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...

TL;DR:

> Some guy tried to make “Discord” from My Little Pony be listed alongside “Q” as John de Lancie’s most well-known role.
Wikipedia said "no."
Debate exploded.
Feels like WWIII broke out in a Wikipedia talk page.
Was the edit justified?

> Wikipedia
acting like Q isn't a state-sponsored propaganda role
but Discord is "not notable" because the audience is too online
This is just the system filtering out decentralized cultural movements.

The same site that locked pages to control COVID narrative is now gatekeeping ponies.
We're ruled by bureaucrats with anime avatars.

Discord literally represents chaos, anti-order, and subversion.
You’d think /pol/ would worship him as a metaphor for postmodern collapse.
Instead he's voiced by some Boomer actor playing space court jester 20 years prior.

It was never about which role is more "notable."
It’s about what kind of fandom they’re trying to delegitimize.
Star Trek = top-down media
MLP = grassroots weird internet cult
Wikipedia always picks the corporate narrative.

> FlightTime shut the whole thing down
dispute resolution ignored arguments
admin closes discussion with boilerplate
The site’s just a microcosm of real life. The illusion of democracy. The guy made a decent case and got silenced.

> John de Lancie voices two anarchist gods
tries to represent freedom and chaos
Wikipedia insists you only remember him for the state-sanctioned sci-fi
This is why clownworld memes exist.

Remember:
Wikipedia mods are anonymous
Wikipedia decisions are final
Wikipedia consensus ≠ truth
Wikipedia is a psyop

Unironically Discord was redpilled.

> causes rebellion
refuses to bow to any ruler
gets punished by being turned to stone
literally cancelled
And they say Q was the dangerous one.

This is why Wikipedia can't be trusted.
It’s curated reality. Doesn’t matter if millions saw Discord and loved the character.
If it didn’t air on CNN, it didn’t happen.

The real question is:
Why are nerd feuds like this more documented than half of world history on Wikipedia?

[Anonymous 08/07/25(Fri)14:27 No.22456927]
They’re not arguing about a cartoon character.
They’re arguing over who writes history.

Peak smug liberal Wikipedia tone.
Just say you hate fun and move on.

I’m not even a brony, but this reeks of institutional bias.
Any organic fan movement is treated like a joke until Netflix turns it into a 10-part docuseries.
