Who will be horrified (or angered or distressed) on reading or knowing of the existence of the Worldbuilding Stack Exchange site or any post(s) present on it?

By 'who will', I mean any futuristic/magical/real/hypothetical/etc being(s)/race(s)/world(s)/etc.

Creative answers are welcome, but don't weave too much of a story (unless it's worth it). You may refer to the horrifying capacity of any particular post (question, answer or even comment) on WB SE. You are also encouraged to refer to popular fictional characters.

    $\begingroup$ While interesting, I don't see any way to determine the 'right' answer to this question, which makes it 'opinion-based'. However, this seems like it might go over better in meta, or even more in chat. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @kingledion Maybe one can consider broadening the scope if that is the consensus. I had the same doubt when posting this. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @ghosts_in_the_code If you are in doubt when posting a question on WorldBuilding you can use the Sandbox on the Meta. There you can get feedback on things like the scope, style, grammar, ... all this general stuff before releasing it onto the Main Site. $\endgroup$

Wonderfully creative authors who worked hard on fantastic concepts...and never get quoted or credited on the site.

(Side glance toward F.M. Busby and Cordwainer Smith)

  • $\begingroup$ Your answer, while probably true, is so short that it has made it to the review queue for low quality answers. As such, there is a risk that it gets deleted if you do not flesh it out. The reason is, as kingledion points out, is that it would fit better as a comment than a full answer. $\endgroup$

A zealot with the knowledge of what truth is and that the truth and only the truth should be teached and discussed.

All those blasphemous ideas on this site only spread misinformation about the world we are living. The world functions exactly as described in the <insert holy scripture here> and anything which even discusses those falsehoods, perverted thoughts and vile lies should be banned, burned and the readers should be punished !!!!!

  • $\begingroup$ This is actually quite true. I had a 'zealot' have a go at one of my questions asking about if clones have fingerprints or maybe it was the other clone question on how to grow them fast. Either way, he earned my first and only down vote that day when he failed to answer the question and tried to answer instead with if <insert any religion here> would even allow such a sacrilegious unethical demon-possessed creature to exist...OK, I added the last part. I was actually surprised I hadn't seen more answers like that until I realised the moderators are probably very good at removing them. $\endgroup$

Different race(s) or being(s) seeing tech leaks on the site. Almost like Wiki-leaks. This causes interstellar wars, espionage etc.
