== Asking for your comment about 2018 Trypophobia article RfC ==
Hi, Pengo. I saw that in the RfC on ] that you were the only user who argued in favor of removing the image which induces Trypophobia. I'm now trying to explore why users otherwise unanimously decided to keep the image. I was wondering if you had any opinions on your gauge of the situation when the RfC occurred in 2018. I'm not sure if your opinion on the issue has changed, but users in the talk page for that article are emphasizing the near-unanimity of that decision. I'm wondering what makes you different in your conclusion from the other 32 users. Thank you for any information. --] (]) 17:10, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


Kind Regards,
:{{reply|IronMaidenRocks}} I know someone with serious trypophobia. I can tell you they and similar users were not commenting because they were not going to a page with a heap of images that make them throw up in their mouth. Why 32 other users think that's fine, you'll have to ask them. —] 02:08, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
:{{reply|IronMaidenRocks}} i.e. there's a huge selection bias as the page is inaccessible and actually hostile to people with more serious forms of the condition. It's like running a survey on a page that claims epilepsy doesn't exist, and asking whether we should "censor" flashing images, and the entire survey page flashes rapidly. What do you think will be the result? How much input do you expect from people with photosensitive seizures? I don't know what I said on the RfC—you didn't link it—and I don't know why you're asking, but I don't imagine my views have changed, no. —] 02:29, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

::::Can I ask you both why you think all except for one of the users (you, Pengo) who participated were corrupt participants? Half voted to collapse the photo out of concern for sufferers, and some of them went up against those who didn't seem to care for sufferers or thought of the condition as probably false, but you describe everyone except for one as cruel and biased. What gives? I think it's a shame that so many wouldn't even vote to hide the photo, but I don't think most of them were intentionally being cruel. I don't think a new poll will change anything either, but it's okay to try. ] (]) 22:28, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

::::: All I said was the participants were necessarily a biased sample due to the design of the page. Both the discussion and the wikipedia pages leading to it were (and still are) inaccessible and literally hostile to those with the condition being discussed, especially those with more severe reactions, and no attempt was made to seek the opinions of those with the condition, so of course people with the condition, whose opinion should be valued in the decision, are going to be unable or unwilling to participate. I haven't looked back but I believe there were no voices of anyone with the condition, let alone anyone with a severe symptoms, nor any attempt to include their voices.

One thing I'd wonder is how to get in touch with people who have Trypophobia who might have varied opinions to share.

I'm also unaware of Misplaced Pages's standards on polling a demographic for representation, especially considering this is a conversation dealing with style rather than content. Otherwise, I'm thinking of reaching out to researchers and psychologists who have studied the condition to get their take on the article as a whole, the location of the picture, and if some more appropriate and less shocking picture might be found. --] (]) 13:11, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

::::::Pengo, here's a link to the poll: ]. There were a few people who participated in the poll who have trypophobia and who were very sympathetic toward sufferers. Some who don't have the condition were sympathetic toward sufferers. But IronMaidenRocks says most users voted to keep the photo in the lead "mostly because of concerns about censorship", that you "believe that the RfC decision was made out of bias and cruelty", and that they (IronMaidenRocks) agree with that. IronMaidenRocks says the argument that the photo should remain for its educational value is "downright barbaric." With the way they put it, it was a white male conspiracy theory to keep the photo. IronMaidenRocks also says an ableist bias occurred. That may be so, but it appears there was no such bias for most of the participants. Most didn't argue censorship, and most didn't come from 4chan. These were years-old users voting and the voting discussion appears to have been advertised on Misplaced Pages, and so that's why it had a large participation. IronMaidenRocks put words in your mouth. Thank you for illuminating your feelings. ] (]) 21:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
:::::::{{reply|Acidsetback}} Why did you break your quote, ]? Is that something I actually said? Did I say that Pengo "seems to believe" or did I say that Pengo "believes" as you quoted me? Because, if you read Pengo's first reply, they used what I see as rather strong language which I interpreted, and I distinctly clarified that the way I said it was my own interpretation. Furthermore, why are you on a user's talk page discussing the subject of ] about discussion taking place there? I came here to ask Pengo questions about the discussion and whether they'd like to participate again. There's little that you've said or asked here which couldn't have been posted in that discussion. Nor were you even part of the discussion in either thread before you came here, as far as I can tell. --] (]) 11:48, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
::::::::], you said, "I reached out to the one user who disagreed with the RfC decision to keep the image, User:Pengo, and they seem to believe that the RfC decision was made out of bias and cruelty. I agree with that." Why do you think saying "seem to believe" absolves you from giving a certain impression of Pengo's feelings? If you said I seem to believe something I don't, it would still be a mischaracterization. Similarly, is this not why ] to your characterization of him? and , on two different users' talk pages, you even accuse me of mocking you, others being against you, and then you changed the headings of your reports to say "Users engaging in disruptive/unbecoming behavior in Talk:Trypophobia discussion." I count one user (you) engaging in disruptive/unbecoming behavior at Talk:Trypophobia. I didn't quote everything because I didn't think "seem to believe" was important and communication usually includes summarizing what someone has said, lest you go into ] territory. I came to Pengo's talk page because you advertised coming here and gave a certain impression of Pengo's feelings. You also mischaracterized the polling. I wanted to know Pengo's feelings from Pengo's own mouth and I didn't want Pengo left with your inaccurate summary of things. I'm not discussing the topic of trypophobia here on this user's talk page. I'm discussing exactly what you discussed here on this user's talk page. And now it's time to end that and leave this user in peace. ] (]) 21:55, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
:::::::::I won't discuss with you further than to say that there's no way that I could relay someone else's opinions without making my own impression of it. Pengo has not said whether my interpretation was accurate enough, so you are accusing me of something that hasn't happened yet. It looks like you asked Pengo questions in such a way as to paint me in a bad light, a very literal twist on ]. And, before you say it, you and other users have repeatedly implied that my calling attention to your behavior and possible biases is a violation of good faith. These rules exist, in part, for us to compare the behavior of others to the rules, just as much as it is for us to compare it to ourselves. Being in the majority in the discussion doesn't give you the right to police behavior completely at the minority's expense. Or is it that I'm the only one in that discussion capable of bad faith; those self-interpreted rules only apply to people who disagree with you? --] (]) 23:48, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

::::If you and other users are unable to help I'll probably just stop pursuing the subject until I hear back from expert opinions, and maybe that can inform some new user consensus.
