This website claims it was created to present the clear "rational" take on subjects without Wikipedia's "word-mingling" and "presenting both sides" on important topics.
In reality it's just full of political "hot takes" you would see from the likes of PZ Myeres. Basically nothing more than a condensed form of blogspam.

FYI, any polarized partisan movement seems to be liable to their bias when it comes to anything, science included.
Maybe it has something to do with believing in an extreme view that is all antithesis or thesis, no synthesis.

Completely fucking wrong. It exists because Conservapedia's admin banned all his libertarian users, who then went over to form Rationalwiki. This is because he was/is a christcuck and could not handle criticism of his religion, even by soft libertarian standards.

>Additionally, it's worth nothing that RationalWiki is deemed to have a slight (politically center-left) bias compared to Wikipedia — and that's no surprise, as we explicitly do not aim for a neutral point of view. Note also that the comparison made here to Wikipedia is not to be confused with us considering RationalWiki an encyclopedia (we don't).

>One of many ways which distinguishes RW from encyclopedias (e.g. Wikipedia) is that we openly avoid any pretentions to neutrality on controversial subjects. When one side of an issue has the scientific consensus to back it up, and the other clearly doesn't, part of our mission is placing the two side by side and calling it like we sees it.

Otherkin are often confused with transgender individuals, despite the fact that the two are in no way related, and that transgender people are supported by both science and law. Otherkin themselves are known to make the comparison, however, and many of them claim to be engaged in a "civil rights struggle", while critics contend that they are delusional or mentally ill. [16]

Many modern reactionaries argue that, if one must accept trans people as having valid ideas, then one must also accept otherkin for the same reason. This comparison is flawed.[17]

[Anonymous No.10444025]

Why they make no sense

>The otherkin fandom is largely fictional, for three glaring reasons:
>Most otherkin identify as an animal that is perceived as "cool" or "majestic" in Western culture, such as wolves, foxes, dolphins and bears. Otherkin never identify as insects or vermin, although these animals make up the majority of known animal species. This shows that they are pretending and want to have a glamourous value attached to them.
>If otherkin were truly more like non-humans than humans, then they would not be giving themselves the designation "otherkin" because they would not be able to comprehend and use human language. Not to mention, they would not be using the Internet.
>We don't truly understand the animals and their thought processes enough to know how someone can identify as one of them.

They do. They are pushing for non scientific beliefs and trying to shape the opinion of it. While they aren't changing literal data (that I know of) they are infesting actual scientists minds with unscientific thinking and demanding that only acceptable answers be used.
