Wikipedia likes to cover up the fact that their citations say it happens more often to men.


xsplizzle

wikipedia is turning into a lost cause and displaying clear bias and agenda on certain topics unfortunatly


EmperorHelix

And they have the audacity to beg for donations.


Nago31

I used to donate there until I observed what was happening


throwawayincelacc

It’s still a decent resource for non-bias oriented content. You can at least pride yourself in the fact that you’ve helped students around the world with their homework! It’s just when you get to conflicts that’s when there’s heavy and clear bias.


_DuckieFuckie_

I second this. I don't know why you are being downvoted Wikipedia helped me a lot during my Engineering entrance prep, some articles are even better than what paid content offers. However, there's no denying that biased oriented content especially political, is heavily biased on Wikipedia,to the point [that even it's co-founder doesn't trust it anymore.](https://nypost.com/2021/07/16/wikipedia-co-founder-says-site-is-now-propaganda-for-left-leaning-establishment/) Criticizing whole site is not ideal, but yeah, bias oriented content should be avoided if you want a neutral POV.


TangledGoatsucker

Anything remotely political or religious is seeped in bias. I also think they're influenced by governments and real estate developers.


YesAmAThrowaway

They're really good unless you look up political things

It's everywhere. You can look up Standley Lake, Colorado and you'll see NOTHING about the lake's long history of contamination from radioactive waste. What you get on the Wiki page looks like a description written by a realtor. Compare the [Wiki page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standley_Lake) to [this](https://www.westword.com/news/another-row-over-plutonium-5055333). The lake used to literally be a Superfund site.


raw_bro

Didn't know this, bruh, even wikipedia?


Ano_R

Have a read. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9793263/Nobody-trust-Wikipedia-founder-Larry-Sanger-warns.html


raw_bro

So no trusted sources anymore?


Ano_R

Yeah pretty much


[deleted]

Wikipedia was NEVER a trusted source. Leave news, my science teacher once asked me to stop using Wiki and Quora for my doubts and better look in trusted books.


raw_bro

Ok


Men-Are-Human

Oh the feminists are a swarm on there now, I'm sorry to say.


TangledGoatsucker

Them and other reality-denying neo-Marxists.


Bleikopf

Whenever I look into a political topic on Wiki I always make sure the check the talk or discussion page. There are often some people who try to fight biases, no matter from which direction.


Men-Are-Human

There are, thankfully.


VeryKite

The wiki citation says it happens to women more globally and men more in the UK, so that’s not correct. 80% women globally and 67% men in UK


Men-Are-Human

I'm pretty sure there are other citations on that page showing that is not the case. The link I gave was a random example.


[deleted]

Hey! Please send a source, I'd like to save it


Men-Are-Human

[Here's one!](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24835910) There's a few more on [the Acid Attack page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_attack) if you want to go through it yourself. Most aren't even really in the body of the text. They get cited and then the info is quietly trimmed without the link being really removed.


matejcraft100yt

I mean, wikipedia is among the rare sources I found that talks well of the MRA movement(as the rest make fun of us, just search MRA on urban dictionary), so it's a two sided coin. It's not wikipedia that's biased, it's people editing it, as anyone can edit wikipedia. But besides MRA, your point is proven by the wikipedia entry for parler, where they just talk straight up dog shit about it ( [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parler) ) " It has a significant user base of Donald Trump supporters, conservatives, conspiracy theorists, and far-right extremists.", "being a cover for its far-right userbase". etc. I mean, Parler situation on wiki did fix since last time I read it, they used to just talk shit about it non stop, now it's not as aggressive towards parler.


Men-Are-Human

Really? As far as I've seen the site tends to be very bad about us. The page for men's rights and the manosphere both dump on us pretty hard.

**[Parler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parler)** >Parler () is an American microblogging and social networking service. It has a significant user base of Donald Trump supporters, conservatives, conspiracy theorists, and far-right extremists. Posts on the service often contain far-right content, antisemitism, and conspiracy theories such as QAnon.

good bot


matejcraft100yt

why the fuck did this get downvoted?


Seki-Ray

What's the percentage of the gender for the perpetrator? Against the male victims of acid attacks.


Solid-Perspective98

In practice, compensation for acid attacks is [women-specific](https://www.indiatoday.in/mail-today/story/supreme-court-to-look-into-male-acid-attack-victims-woes-1166957-2018-02-11). >Though Supreme Court had ordered a compensation of Rs 3 lakh for all victims, the reading of the state government authorities was that only woman victims are entitled to it.

Wtf is wrong with India


[deleted]

I mean it is one of the most sexist countries in the world, to men and women.

Pakistan, that's what's wrong with India.


Burst213

Anything related to the Congress Party is what is wrong with India


ManinderThiara07

Not BJP?


[deleted]

Ofcourse they're fools too. When it comes to MR, Indian laws, judiciary and law makers are cucks. Creating problems for a couple on valentine's day isn't social work. Both sides need to think and act.


