72Brave 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.

76Haitian 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.

121The Daily Wire.Wikipedia Shapiro's website (currently a re-direct to his page, btw), founded in 2015. Launched DailyWire+ this year, which is a video on demand site full off podcasts and videos filled with wingnut BS, like this thing. Are you're a Reaganite, Trumpist or MAGA? Then you will definitely love this site.

18Ralph BakshiWikipedia is an animator who has been known for his hard-hitting political works, launching mainstream adult animation head-on, and also never being afraid to satirize anyone and everyone. His works of note on this wiki would likely include Fritz the Cat,Wikipedia an interesting piece of America's social revolution that started in the 1960s. It gave the middle finger to the notion that animation was a kids' genre by going so raunchy that it became the first animated film that the MPA gave an X rating, with lots of graphic sex, language, violence, drug usage, and a whole host of other stuff you sure as heck wouldn't want a child to watch. Heavy Traffic also played out in a similar fashion, being Ralph's passion project, and also being filled to the brim with a lot of X rated content. This was also part of where his strong social commentary become even more apparent. The latter aspect of Heavy Traffic would climax into Coonskin, a film that especially sought to bring down the negative treatment of the African-American community by using every stereotype of African Americans to flip them on their head and lampoon said stereotypes. However, despite never seeing the film, CORE lobbied hard against its release for its use of blackface (never having seen it themselves), going as far as to throw smoke bombs in theaters. In the end, he had to take on a fantasy film called Wizards, but still managed to sneak a level of commentary with how the villain's weapon was Nazi propaganda. I wish I could talk about the other ones, but that would best be saved for his article. If you need more information, I highly recommend that you watch Animation Lookback: Ralph Bakshi on YouTube, which goes over his history. In fact, Mat Brunet, the guy who made it, even got a follow from Bakshi himself on Twitter.

135Since we now have an article on Nintendo, how about covering the other scumbags in the gaming industry: ActivisionWikipedia (Most famously known for the Blitzchung Controversy. As well as several allegations of sexual harassement & discrimination, workplace harassement, multiple workplace walkouts…), UbisoftWikipedia (most recently known for the sexual misconduct accusations leaked out in 2020 and their boss feigning ignorance and delivering a half-botched excuse & several controversies around Watch Dogs: Legion, such as hiring a Transphobic voice actress), Electronic ArtsWikipedia (Most famously known for their loot boxes (which they later on called "Surprise Mechanics") that they put in almost every single game, including their FIFA series. Which led to this happening. Which led to EA embarrassing itself by trying to sue one of these countries for following their laws. As well as other criticisms that pushed the other wiki to give it its own page), KonamiWikipedia (on how it treats its employees and former employees) & Acclaim EnterainmentWikipedia. The latter one went bankrupt in 2004 due to its own stupidity. This video explains some stuff that isn't mentioned in the Wikipedia article, such as animal abuse.

54Murdoch MurdochCreate draft ([1]). A Far-Right Propaganda animation series that is literally a hideously ugly Wojak clip-art eyesore. I'm surprised RationalWiki doesn't have an article on this Far-Right Propaganda animation series.

80Pipkin PippaCreate draft. A VTuberWikipedia who works for PhaseConnect, it is under this agency that she has been enabled to dogwhistle to an Alt-Right/Far-Right/Neo-Nazi audience (especially /pol/ and Kiwi Farms) and continuously get away with: In this clip, you can see Pipkin Pippa manipulating her Japanese co-worker into thinking that Kiwi Farms is a 'good place' (when in reality, it's actually a Alt-Right/Far-Right/Neo-Nazi honeypot, and a cyberbully honeypot), calling them her "Kiwi Bros". In this timestamp you can see her clearly reacting positively to the notion of Joshua Moon talking about her over on Kiwi Farms (Thhrang (A.K.A. Granthh) (the user who initiated the conversation about Moon in that clip) later went on to become a mod in her chat. During this time he was not only ACTIVE on Kiwi Farms but also facilitated+encouraged her breaking moral and ethical rules. This ended w/ him being fired. Thhrang (A.K.A. Granthh) also supported and encouraged interactions with former GamerGate figures such as Mister Metokur (of whom Pipkin Pippa is a big fan of) (and it also still doesn't help that Mister Metokur is an unironic fan of Murdoch Murdoch (a Far-Right Propaganda animation series))). In this clip, you can see Pipkin Pippa heartlessly mocking George Floyd's death in the context of a "Cop VTuber" debuting. In this clip, you can see her denying the Holocaust and heartlessly laughing about it (Note: Due to the full stream being RIGHTFULLY taken down by PhaseConnect, this is the only footage from that stream that was saved). In this clip, you can see her unironically believing in the Jewish Question with her chat. And lastly, here, she references the extremely infamous "Happy Merchant" meme after being donated "Shekels", asks "Is that too far?", and then laughs. This is just the tip of the iceberg regrading Pipkin Pippa's true colors, as there is so much more of her Far-Right bigotry that has been neglected.

80E;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.

14A 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.

