![]() ![]() ![]() | 72 | Brave BooksCreate draft (official website) is a conservative children's book company founded in 2021. Their blatant mission, according to them, is to arm American children with conservative alternatives to mainstream and especially progressive children's literature so that they fight as child soldiers in the culture war against evil liberal values that are plaguing mainstream American culture and making them hate the country they live in and the values it was built upon. Their books lure children with colorful illustrations, anthropomorphic animal characters (which is a surefire way to elicit a reaction from the furry fandom, in which many of its members are left-leaning), an immersive universe, adventure stories, and activities to morals crafted with conservatism in mind, ranging from apolitical and benign ones ("Eat healthily", The Candy Calamity; "Persevere", Fiona's Fantastical Fort; "Overcome fear", Surfing Past Fear [co-written by Bethany Hamilton of freaking Soul Surfer fame]) to explicitly political and wicked ones ("People can't be transgender", Elephants Are Not Birds; "Abortion is wrong", Little Lives Matter [sounds familiar?]; "Critical race theory is wrong", More Than Spots & Stripes). They've rounded up conservative figures (including the wingnuts), such as Jack Posobiec, Dan Crenshaw, the Hodgetwins, Zuby, Dinesh and Debbie D'Souza, Julie Banderas, and Michael Flynn, to co-write the books and thus add their fame factors to the brand (Also, note how they list reputable media that have discussed Brave Books and/or their product[s] on their website and don't link to them to fool people). Hell, Brave Books has published The Plot Against the King and The Plot Against the King: Part 2: 2,000 Mules, which are written by Kash Patel and meant to defend his subject of loyalty, Donald Trump, with medieval fantasy retellings of real political events starring caricatures of real people and perpetuating false claims regarding the Trump-Russia connection and 2020 U.S. presidential election. And this is all for children! Politico article of interest. Also, treat yourself to Jimmy Kimmel ripping The Plot Against the King and Brave Books. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | 77 | Haitian Revolution. Given that we have articles on both the American and French Revolutions, the Haitian Revolution, which was just as impactful (the world's only country founded by a successful slave rebellion), deserves its own article too. It's currently just a section on the Haiti article, and that doesn't do the subject justice. At all. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | 82 | E;REdit draft. Also known as ERofthesemicolon, EsemicolonR, and PUNISHE;R. E;R is a Far-Right/Crypto-Fascist movie reviewer who mostly uses the "I'm just playing a character" card to make everybody be brainwashed into unironically believing his lies that his Far-Right political beliefs and extremely unsubtle Far-Right dogwhistles are just "Jokes" (E;R himself even admitted that all of his so-called "Jokes" are actually him trying to Red-Pill everybody into believing the Jewish Question over on his Gab account in November 2017). Some of his most infamous videos are: His Steven Universe review were he used the David Reimer & John Money gender reassignment controversy of 1966 as a straw-man for why LGBTQ people are all "monsters" and pedophiles, and even inserted a 4-minute-long unedited Hitler speech about how Jews control everything, his so-called "Non-Racist" review of Get Out which was basically him being extremely racist to black people for 39 minutes (with a side of TONS of blackface-type imagery), etc. I'm surprised RationalWiki doesn't have an article on him that documents all of his dogwhistle-filled reviews. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 14 | A few additions could be made to the list of cranks and pseudoastrologers that can be found around the internet, who mess around with physics they don't understand and 'prove Einstein wrong' and the like. Here are a few so far that aren't on RW yet: One is Roger Anderton, who has some videos on youtube that are exactly what you'd expect of doing maths and physics wrong, it seems similar to what Stephen Crothers does and things that Robitaille creates crank rants about, and those both have entire personal pages. Another one I can't immediately find any more, perhaps someone else here has more luck, but at least a few years back the stuff was easy to find: some Russian aeronautics/aerospace engineer who had some website and youtube videos, a lot with ugly yellow background, of course all about how 'Einstein was wrong', you know the drill, I seem to remember he called his own stuff 'absolutism', or something similar, but obviously a search on that gets you all kinds of things that are unrelated so if someone knows and remembers or finds them, those can also be added to the crackpot list. |

Considering the subject of many articles here, it sounds like it deserves a place in that discussion, while so far it isn't there anywhere, not even mentioned on any page as paragraph or source. |

It became more well known for the controversy it generated and how both sides of the American political spectrum are upset about the perceived pedophilic content of the film despite assertions by both its director and Netflix that the film was intended to criticise the sexualisation of young girls. |

With so many different groups with different opinions crankery is bound to be found. Perfect for this wiki. |
