What do you mean by "familiarity"?

they involve similar topics which some may see as skeevy.

The focus is personally a little off-putting, but their individual edits are perfectly legitimate and they only edit a few times a year. I don't see any reason for action against them and I don't think any action would make the wiki better.

The username ending in "alt" is mildly concerning.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

It does slightly remind me of that person who would add entries about girls rubbing their butts in pain (I cannot remember their username), but this person seems to have been around the wiki longer than them.

Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

@PiterPitcher: Yeah, I saw the Mario Party edit and it reminded me of the Mario Kart Double Dash!! edit and it just went on from there.

@mightymewtron: You're probably thinking of Ninja Ibukis Bum - don't think this is related to that user, but they're definitely the reason why I find this user's edits worthy of bringing up.

The only IP overlap I saw was with someone who is not and never has been suspended, presumably the other account hasn't made any edits or posts.

Edit: I put a watch on their account for now.

It's entirely possible that they're just crosswicking (which is good form), but the focus is admittedly weird.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