84El Yunque (organization)Wikipedia which is either a secret Roman Catholic organisation committed to using all means (legal and illegal) to preserve the church's power, or is a baseless conspiracy theory. It seems to focus on Mexico and to a lesser extent other Spanish-speaking countries, but is also allegedly active in the USA.

87There is a website humancondition.comCreate draft about 'the human condition', mainly stuff from Jeremy Griffith,Wikipedia a biologist, whose work the late Harry ProsenWikipedia greatly advocates. At a first glance, the quality of the material is dubious, but some of it seems almost cult-like with 'transformation affirmations' from people who feel 'transformed' through this eye-opening material. Some of it also reads dubiously like psychoanalysis or at least its kinds of immunising strategies or weird claims. Like 'people naturally unconsciously stop listening and don't want to hear about this subject that I come to tell an important truth about, but I was lucky to not have this aversion so I could understand it and share it and it will save us all', this is almost literally the message, which, for something that claims to be based in science, is awfully propagandistic and evangelical. It is a trademarked organisation 'World Transformation Movement', and the first video after an interview they have is literally 'your block to the most wonderful of all gifts', which reads an awful lot like claims from psychoanalysis, which is of course always right because it already explains that people will reject it for unconscious reasons that psychoanalysis explains, and similar immunising strategies of pseudoscience. Further it has some political aspects, mentioning somewhere 'death by dogma left wing threat' and 'saving western civilisation from left wing dogma', while not having any such thing on 'right wing' or 'capitalism'. Perhaps the titles are just clickbaity and it goes into it in nuance in the essays themselves, but some of it is raising some flags, though I couldn't be bothered to check everything yet. So because it is so questionable, perhaps some good rationalists of various backgrounds need to look into it and create a write up of their findings in articles here on RW. There are ads for this stuff regularly popping up on youtube on just about anything for different people, so as it attempts to force its way into popular discourse, it seems in need of some rational treatment.

93Looking for DarwinCreate draft, a book by Lloyd Spencer Davis, might deserve its own article, as it proclaims to be "a search for meaning in a world that pits evolution against creationism, Intelligent Design of an all-seeing God versus the blind hand of Natural Selection". 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.

7Neil Horan,Wikipedia defrocked Irish Catholic priest known for his outrageous protests preaching about the end times, the most infamous of which is perhaps the incident in the 2003 Formula 1 Grand Prix, besides his antisemitic leanings and support for Adolf Hitler. Not only that, he was also alleged to have played an indecent game of hide-and-seek with a little girl, though was unfortunately acquitted; he did, however, show support for convicted actor and paedophile Rolf HarrisWikipedia, as Neil was spotted outside the court during Harris's trial.

12Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons,Wikipedia German federal agency responsible for examining and censoring media they deem to be dangerous for the youth. While born out of good intentions, e.g. atoning for past sins done by the Nazis, some of their decisions reeked of crankery, e.g. the ban on River RaidWikipedia as a knee-jerk reaction to a moral panic, and on the use of Nazi imagery by video games, the censorship of which ultimately backfired on them, when efforts by game developers to bowlderise the likes of Wolfenstein in order for them to be legally sold in Germany amounted more to Holocaust denial than protecting the youth, as it essentially strips the games of the historical elements it uses extensively for its narrative.

107The Kali YugaWikipedia: In Hinduism, this is supposed to be the dark age in a supposed four-stage cycle, with the other three being the Satya Yuga, the Treta Yuga, and the Dvapara Yuga. It has been been incorporated into esoteric fascist philosophy multiple times since the 1930s, often with a particular interest in its predicted end and the subsequent dawn of the Satya Yuga (a golden age), which is comparable to the Christian end times or the Germanic pagan Ragnarok. It has also crept into many New Age movements, unfortunately this usually comes by way of the the aforementioned esoteric fascist philosophy.

17Popular PsychologyWikipedia Popular Science while not rigorously scientific is useful for teaching the general public scientific ideas. Same with Pop Psychology. Unfortunately, Psychology is already a "soft" science rife with opinion and unreproducable ideas. Popular Psychology is sometimes barely indistinguishable from self-help ideas.

71NarcissismWikipedia The Pop Psychology concept, not the Personality disorder. Popularized by Psychs such as Doctor Romani (A survivor) and Sam Vaknin, an admitted and proud NPD sufferer who calls God and Jesus narcissists, promotes his own brand of self-projected psychological woo, generally paints a negative perception of Psychology of the "Psychology calls people/views people as 'objects'" sort. He calls it a "loss of ego" and his self a "life-threatening vacuum". This sort of pseudopsychology is damaging because it preys on abuse survivors and gives then extremely maladaptive coping patterns for trauma, starting a cycle of failed relationships and many people who believe this stuff think they're "drawn" to Narcissists and every relationship they had in the past was with one if it failed. Ironically might be a way to avoid accountability in some cases.

Despite making claims that the game (along with others such as the Christchurch-themed The Shitposter) is "satire" ostensibly to poke fun at cancel culture and the current sociopolitical climate, developer 2Genderz Productions is clearly intending to troll and sow controversy through their so-called "games" based on their antisemitic and racially-charged drivel on their website.
