Just wow… they put our a survey that was utterly ridiculous and a troon researcher got uber butthurt when he got made fun of. It was all a vomit of wokey lingo that you can’t take seriously.

troon researcher got uber butthurt

IMO a "researcher" with such an intense personal reaction toward the data they've collected has lost all scientific credibility, and from that point on the only thing they should be allowed to research is how to flip burgers.

Totally agreed! Troon has ventured so far up his own asshole that he truly believes his own delusions. Puts out a survey aimed at validating himself. Data comes back and bitch slaps him, refusing to give him dat gender “euphoria.” Throws troon tantrum, and calls everyone names because they don’t see him as a pretty princess he feels entitled to being perceived as. What a time to be alive.

To students. Teens are in the edgy phase ofc some of them are going to mock it. Especially if they're forced to take part lol.

The attack helicopter thing really seems to bug them. I guess they still don't have a good comeback.

The only thing that attack helicopters fear is someone who identifies as a MANPAD.

If something works, why would you change it?

Oh..

Wrong people to make that point to.

And here I thought their comeback was "...well, that's valid too. You are a stunning and brave attack helicopter and you are valid!"

and when a trans author tried to reappropriate the meme to describe their own experience in a sci-fi story, a whispering campaign started against them and the author was so relentlessly bullied they went from a she back to a he!

they're a ruthless pack because they really see themselves as a protective immune system

Isn't transgenders who do the attack helicopter meme? Why would it piss them off?

They get angry because the “I identify as an attack helicopter” meme so perfectly skewers their argument of “you are what you say you are, and no one can disagree”. Comedy and mockery have the ability to punch through nonsense far more powerfully than screaming abuse or even rational argument. Someone screaming slurs in your face is easy to dismiss as a “bigot” and it also serves to impart the victim status and the inherent power of victimhood on you. Someone laughing at you and mocking your position through jokes is far more difficult to deal with, and laughter is infectious. Good jokes, like Ricky Gervais’ jokes about “old fashioned women, the ones with the wombs versus new women” hit hard because they point out the inherent ridiculousness of the trans position. Reductio ad absurdum is a powerful logical argument, and their reaction to it demonstrates that.

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.

This is why they can't be reasoned with.

They take every disagreement as hate or a personal insult. They never stop to think about what people are saying logically or why they are saying it.

My time spent maliciously filling out annoying surveys feels justified now.

Between the utter uselessness of anonymous surveys that have zero controls for, who can answer it, how many times you can answer it, etc, I just assume they can easily fake the results, and they don't like it when other people figure that out and make a mockery of their survey or hijack it to give results they don't find favorable. But the surveys have always been fairly useless for doing anything important unless you just wanted to broadly canvas opinion.

What really grinds me gears is whenever some group tries to hold an electron this way. Had one group I was in hold their presidential election over google surveys with absolutely zero controls on who would vote, voting twice, etc. What a fucking nightmare, got railroaded when I mentioned it was useless and that the results could easily be faked to be anyone they wanted since of course one could just write pyton script that votes for whomever you want and leave it on. Would he funny if a group with a few dozen members had a billion votes cast for the president wouldn't it.

I hope this is a sign that the troon fad is almost over.

"The responses included nerd culture and gaming culture references" well duh you sent them to fucking computer science students you fuckwits, what in the ever loving tityfuck did you expect to get back?

The V22 osprey one? That is gold considering it transitions in use from rotary to fixed wing configurations in use.

I also liked the gift card one.

They are used to interacting inside echo chambers where everyone agrees with them, but the moment they step out of those spaces they get all pikachu-shocked that almost no one agrees with them, or the general public’s opinion is far more nuanced than their’s. It’s why they pull the old Motte and Bailey shit, say they want one thing but actually work towards something more extreme. They’re just applying the plays from the social justice playbook developed by the race grifters and feminists.

[–]wylanderuk 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Well yes this I know...But being surprised with a load of nerd and gamer response from comp/sci students is a whole other lvl of fucking stupid.

[–]filbs111 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

If I can't identify as an attack helicopter, exactly what kind of helicopter am I supposed to identify as?

Try an autogyro.

I identify as an attack helicopter, but secretly I'm an autogyrophiliac.

promptly followed by "swastikas, Black Suns, and Wolfsangeln aren't fascist, they're Hindu good luck charms if they're blue-and-yellow: also if someone makes the OK sign, kill him immediately"

It sucks when you live in a tiny bubble of enforced intellectual conformity and then you find out what people really think when you can't punish them for it.

[–]GraviHeel Hortler 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

A guy identifying as a gal or vice versa is as silly as identifying as an attack helicopter, I don't see why one'd be outraged.

So calling bullshit is now fascism? Count me in.

Mockery is THE most effective weapon against these people. They act all big and bad but fold like a cheap suit the second they get made fun of.

The result was the paper titled, "Attack Helicopters and White Supremacy

And yo know some part of the outrageous cost of college right now is associated with paying for these departments to exist.

I wonder about that. I would think a lot of the gender, CRT and other neo-Marxist postmodern stuff is funded by billionaires and NGOs (eg. Arcus, Pritzkers, Soros, etc.) It's possible those grants help subsidize the rest of the university, I'm not sure how it adds up. Maybe on the whole it makes everything more expensive.

I'm not sure how it adds up. Maybe on the whole it makes everything more expensive.

That's my point, that it adds up. When I was at a university LGBT center i found out that they had too much money and the director comes in and starts asking the students to make lists of stuff to buy. They wanted a bunch of art and things to put up in the center in order to spend all the money allocated to the department. I asked why they were trying to waste money. The response I got was that they needed to spend the entire budget or the university would not agree to yearly increases and might even reduce the budget next year. I said "i guess this is why my tuition keeps going up." One of the many reasons they didn't like me in there.

What was happening was this administration group was trying to increase spending year to year to prove the importance of the LGBT center and eventually after I was gone they convinced the school to build a stand alone building just for that purpose. It's the same circular logic that all the big organizations use. Demand high salary, claim high salary is proof of importance, make up a bunch of issues that need money to fight against, claim the job is existential and makes your job difficult, repeat.

I work in a big company and our spending works totally different. They give us a budget which is usually too small then at the end of the year they suddenly announce that there is X dollars left over in the budget somehow.

but surely mandatory participation in elections IRL would result in serious outcomes and nothing like electing Ronald Duck for president, right guise?
