I think it would be useful for the recordings that were released by the court on Friday to be included in this article. I don't know what the copyright status of those recordings are though. News outlets seem to be including them in their articles without issue; can we do the same? – Anne drew 16:36, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Under social media activity of accused, many demonstrably right-wing figures (Jordan Peterson, Mike Lindell, James Lindsay and Donald Trump) are named as people DePape would follow. Further in this section is a description of views shifting from far left to far right. This section sources his ex-partner as describing his beliefs as far-left (with no evidence of such past supporting LGBTQ, weed and nudism so hardly 'left' let alone 'far left').. There are links to articles that discuss this further. Can it be expanded, and lead better into the 'misinformation and disinformation' section further below?
DePape also consumed "left wing" media that is not actually left-wing, but says that it is. Media that supposes Russia's invasion of Ukraine is justified because of NATO, continuously spreads COVID misinformation and skepticism, and promotes what is mentioned earlier on the page as vague anti-government stance.
I ask this as some people use DePape's online viewing of such "left wing" sources as The Jimmy Dore Show as evidence he is or was left wing when this cannot be further from the truth. Also additions of how these "left wing" sources have significant overlap with the conservative view that is described in the misinformation and disinformation section. 203.30.13.119 ( talk) 06:37, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
I am concerned that those allowed to edit this page have had such an easy to not only project their opinions on someones character but also create a link between a history of mental health issues and a list of bigoted statements which have no factual backing.
social media follower of people who a minority claim are 'far right'. Sexist remarks? Racist remarks? Firstly, who decides if online posts are sexist? And is Wikipedia, supposedly a home for truth and knowledge the place for personal opinions and bias?
Then there is earlier point I raised, that the editor of this page was very sloppy and outright disgusting in connecting mental health issues with making sexist and racist remarks, oh and following who, Jordan Peterson. That is some severe dehrading work there. so many people suffer from various forms of mental health, myself included, that does not make me a racist and sexist also. This section needs editing asap.
I still cannot understand how fabricating a complete character assination of the attacker is useful. The history of metal health issues may be useful but the reeks of MSM click bait.
You wiki marshalls, need to stop abusing your positions. 195.213.58.151 ( talk) 00:35, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Currently the misinformation/disinformation section reads only as the author's opinions. In cases like this where there isn't strong evidence either way for the motives and what actually happened, it is merely an opinion of the author of this section to characterise and dismiss the concerns over the overarching narrative as "misinformation". The line mentioning a "fake news website" does not name the website in-article (so that it can be verified as fake news) nor does the title of the reference contained in the endnote, relying on readers to simply not check the source and take it at face value. Like most articles on the platform, this entire article reads as a hit-piece against any discussion/investigation of the incident and isn't balanced to 50/50 right vs left perspectives as is required. 203.46.132.214 ( talk) 01:58, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
