      Wikipedia neglects to mention that his fave account name “minisoldr” comes from the fact that he liked to collect Nazi soldier dolls. I’m not making that up. And it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

      A question for everybody: What else did Wikipedia neglect?

      Mark Robinson (American politician)

      2024 gubernatorial run

      In September 2024, CNN alleged that Robinson had made many graphic remarks on the online porn forum Nude Africa from 2008 to 2012 under the username “minisoldr”, with Robinson being linked to accounts named “minisoldr” on several websites, including Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Disqus and BlackPlanet.

      The remarks made on Nude Africa included expressing support for slavery, using various homophobic, racial, and antisemitic slurs, enjoying transgender pornography, admitting to peeping at women showering in public showers without their knowledge when he was 14 and continuing to fantasize about the experience as an adult, self-identifying as a “perv,” and calling himself a “Black Nazi,” at one time stating that he would prefer Adolf Hitler over Barack Obama as United States president.

      Another remark labelled Martin Luther King, Jr. a “commie bastard” and then stated: “If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer K**n!” CNN highlighted that “minisoldr” on Nude Africa shared many of Robinson’s personal details, and used several unconventional phrases that Robinson later used on Facebook from 2014 to 2017.

      Robinson denied the allegations. Without evidence, he accused Josh Stein, his main opponent for the governorship, of being responsible for the discovery of the Nude Africa account. Politico published a story, on the same day as CNN, reporting that Robinson’s email was registered on Ashley Madison, a website designed for married people seeking extramarital affairs.

      Weeks prior, online publication The Assembly had published allegations by six people who said they witnessed Robinson visiting video pornography shops up to five times a week in Greensboro in the 1990s and 2000s. Before the CNN and Politico stories broke, Robinson was reportedly pressured by staff and members of the Trump presidential campaign to withdraw from the gubernatorial race due to rumors of a controversial story leaking to the news that involved Robinson’s alleged activity on pornographic websites in the 2000s.

      Jonathan Bridges, who managed the campaign of former congressman Mark Walker, and Scott Lassiter, a Republican candidate for state senate, both called on Robinson to suspend his campaign. Robinson announced he planned to stay in the race. The Democratic National Committee then launched an ad campaign in North Carolina to highlight Trump’s endorsement of him.

      That’s just recently of course. The table of contents has more to explore.
