What is Holla Forums's opinion on RationalWiki? Does it like it or is it to Holla Forums what Conservapedia is to Holla Forums?
What is Holla Forums's opinion on RationalWiki...

I don't even know wtf it is!

Terminally infected with idpol. Recommend ultimate sanction.
Owen Thompson
I already know it's not liberalpol, I just wanted to know your opinion on it.
Matthew Ross
It's pretty good at despooking what it doesn't agree with. The problem is that it respooks.
Thankfully, that's almost exclusively limited to articles that involve social issues, which itself would have been caused by that SJWiki exodus.
Henry Jenkins
I'd have thought Holla Forums would love conservapedia. Does it not have enough mindless generalisations and outright lies for their tastes?
Anyway, rationalwiki just toes the mainstream government-endorsed line. It's like BBC news - not overtly right wing, but totally unquestioning of the status quo.
Isaiah Edwards
According to them, it's "filled with cucks". So basically, it's not right-wing enough for their tastes.
It's also filled with religious nutjobs, blames shootings on videogames, and thinks weed causes brain damage.
Jonathan Howard
It's useful when your mom or some normie friend mentions that one incredible thing they read on the Internet and you want to check out what they actually stumbled upon. It's usually pretty weak when they foray into politics though, especially with the edgy liberal tone they often employ.
So… good when it comes to woo-debuking but pretty bad beyond that.
Wyatt Bennett
Anyone know of a good left-wing alternative to RW?
Tyler Reyes
It's edgy liberals.
Tyler Hughes
Sounds a lot like Holla Forums if you replace videogames with melanin.

Read this for some rage
Isaiah Watson
It's very good at its original intent: scientific skepticism. At worst these articles are correct but barren (i.e. the race articles because liberals are uncomfortable with race)
Unfortunately their annoying centrist liberal attitude permeates the site.
Kayden Thompson
Not OP but I was floating around the idea of making a wiki for radical/far left politics since common, accessible resources for this are slim to none. In comparison, right wing thought is childishly simplistic enough that it's detailed everywhere
Luke Powell
These articles are written by people who spent their whole lives arguing with right-wing nuts and it shows. There is some straight up socjus in there.
Lincoln Long
see their reverse racism article:
Levi Ortiz
The problem is when scientific scepticism morphs into unquestioning acceptance of whatever the powerful lobbying groups advocate.
If RationalWiki had been around a few decades ago, they would have claimed that smoking was 100% safe (big tobacco wouldn't lie to us!) and anyone questioning it must be a conspiracy nut.
They will be the absolute last place to ever accept any new science which overturns old, accepted ideas.

Brody Sullivan
"Reverse racism" as a rightist talking point is pretty retarded. A case against affirmative action is easy to make without getting salty.
Jose Jackson
I think metapedia is more up Holla Forumss alley.
Dylan Jenkins
If anything, capitalism is a deterrent to social mobility. The entrenched elites can just simply block out the people they don't like.
Tyler King
Moreso than you might think: ED has a modest archive of drama in the community that Metapedia inexplicably has.
