I joined ravelry shortly after it started and spent plenty of money buying patterns and products from their marketplace. A little over a year ago I logged on to the site to look at patterns and saw their “news” that called anyone who supports the President of the United States a racist! I immediately sent a personal message to the man (who is now a woman) that they were making a mistake to allow politics to enter into their business and begged him to have a no politics rule rather than a no conservatives rule! (It’s specifically supposed to be a yarn crafting site!) I got zilch for a response from him. That same week, on Instagram I saw lots of talk about the social just warriors on ravelry and how they had gotten a designer kicked off that had created a pattern for a “MAGA” hat! (What happened to free speech?) So I went back to ravelry to look for some patterns and noticed that the MAGA hat pattern was gone but I could buy any number of anti-Trump patterns such as a “F... Trump” hat and a Trump voodoo doll! (You guessed it; free speech was meant only for liberals.) It is disgusting that they only allow negativity about the President. Things on ravelry had been going downhill for a few years so I hadn’t been to the site for awhile but that was the final straw! I have since taken my patterns and left. I wouldn’t recommend the ravelry site to anyone, unless you’re willing to have their agenda crammed down your throat!
