AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

758 replies

Honestly, this man is obsessed. He has now created a program to scrape and grade Mumsnet threads from this board.

What is this?

Oh yes, I have downloaded most of mumsnet and we will be doing embeddings of the content to try to understand how does the rot and hate builds and spreads.

I never had so much hate and delusion on my hard drive before 😅

I'm not sure, but didn't the Bluestocking Gerbils come into existence in the context of a PhD student from Aston University scraping MN for their thesis?

I recall that there were efforts to confuse the process, posts in different languages, and then somebody referred to gender activists as 'Foucault-addled grievance gerbils', which became a t-shirt, and then somehow the gerbils set up a factory to make the t-shirts themselves, and the rest is history, Bluestocking style.
So the gerbils have a noble backstory, they're not just pretty faces - but they are that tooSmile
I'd advise AidaP not to mess with the gerbils, they saw off the last scraper...

Yep. The gerbils do exist thanks to Eden and her scrape of mumsnet.

They are currently practicing a new routine. Here they are displaying the name of their new cheer routine.

I'm looking forward to his analysis of the Bluestocking threads. I wonder what his computer model will make of the gerbils?

The vibe I'm getting from the posts by Aida posted upthread is a shitter version of Dr Evil from Austin Powers, with an overarching theme of megalomaniacal superiority delusion.

Scout2016 · 28/04/2026 22:43

Could this analysis give us a percentage of how many OPs are considered to be being unreasonable?

My hunch is it would be very low but that there are so many AIBU threads because many women, not having the confidence of even the most mediocre of men, doubt themselves even when it is overwhelming clear they are right.

I would also quite like to see a top ten (or 20!) of diagrams - although the criteria of what makes for "best" is possibly too highly subjective.

(Edited because I realised original wording could be misinterpreted.)

ArabellaScott · 28/04/2026 22:42

Fucksake, mate.

Whatever made project keeps him busy leaves less time for him to be out there doing even worse shit, I suppose.

He won't understand them.

The posters are too erudite and a great many of the posts stray into the esoteric.

He will be mightily confused by the graphics and the in-jokes.

The sense of community and loyal support which the posters have for one another will baffle him.

I reckon we should look at his HD and know for sure….

This is the same man who offered to come to another mumsnet user's city and was offended when she very politely declined to meet him offline. He is extremely creepy and misogynistic, his profile pic is also the stuff of nightmares.

Yes, I think it is the same poster.

VerityUnreasonble · 28/04/2026 22:25

When he's done with it can we repurpose it to grade style and beauty? Surely wedding guest outfit threads are where the rot and hate truly builds and spreads?

Parking threads would be a rich mine of information and highly gradeable.

I note he also objects to the proposals for social media bans for under 16s.
Because vulnerable trans kids...
I think vulnerable kids have had enough glitter family shit already, thanks.

I’d prefer he didn’t, tbh.

This strikes me as an incredibly male thing to do. And spend time doing.

Please tell me you're joking about there being a wife. Please.

God imagine being someone so incensed by women who refuse to say men can be woman that you resort to this level of batshittery!

Hopefully he's reached the threads about what happens when you scrape MN Grin

What does happen?

He really can't bear the fact we not only don't accept him as any kind of woman, but we don't think much of him as a person either. I truly pity his wife.

I think he needs to get out more.

I think the more a sad sack spends in mummy's basement the less he spends threatening women with splintery rolling pins personally.
