Talk:Nina Paley

message: I reverted the addition of the "controversy" section because it was not NPOV and contained no citations. There has been legitimate controversy regarding the film, but if it is to be included in the article, the section must contain NPOV and attributed material. I also reverted the petition link that was attached with the section, because it wasn't referenced anywhere in the article. 71.205.206.31 (talk) 00:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I, too, reverted it even though it had a reference. The URL was to a non-neutral attack site published against Sita Sings the Blues rather than a neutral news piece or commentary. The controversy, such as it is, belongs at the film article and not at the biography. Binksternet (talk) 15:30, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quilts 

message: As of 2009, Paley is working with the University of Illinois library to digitize her earlier comic art boards and make the collection of ~350 boards and all of the Fluff strips available under a CC-SA license.(, personal corresp.) 
 
This might be worth a mention in the article.  I've asked the library for more information about the request for help, and where the resulting collection will be online.  Some of the strips may be available before the library gets full support for the scanning.   +sj+ 02:48, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Nina Paley is in two LGBT persons categories and yet no information in the article supports that. Futhermore it is indicated in the article that she was married. Can anyone locate a source verifying that she belongs in said categories and perhaps add it to the article itself? In0eterminacy (talk) 08:05, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Those cats must go if not supported very strongly in the article. I'm removing them. Binksternet (talk) 16:15, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've also just removed the category "American Jews" as there is nothing in the article about her being Jewish. LadyofShalott 06:04, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Recently she made an official statement about it, so we can recreate this category. kocio (talk) 12:33, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

text: The LGBT category is not currently attached to the article. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 22:12, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is being forced on Wikipedia by  Binksternet, obviously an agent for Paley. Look at the revisions. It hides blatant transphobia and hate speech, calling ir "Views on Gender" when she has produced art that has nothing to do with gender  and calls transgender suicides fake, transgender people fake. Where is that hateful art?  Yet you are listing her quilts? Is this Etsy? Is here a quilt category? The absurdity  of this whole article is pushed by an obvious agent of Nina Paley. Her film s are not viable, her art is not viable, she is a hateful and bitter person promoting anti LGBT propaganda. The article is a white washed piece of propaganda, nothing more. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 14:46, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  LGBT Status 

message: I removed a few categories just now, ones that are likely true but are unsupported in the article. All categories we have to describe Paley must be supported by text in the article. Binksternet (talk) 18:35, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course you did as an agent of Nina Paley you have crafted it neatly to hide real facts. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 14:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  More about categories 

message: Well, I don't think any professional journalists or 2nd hand sources (aside from some random blogs, including my own) have mentioned this recent project of hers yet: http://comicomatic.com/
If I updated the article to include that project, it'd be WP:OR research by virtue of me having found it directly (She's my fbook friend, cuz I'm freaking cool like that. Don't be jealous.). So, someone else has to update the "and recent work" section of the article. Yay rules.
So, does someone feel like googling around for Comic-O-Matic, citing some "research" someone did, and updating the article? :) Earthpig (talk) 04:21, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

message: She was recently kicked off of facebook twice for transphobic comments. Her attacks on transgender  have become  famous. What has she done of any note that rates an article on her. and if she does shouldn't her attacks be noted ? 172.115.128.79 (talk) 00:11, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: TERF meaning Transgender Exclusionary Radical Feminist. I'm confused by this bigoted person who created a failed feature and advocates art theft as being a person of note, could you explain that to us? There are many artists who created films on their own that no one cares about. Why is this one special? 104.34.202.79 (talk) 17:09, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently, you are also confused about how Wikipedia works. "I don't like so-and-so," is not a valid reason for exclusion from the encyclopedia. You should read WP:NOTABILITY if you really want to challenge the notability of this article's subject. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 22:06, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  How can you challenge what does not exist? I asked a question, you respond with a challenge. Again  there are many artists who created films on their own that no one cares about. Why is this one special? 104.34.202.79 (talk) 22:58, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is she even on Wikipedia? 

