A Godwin is a noble, loyal, and well respected character. Not only is he wise he is humble and gentle hearted, but do not be fooled by his humbleness, he will take appropriate actions if need be. A Godwin strives to have the best life he can for himself, Family and friends . If you find yourself a Godwin, be careful not to lose them, because you’ll regret it .

How on earth are all these definitions allowed to be on here?They're absolute rubbish! Godwin is a certified G and a bonafide stud and you cant teach that. His only disadvantage is that he blows people away with his razor sharp wits and dashing looks.
Godwin will go down in History

The act of comparing literally EVERYTHING with Nazi, Hitler, or any ideas behind it (fascism and discrimination, such as racism, sexism, ableism, etc.)
This term taken from Godwin's law (an internet examples of Reductio ad Hitlerum)
Godwinning is dangerous in two ways:
1. It desensitizing people about Nazism real harm, because it's easy to compare everything with Nazi, right?
2. It promotes echo chamber and kills democracy since godwinning is a perfect form of censorship which blocks and shuts down any dissenting opinion, thus expect any groupthink or opinionated, close minded people, or even worse: Totalitarian and Orwellian society when your behaviours are dictated to the very detail
3. It didn't solve anything. Want a difable friendly place? Build it. Want a gender and sex equal zone? Start it by stop making rape jokes---Godwinning is a perfect example of slacktivism
