Anti-Conservapedia
From RationalWikiWiki
Anti-Conservapedia is a catchall term for anything on RationalWiki that was created in opposition to Conservapedia. It is the predominant movement on RationalWiki, with most of RW's integral members having founded or joined the site in opposition to Conservapedia (thus setting a direction for RationalWiki that will last for some time). In terms of utility, users expend more work on Conservapedia-centric efforts than any other single aspect of the site. The movement exists opposite the post-Conservapedia movement.
When discussing the site, anti-Conservapedia refers to any articles in the CPspace, as well as any articles created in the spirit of opposing Conservapedia. The latter include many of the articles on religion and most of the sexuality articles. The sexual anatomy articles (i.e. Cunt, Penis, Clitoris, etc) in particular were created specifically because Conservapedia systematically deleted articles with such names.
When discussing people, anti-Conservapedia refers to the users who joined RationalWiki because of Conservapedia[1] — members of the anti-Conservapedia group share the common experience of Conservapedia, which combines with other factors to create a sort of bond (easily observable on talk:WIGO). This includes some of the founding members of RationalWiki and many users who later crossed over or fled from Conservapedia.
