Researchers "Horrified," Warn of Increasing "Fascism," As Students Send In Mocking Answers to Their Woke Identity Politics Survey

People are getting sick of the 24/7/365 totalitarian propaganda machine.

Academic researchers condemned students' irreverent and offensive responses to an LGBTQ survey, claiming the pushback indicates "fascist ideologues" are "living 'inside the house' of engineering and computer science."

In an article for the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies, academics from Oregon State University wrote about their shock at receiving sarcasm and mockery in response to their research into undergraduate LGBTQ students studying in STEM fields.

The team claimed 50 of 349 responses to their questionnaire on the topic contained "slurs, hate speech, or direct targeting of the research team." Labeling them "malicious respondents," they adapted their project to examine how the joke responses "relate to engineering culture by framing them within larger social contexts -- namely, the rise of online fascism."

The result was the paper titled, "Attack Helicopters and White Supremacy: Interpreting Malicious Responses to an Online Questionnaire about Transgender Undergraduate Engineering and Computer Science Student Experiences."

The paper broke the responses down into themes like demographics, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), gender, "anti-trans, anti-queer," racism, antisemitism and "online hate subculture references." Several answers contained profanity and other offensive and obscene language and many referenced memes.

According to the article, when the "malicious" subjects were asked to fill out demographic data, "12 respondents (24%) indicated their gender as being related to a helicopter or aircraft" ranging from an "Apache Attack Helicopter" to a "V22 osprey." In the section declaring one's disabilities, responses ranged from claiming to be "illiterate" to lamenting "My country is run by communists," or even declaring that identifying as transgender is a disability in itself due to "the inability to come to terms with biological reality."

Three weeks and two days after Pride Month, malicious respondents?!

Three weeks and two days after Pride Month?!?!

Do better, Malicious Respondents. #DoBetter.

Note for the following that very often people are induced to fill out these bullsh*t surveys by being offered a free gift card to a restaurant or Amazon for completing one.

One respondent claimed to identify as a gift card as their gender. Under racial and ethnic identities they said, "I'm an ethnic gift card," and for disability the answer was "I don't have enough gift cards."

Other responses to questions about identity rejected the researchers' project entirely, with answers such as "My skin color is not important," "Come on man, these questions are stupid. Everyone is a grab bag of genetics from all over the world," and "What else do you want to know? What I ate for breakfast. [T]his question is unnecessary."

This is White Nationalism, straight up.

"Online memes associated with white nationalist and fascist movements were present throughout the data, alongside memes and content referencing gaming and 'nerd' culture," the researchers further claimed.

Hey I just said that.

The responses #LiterallyEndangered the "researchers."

The research team declared that the mockery they received "had a profound impact on morale and mental health," particularly for one transgender researcher who was "already in therapy for anxiety and depression regarding online anti-trans rhetoric." The paper claimed that "managing the study's data collection caused significant personal distress, and time had to be taken off the project to heal from traumatic harm" of having to read students' responses in the survey.

That Malicious Respondent who said that transgenderism is a "disability" was all wet, huh?
