Cherry-picked is right! The original thread picks on the SeRCH foundation, which got a little over 1% of the grant money based on their own figures. The grant was to "support and expand their signature program ... which amplifies the voices of Black, Indigenous, women of color and non-binary people of color in STEM fields". That's what the money is going toward. There are a lot of people who become enraged at the idea of their money going toward causes like that, and those people are called "bigoted asshole racist pieces of shit." Indeed those people should not donate to Wikipedia.
I don't pretend to know what the hell the sentence about counterspaces and hyperspace and fluid "place-times" means, but it sounds like someone reading the words "hyperlink" or "daemon" and concluding the Internet is woo-woo mysticism. They're shaking their fist at these words without even attempting to understand what they mean. They say in that very sentence that they're borrowing terms from fiction because they find them useful. It's the height of cherry-picking and straw-manning to criticize all of Wikipedia's grant-giving because 1% of it went to a recipient with otherwise noble goals that uses weird words sometimes.
