Maybe individual members are okay but the "batshit insane" parts tend to come mostly from stuff the corporation does as a whole. The advertising/publicity campaigns and a lot of its policies are seriously just...wrong. If you want to help animals nowadays go for the humane society or something along those lines. PETA is pretty extreme.
I think the only effective thing they do is get people talking and paying attention to animal rights causes simply because people want to talk about the latest controversy PETA brings up.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