message: NOLA1982 has jumped to reverting edits that they  have no basis to revert and made this article about them  bullying other editors  . Nina Paley has done no work as a gender critical feminist. None. Paley is exclusively a trans exclusionary radical feminist. She discussed that in the TERFING and on the other articles sourced. . Her only discussion of gender are that she says transgender people are only the biological sex and not the gender they identify as. Her sources say that outright! She can call herself whatever she chooses. The same way she claims that transgender can but her identity is as a transgender exclusionary radical feminist.   and nothing more. I urge the other editors on this article to observe the edit history . What becomes abundantly clear is NOLA1982 is running this article with no discussion whatsoever. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 19:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Your edit was wrong, in that it called Paley a TERF despite her writings plainly saying otherwise. She is instead critical of all gender constructs. And "TERF" is a non-neutral slur. Binksternet (talk) 22:52, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  My edit was entirely correct. Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist or TERF was a moniker created by feminists , not transgender people. It is no more a slur than "gender critical" only it is more accurate. That you see it as a slur pretty much defines your lack of neutrality. She is not critical of all genders, she is only critical of two. Men and transgender females and has not written anything on any other gender. In her writing she admits to "hating men" , not to being critical of them. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 16:53, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: "The neologism was coined by an inclusive radical feminist online space in 2008 as a way to distinguish between trans-supportive or trans-neutral radical feminists and those who wished to exclude trans women from their feminism. The progenitor of the term, the cisgender feminist Viv Smythe said, “It was meant to be a deliberately technically neutral description of an activist grouping. We wanted a way to distinguish TERFs from other RadFems with whom we engaged who were trans*-positive/neutral, because we had several years of history of engaging productively/substantively with non-TERF RadFems" https://read.dukeupress.edu/tsq/article-abstract/3/1-2/254/91781/Radical-InclusionRecounting-the-Trans-Inclusive 104.34.202.79 (talk) 16:59, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: ...And now you're in violation of WP:No personal attacks. It's not looking good for you here. Binksternet (talk) 17:18, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

text: First you believe a term created by feminists for feminists is a slur, then you reclassify transphobic statements by Nina Paley as "fighting male oppression" , then you attribute Paley's being kicked off social media , losing speaking engagements and having art shows canceled as being "Because people wrote terrible things about her". That you are as bias an editor as I have ever come across. If pointing out your advertised and public profession is a personal attack I am a monkeys uncle. That you are clueless about the subject you are writing on has nothing to do with what I've said, it is obvious in your statements and constant threats. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 17:29, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

text: This whole controversy is poorly-sourced and should be removed.  You guys can argue about whether she's a TERF on your blogs. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:02, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

"Taking in trans “refugees from masculinity” is also doubleplusgood. This is why Liberals back the modern transactivist colonization of womanhood. “Transwomen,” who I will henceforth refer to as trans-identified males, or TiMs, aren’t regarded as colonizers; they’re refugees! And womanhood isn’t even inhabited, not really. Womanhood is a “land without a people,” because women aren’t viewed as people. We’re an open space for men to define."

"My (former?) friends support changing the legal definition of sex from biology to “identity.” If a man says they “feel like a woman,” and someone like me asks, “what does that mean? How do you ‘feel like a woman’? Is ‘woman’ a feeling?” they rush to support the male and condemn me.
I have recently come out as one of those witches who refuses to say males are female; who believes females need sex-segregated spaces like women’s shelters and prisons; who believes women are entitled to say “no” to males for any reason. I have been banned from Facebook* twice and my reddit* account has been suspended permanently. Friends have sent me messages saying they can’t associate with me any longer because I’m so “hurtful” and “ignorant.” I just lost a $2,000 speaking gig with no explanation; since women like me are regularly “no-platformed” as “TERF”s, I assume it’s because of my recently exposed politics."
