Update: He still has not responded tome, and not long ago, on a segment of UsefulNotes/Brazil speaking of current president Bolsonaro, he changed wording stating that the president is far-right to: "'far-right' (by the mostly leftist-leaning standards of the local politics" with obvious Scare Quotes.

I barely even know what they're trying to claim there; are they saying Bolsonaro is a liberal or something?
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
I know people who study Brazilian politics professionally, and I've never heard the claim that Bolsonaro is only far-right by Brazilian standards.
The use of a pothole to Political Correctness Gone Mad in reference to real life is a NRLEP violation, and if they're not responding to messages and continuing to make questionable edits, a mod should probably talk to them.
I've looked into the matter further and found additional edits on top of others reported. They have been suspended:
Seemingly, they thought the pastor's opinions were more deserving of a protest than the thousands of deaths and wide-scale oppression inflicted upon Christians and other religious minorities under Islamic regimes.

Adding Scare Quotes around the 'actual' in "actual non-binary people" on YMMV.New Warriors 2020.
Please do not add on this query unless there is something substantial being pointed out, since they've already been suspended.
v - Fixed, thank you.

Wercury seems to be editing with a clear bias in mind when it comes to any examples with a progressive slant.
The most blatant entry was on Assassin's Creed Syndicate. The example in question speaks of the game developers' seeming attempts to address criticism about only having White Male Leads, to which he added "by a handful of 'journalists'" in what is a pretty opaque attempt to undermine the opinion by claiming it comes from a small, unreliable source.
Another example was changing an entry on Street Fighter IV with Ambiguous Gender from "Even if she's confirmed to be transgender, her personally-held gender identity qualifies her to be listed" to "assuming she's really a woman". While Flip-Flop of God goes back and forth over whether or not Poison is a pre-op, post-op or any other specific variation of trans, or even trans at all, the one thing that has never changed is that she DOES identify as a woman. The entry is simply casting doubt on her womanhood unnecessarily, which (generally speaking) is considered transphobic in practice.
On Horizon Zero Dawn - Old World, he added "obsolete and inaccurate" to describe the Out of Africa theory to an entry which said that an Earth Mother character symbolized said theory. Note that theory is NOT considered obsolete nor inaccurate by any accredited academic source. However, a lot of people with specific political opinions will try to misrepresent the theory or discredit it.
And lastly, there's the edits he made just this morning, where he tried to sneak a Sink Hole to Political Correctness Gone Mad to entries describing real-life opinions on pornography and microaggressions.
Most of said entries I (or someone else) have either edited or deleted, and I didn't even go over EVERY single edit of his that seemed "questionable". I sent him a PM this morning specifically about the Political Correctness Gone Mad misuse, but I also told him that he seemed to be editing with a pretty blatant agenda and that the wiki is not the place for Righting Great Wrongs. He hasn't gotten back to me yet.