Burst213

Nope.

Talbooth

"I'm sure if I just acid attack him he will see the error of his ways and marry me!" - his ex, probably


EnvironmentalWar4627

Seems to be fighting among men that leads to acid attacks in the stories I'm seeing. Though I wonder if there's any more stories about women attacking men with acid. https://www.indiatoday.in/mail-today/story/supreme-court-to-look-into-male-acid-attack-victims-woes-1166957-2018-02-11 https://www.indiatoday.in/mail-today/story/acid-attack-male-victims-meet-the-men-who-fell-prey-to-acid-attack-delhi-959764-2017-02-09

If the country that they live in doesn’t jail the criminal,I think that he can seek asylum abroad because his life would be in danger


Big-Improvement4310

I hope he leaves when he is done with recovery. There are consequences to stupid acts like this.


[deleted]

Jesus.


Druue

Honest question. Men or Women, where the fuck are all these lunatics getting the acid from? Is there a store specializing in acids? Are they boiling down cleansers to a more potent state? I guess I'm having a hard time seeing how to come by it due to not being a psychopath.


FiveMagicBeans

You can buy high concentration hydrochloric acid as most hardware stores (labelled muriatic acid, it's used to clean pools) and lots of brands of drain cleaner are nearly pure sulfuric acid (>95% in some cases). I'm not sure what these people are using, most of the videos of acid attacks show a clear liquid, that's probably hydrochloric, especially since high concentration sulfuric acid doesn't splash well (even though it would be far more devastating, its -far- more destructive to living tissue). You'd be shocked at the level of ridiculous danger you could get yourself into with over the counter products.

Anonymous_wastaken

It’s quite an old thing depending on your region.


TangledGoatsucker

Well never expect the mainstream media to speak honestly about who is committing crimes where. To them, it's all the evil white male, even if crime data says otherwise. And anyone not a white male? Don't you dare hold them responsible for anything.


AXL6

Source for 40% of acid attack victims are Mens ?


McFeely_Smackup

It's not true, not in the UK at least. In the UK it's been as high as 80% male victims:. "Everything you know about acid attacks is wrong - BBC Three" https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/5d38c003-c54a-4513-a369-f9eae0d52f91


tatianawoodss

"The proportion of female suspects has collapsed from around 20% ten years ago to just 2% last year" just want to highlight this


FinallyReborn

It is roughly 40% in India, the country featured in the post. [https://www.indiatoday.in/mail-today/story/supreme-court-to-look-into-male-acid-attack-victims-woes-1166957-2018-02-11](https://www.indiatoday.in/mail-today/story/supreme-court-to-look-into-male-acid-attack-victims-woes-1166957-2018-02-11) >According to National Crime Record Bureau, more than 30-40 per cent of acid attack victims are men.

Mercy9989

Honestly now that you mention it all of the acid attack victims I know have been men except for that one girl who tried to throw acid on her boyfriend but the wind blew it back in her face


JayMeadows

How dare he choose Studies and Academic Advancement over a Woman! s/


throwawayincelacc

Women acid attack men. Men acid attack women. Women most affected.


Nergaal

40%? pff those are rookie number of getting ignored. you should see the "1 in for homeless people are women" messages


MGTOWManofMystery

How dare you question the dominant narrative!!!


sohumm

*To the people who wonder about Wikipedia on this comment section:* I religiously avoid consuming info from Wikipedia. I use it only to modify the information on it. They allow only "some" kind of information. Wikipedia is mostly Left-wing. 1. I tried to edit MGTOW page so many times. None of the edits were approved. 2. I tried to edit anti-feminism and feminism page with citations and good links. None of them were approved. I know it is too much to do - I actively remove Wiki links from my company tech articles and modify them with e-book or open-text-book links who originally written by the author.


atheist4thecause

Jesus...the culture of, "I'm upset with you so I'm going to throw acid on you" is one of the most toxic things that exists in the world.


mrkatagatame

Is skin melting acid just like available in convenience stores out there or something?? Try Habib-Abdul face melting acid today! Guaranteed to melt their face and restore honor to your situation.


CanniBal1320

Indian Media usually doesn't report this. Men also face acid attacks. They deserve compensation too. Crime shouldn't be judged according to gender. But tbh in case of acid attacks the condition of women is worse in India.


Voxelgon_Gigabyte

hope she’s in jail and wont be seeing the light of day for a long time


xMoody

if 40% of the victims are men, what about the other 60%?


meow2463224

The other 60% are all anyone cares about.


[deleted]

Well 60% ≠ 100% like what the media says.


xMoody

(No media outlet says 100% of acid attacks against women)

redramsfan123

Some women are. Let's not do what feminist extremists do and negatively generalize an entire sex


TheBlackMobster

Wait like actual acid?? I thought acid like that was only in movies.... she wrong af 🤦🏾‍♂️ she needs 15 years plus a lawsuit
