Infected RationalWiki - Whiny hugbox for spergs and a clusterfuck of neverending drama on a rapidly declining website.

[Pointless Pedant]

The South Korean politics articles on this wiki are about as disastrous as you'd expect. Written in broken English by a South Korean, they constantly whine about the "alt-lite" and "Western alt-right" in relation to South Korean political parties that have no idea what those are, not to mention the inevitable bollocks about "hate speech". Nor do they have anything to do with the site's ostensible aim of debunking junk science. Pure tripe.

The articles are created by an autistic moron calling himself BluePink. And no, I wasn't just insulting him. He literally says he has ass burgers on his user page and supports the "autism rights movement", whatever that means.

He also wrote a pointless whiny article about how the conservative LDP in Japan are far-right fascist extremists. It's true that Abe's grandfather, who helped to establish the 1955 system of LDP dominance, was an atrocious war criminal, but it doesn't seem right for a progressive to judge people by their heritage...

[Emperor Julian]

Fun little comparison.

They have an article on Pewdeepie

PewDiePie - RationalWiki

rationalwiki.org

Which is longer and more critical than their section on pol pot apologists.

Pol Pot - RationalWiki

rationalwiki.org

And a dangerous quack whose got a couple of people killed.

Jilly Juice - RationalWiki

rationalwiki.org

They're more personally upset about pewdeepie than people actually dying.

I think this is the perfect case study of taking the internet too seriously.

What tickles me is that, for being a fairly left wing site, they seem to repeat modified versions of right-wing talking points on marijuana reform:

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Cannabis

Wasn't the MORE Act introduced by Kamala Harris? Even for being such an unlikable shitbag, I at least applaud Kamala for that.

 

[Freya]

That's just shit. If RW was good for one thing, it was exposing quacks and debunking pseudoscience.

Edit: just noticed the pewdiepie article lists the now quarantined chapotraphouse subreddit as a source.
LOL

Which any dipshit with too much time on their hand could do.

 

[SregginKcuf]

Isn't PewDiePie Jewish himself? but whatever, the oh so human Kim Jong Un definitely must be a fan of RationalWiki

 

[Adamska]

Such a shitty bump for a shitty site.

I was actually half thinking it went dark and died like Noah Antwiler's did when this got necro'd.

 

[Shaka Brah]

Isn't PewDiePie Trump's Chosen himself? but whatever, the oh so human Kim Jong Un definitely must be a fan of RationalWiki

I'm pretty sure he's just ethnically Swedish.

Indeed, why don't we look at Rationalwiki's take on the hottest new topic yet.

[Pinochet Was Right]

I always liked the alt med pages, even after it got invaded by the atheism plus crew, since all the SJW shit was contained to the "those evil mras" pages.

After Gamergate exploded, a lot of sites went to shit and around a quarter of my browsing habits were cut short due to the rampant SJW rage and virtue signaling. (the next quarter was cut short once Trump won) RW was included, I never stepped on the site ever again.

Until 2 days ago. I went back to read some pseudoscience snarking, but now almost every article on a crazy belief has the obligatory "this is a belief of evil rightwing nazi gamergater altright transphobic trump supporting virgin incel mra with guns." claim.

[Catweazle]

Can't be bothered to check if they have a page covering Irony.

Also don't they have the definition the wrong way round?

You know what I just noticed? The reference to Josh's mom being a forum member cites only "Crocels News" which is run by a British lolcow and fake-barrister named Jonathan Bishop. I think he made that account just for the article.

A tenure track professor claims to have been fired (contract not renewed) based on what is written about him on RationalWiki.

RatWiki entry. Winegard was called "pseudoscientist" in the first sentence.

This is probably the biggest joke on rational wikis site. Half the names put here have no description and most of the rest make overly broad statements that dont tell you anything about why they are shit

Their dumbshit Kiwi Farms article still claims DuckDuckGo blocked us, and that search engines deciding what you're allowed to see is apparently a good thing to these nuts. Even though that hasn't been the case in years and was supposedly a glitch that lasted a couple days. RatWiki's usual level of quality.
