While Ravelry is a great resource for patterns and information concerning knitting and crocheting, the owners have allowed multiple cases of bullying to go on within the site and have not done anything to stop it. If you are Liberal, then you will find it welcoming. If you are Conservative, you will not. While hiding behind a statement of inclusiveness, the owners have allowed their cult-like followers to bully and harass the more conservative people. Even going so far as to take down forums and block any USA related icons. In one such instance, they removed a hat pattern that said "God Is Love" on it and branded it as hate speech.

They recently released a statement that support for President Trump and his administration would not be welcome as they felt that it was support for white supremacy. While they did not say that anyone who supported is a white supremacist, their followers decided that's what it meant and the owners of the site have yet to correct that.
