:This is generally a good heuristic, but there are other heuristics to determine the trustworthiness of a source. For example, Rudder's graphs were also published in his book so they were reviewed by himself and others. Which sources do you find particularly questionable?

::The OP might be referring to sections such as this:(https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpillaction=edit&veswitched=1&oldid=33723#Incel_forums_are_disproportionately_populated_by_suicidal.2C_disabled.2C_autistic.2C_and_ethnic_men) that rely on internet polls with a dubious methodology and lack of typical statistical sampling techniques etc. I agree this is the typical argument a hostile interlocutor responds with when presented with such a body of evidence, so this is an important point.

::: I think readers with such standards will distrust an article that uses "Penis", "Sluts" "ItsOver" as subsection titles anyhow. There is a trade-off between entertainment and signaling high research standards. I think we're striking the balance well currently as the overwhelming majority of sources is reputable.
