Once a well respected website that now is filled with atheist extremists, atheist zealots, liberals, moderate leftists who are centrists in denial, enlightenment centrists, centrist extremists, horseshoe theory supporters, neopositivists, scientificists and people who call everything that is not "scientific" nor "materialist" nor "positivist" as "pseudoscience", "antiscience" and "science denial". Attacking all sides and believing everyone is wrong and only their Wiki is right.

A website dedicated to debunking misinformation and spreading a liberal version of politics which amuses conservatives because we find it HILARIOUS that liberals got so pissed off by junk such as Conservapedia so as to start their own version of it.(yes, yes, i know that it was conservapedia editors who started RationalWiki, but you get the point.)
Their information on pseudoscience and conspiracy theories is usually excellent, and they're fully willing to call something (such as homeopathy or other alt-med) out as bullshit without getting caught up in trying to be all "encyclopedic" like Wikipedia does.
However, their information on politics is VERY left-leaning. They use ad-hominems and strawmen to misrepresent and degrade anybody even SLIGHLTLY right-of-center, which is funny because they have fine articles about such logical fallacies. They have a tendency to conflate two unrelated things (ex: NoFap and neo-Nazis) so as to make fun of/ mock one of the things in question (NoFap in this circumstance). While a better name would be leftyWiki (remove all the sensible stuff from the wiki in this case), they do have the sense to criticize communism and socialism.
What's funny is how they continually call Donald Trump an anti-semite, despite the fact that his daughter is a Jew (and so is his son-in-law and grandkids), and that he's had the most pro-Israel administration in decades. (Their other criticism about his idiocy at times is on point.)

RationalWiki : gotEEM!!! he's totally parroting supposed Neo-Nazi stances about how not fapping is a white man's thing (self control and shit). this means he's a NAZI!

Get the RationalWiki mug.1. Something big, hairy, and scary. (No, dude, not your penis...I said big :-) ) that can ACTUALLY happen to you, as opposed to an irrational fear.
2. Something not physically scary, but mentally terrifying yet very real...like an "aw, shit" moment.

Examples of rational fears:
That 90 pound Rottweiler that's about to latch onto your ass like it was a big, meaty, steak.
That 15-year old girl's father after he found out you were studying anatomy instead of geometry.
Worrying that you're gonna flunk geometry because you were studying anatomy instead of geometry.

Hillaryforprison88: The stupid leftys at the rational wiki think being egalitarian means your a chauvinist
Normaldude14: Actually if you read the article it explains how egalitarianism and feminism are not mutually exclusive and that egalitarianism in almost certainly a good thing, and that people who claim to be egalitarians instead of feminist have fundamental misunderstandings of what feminism is and instead choose to lump all feminism into one monolithic ideological project.
Hillaryforprison88: Wait that is reasonably abstract and complex and doesn't instantly fit into my world view, therefor it must be irrational
