Niilopedia: Difference between revisions

'''Niilopedia''', founded on 14 October {{tag|Founded in 2007|2007}}, is the (presumably {{tag|parody}}) wiki created by the {{tag|Finland|Finnish}} internet personality Niilo Paasivirta.  The Niilopedia affects an extremely conservative {{tag|Christianity|Christian}} worldview, and takes all {{tag|conspiracy}} and other {{tag|Fringe science|fringe theories}} seriously as a matter of principle.  As yet, there is no [[:Category:Wiki English|English]]-language Niilopedia, although one has been promised for some time now; the only available language is {{tag|Wiki Finnish|Finnish}}.  Niilopedia was orginally an openly viewable public wiki site, though it is now a {{tag|private}} site, requiring a password to view, the last known public access being March 2019.

The Finnish Niilopedia frequently uses archaic language and defunct terminology, and several pages (especially those concerning {{tag|sexuality}} and gender roles) are [[Cambridge-Dictionary:verbatim|verbatim]] or almost verbatim quotations from out-of-copyright books on {{tag|sexual health}}, published for general reading public in the early twentieth century and reflecting attitudes back then.  All churches and Christian congregations are in the Niilopedia deemed to be too liberal, while 'True Christianity', professed by Niilo and his (fictitious) followers, is declared to be, no religion, but truth and science.  Male {{tag|homosexuality}} is frowned upon, but [[Cambridge-Dictionary:polygamy|polygamy]] and [[Cambridge-Dictionary:concubinage|concubinage]] are seen as Biblical practices, and {{tag|Women|female}} homosexuality is loudly approved of and recommended as part of Christian (polygamous) marriage and/or concubinage.  {{tag|Japan}}ese popular culture and fashions are regarded as indecent and sinful, as are roleplaying games.  Universe beyond Earth is understood in the terms of the geocentric, Ptolemaic model, and modern astronomy condemned as irrational and sinful.
