If you click the "talk" link at the top of the page, there's a discussion about the original header image for the article, "Boops boops in a bucket," depicting just that. Because the image committed the unforgivable sin of being slightly whimsical on a Wikipedia article about a fish, someone went on a lengthy crusade to get it replaced.

The talk page is an all-time classic of petty Wikipedia drama.
And likely intends to do so for life.
Speedy is relative. It's in response to monarchies which would, if they didn't like you but didn't have a case against you, lock you up "pending trial" for the rest of your life. The point was just to prevent that.
Gripe also originally meant sickness before it had its modern meaning of complaint.
The kids in the top one are so excited about their newfound Freedom(tm) to toil away in the mines.
This is a fair bit worse than poor use of money.
Octopodes nuts?
The root of it is transphobia because before the Olympics started, they predicted that because trans athletes are allowed like they have been for over 20 years, they'll dominate every event despite that not happening before and nothing having changed recently. Since that didn't happen, because admitting that they were wrong is very clearly not an option, they accuse cis athletes that they deem not sufficiently feminine of being trans. People who don't really follow what's going on but take the right wing position by default believe them, and it reinforces their biases, so it works as propaganda despite a complete lack of basis in reality.
As a general rule, when it comes to any science, the version you learn in grade school is extremely simplified to the point of being almost entirely useless. To draw a parallel to physics, if you ask a physicist "how many states of matter are there?", they'd probably consider it a difficult and poorly defined question, the exact distinction between a distinct state and a subset/variant of a state is up for discussion, but any coherent model has at least 20 states. What you're saying is the equivalent of "what's so hard about solid, liquid and gas?"
It's not a modern standards thing, Genghis Khan was seen as a complete monster in his own time.
