2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Essay talk:RationalWiki has an image problem

"but I really got the shits when I saw someone accused of trolling and being a sockpuppet just because they said some mean, bad things about asexuality on the relevant talk page"

? Can you elaborate and even link (if you dare)? Saying "mean bad things about asexuality", if I'm guessing Talk:Asexuality would fall under denigrating people based on their sexual orientation, as offensive remarks, on par with homophobic and transphobic comments. Even if we had tighter civility standards, attacks on asexual people would still be considered unacceptable. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 05:16, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

You have to pick and choose your battles. People getting worked up at a troll who has made bigoted comments, I don't think that's the best hill to die on. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 22:22, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
