28. I checked and the only edit between that and Kizor's most recent edit was reverting something Kizor added.

I forgot to note it, but they seem to be a bit of a serial tweaker too, given there's a whole bunch of small edits after their main edit. I know I do a bit of this, but not to this extent.

^ I think the vandalism's the bigger issue.

There's beauty in even the smallest moments.
