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."
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...

Even the kids are tired of their insanity.
Fascism all around makes for a breakdown.
The research team should be disbanded at once. These bozos appear to lack basic awareness of statistics. Less than 20 percent of the 349 mocked the questionnaire rather than complete it seriously. Add that fact to your findings and move on, or just quit the business you are unsuited for.
Only 1 7th of them responded in such fashion. That’s rather disappointing.
Escessive government influence over private capital, kind of communism-lite (and you know they’re not against that!)
“...declaring that identifying as transgender is a disability in itself due to “the inability to come to terms with biological reality.”
that guy nailed it.
Just mock them in general… For anything, including breathing and wasting oxygen, that productive normal people can breathe.
The leftards hate ridicule… So that’s what should be sent their way every day, every waking moment.
And if that’s “fascist”… Too ****ing bad.
Good to see some of our young stand up to them.
See, look what you created! Your very own Brownshirts! And all you had to do to avoid that was keep your preferences to yourself... :)
The slide rule is sentimental, but the HP is for use still.
The slide rule is sentimental, but the HP is for use still, nearly every day. And if I didn’t have either, I suppose I could drag out the old CRC Handbook and use the log and trig tables.
Oops. Had an afterthought and didn’t realize I had posted already.
Picket “Eye Saver Yellow”. Model N1010ES?
Also have some Hemmis, K&Es, Dietzgens.
I switch out playing with them.
Add an HP 41CX.

>There’s a whole society out there that has gone lame.
The real problem is we’ve created a white-collar, leftist group that have just enough college education to be nasty and self-entitled. They literally grift on the edge of Starbucks/Tiktok/homelessness without any real skill or self-awareness, and their penchant for pharma as the fix-all makes it worse. Before we had a 80%/20% of blue/white collar, but now we have a 40%/40%/20% with this new breed the middle 40%.
They’re frankly worthless without a blue collar lifestyle, because they’re too dumb to be white collar but just smart enough to grift as a class of entitled whiners.
They got “smalltowned”…
When I was in college, a statistically significant number of us put down Druid as our religion on a demographic survey.
“12 respondents (24%) indicated their gender as being related to a helicopter or aircraft” ranging from an “Apache Attack Helicopter” to a “V22 osprey.”
Gotta love em:)
Good,
Woke ideology is stupid and should be mocked and ridiculed at every opportunity.
