Before the rise of the regressive left, Wikia was infamous for refusing to delete certain wikis and retaliating against communities that migrated off the platform by taking away the user's admin rights and even banning them, sometimes globally, and they will only allow you to delete your site if they consider it a "personal project".

Other instances of pre-sjw drama includes the forced themes, which now include autoplaying cpu/data hogging videos controlled by wikia staff that are full of retarded errors and extremist political drivel, their abuse of advertisements, which were criticized for the same technical reasons as the forced videos and are directly related to the forced themes, and how they liked to buy out wikis to erase competition, with curse's gamepedia network and the ironically now shutdown uncyclopedia being notable examples.

As for regressive leftist behavior, they reportedly blocked wikis and articles dedicated to criticizing the regressive left during the early gamergate drama, and in 2018 they banned the reception wikis because they were highly critical of the said extremists and had even blocked "sjw" from being edited before this, resulting in articles containing that term becoming uneditable unless the banned word was removed/replaced.

They have lately been shutting down random wikis they declare to be "family unfriendly" such as the lyrics wiki and uncyclopedia, and have blocked users from posting links to mirrors in the case of uncyclopedia, and even locked the entire wiki before deletion in the case of the lyrics wiki.

here is a site containing more info on wikia's bullshit: http://awa.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Anti-Wikia_Alliance

I also appreciate suggestions on how to improve this post.
