Just a bag full of lies & propaganda

Community site full of terrible hate and adult content

Not bad, but it does seems to have a leftist slant sometimes to its detriment

Not a reliable site for TRUTH. openly chides true Christianity, not understanding Scripture because it has not been revealed to them by GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.

rationalwiki.org berichtet einseitig atheistisch. Argumente der Gegenseite werden komplett unterschlagen!

They seem to have nothing good to say about anyone.
It's just a raunchy humor site, I guess. At least, I'm certain they find the site funny. It's all insult humor. To each his own.

Dismantles the cranks. Warning, may contain sarcasm.

Great anti-pseudoscience, anti-quackery, anti-authoritarianism resource!
Rational Wiki is slightly biased pro-left no doubt. There are, however, some articles that do criticize the left or other people besides just white conservatives:

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Bait-and-switch#Motte_and_bailey
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Black_supremacy

RW does have fair share of opinion crept in, though, ought to be noted. Thankfully, like Wikipedia, there sometimes is the "Citation needed" -note in place where a citation hasn't been added. Oftentimes citations can be found.
Sections on logical arguments are gold!
Recommended alongside many other sources.

With the pervasiveness of misinformation, half truths and outright lies to be found in social media it is absolutely necessary that sites like this exist to inform and educate and to foster critical thinking.
1
Not exactly the most accurate, but very entertaining.
2
Site satirique combattant diverses pseudosciences.
Ne cache pas ses prise de position.

This is a good and useful site since it promotes rational thought and helps debunks some of the more pernicious lies, disinformation campaigns and other poison that can be found on the internet.
I would consider this child-friendly as well since one would want their children to be wise and think for themselves.

This website is run by feminists, which means that everything in this article is biased against male. Use this site for humor only.
2
Some language (e.g., bulls--t). View it before your kids do.

Whether it is a joke or somebody actually believes crazy stuff they write on this site, it should be marked as such instead of masquerading as a wikipedia-type page.
2
I'll start with an edited tweet by Anita Sarkeesian.
*****
Metapedia has poor ratings because it's (at least it seems to be) a Neo-nazi wiki.
Rationalwiki may not take itself seriously, but it deserves to be treated equally to its slightly less rational counterparts.
Helpful
Very informative, covers the main areas of pseudoscience (religious or otherwise), conspiracy theories and alien-spotting. Calls a spade a spade.

No viruses or any other sort. However, it is terribly biased towards third wave feminism/atheism :
"Christina Hoff Sommers (born 1950) is a self-declared feminist"
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Christina_Hoff_Sommers
-Note the word "self-declared"
Questionable use of language and is also a for-atheism site. I am not religious, but Wikipedia is a better source of unbiased information than this site.
TL;DR
Website is safe, information is slightly biased
1
They bias here is amazing. The info here is mostly factual but cherry-picked so any factuality is canceled out. They slander and bash anyone who does not share their Atheism+ SJWhiner viewpoints regardless of what those groups/people believe.

This is a wiki that catalogs all kinds of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience. Naturally a portion of the population such as flat Earthers are really really going to hate it.
Bookmarked.
