You can use Social logins (facebook, gmail, and others) and those don’t require email validation. Also, systems that use [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) (SSO) don’t require validation, so you could set up WordPress and contrive to have it let anyone in the world create an account with no means to validate who they are and then use the wp-discourse plugin to authenticate against wordpress.
