It’s weird, because I’m vaguely aware of SlateStarCodex only because I’ve browsed this subreddit and the subreddit that is named after it. (I stumbled across both using the random feature in reddit). I’ve never actually read the original site before today, and I didn’t realize that it was actually *this* bad. I started reading that post linked above and it seemed fairly reasonable and humane up until the first pair of italicized paragraphs part way through.

Dude, that piece was written *after* Elliot Rodger's murders, and partially in response to the response to the fact that Elliot Rodger murdered people for his being "romanceless" It's one of the clearest ways in which Scott Alexander reveals himself to be a self-interested, self-obsessed scumbag

I believe Voldemort was also a euphemism for Moldbug after Scott banned references to NRX in his blog comments.

[Content Warning: reference to suicidal ideation] I think it's also deeply revealing that SA's constant moaning about and sympathy with brutally misogynistic people as documented in this sort of shit that during a number of the periods he's been up in arms defending the motivations of actual killers and rapists he was involved in polyamorous dating and, presumably, having at least a little sex on the side as a result If you're writing thousands of words about how you can sympathise with people who kill rather than not get laid *while you're getting laid* you should probably sit back, reflect, and hold your head in your hands for having become the bastard you are I would never tell anybody to kill themselves but I can picture myself feeling ideation on far less significant realisations than that
