<p>Academic researchers reacted with horror when college students submitted irreverent responses to the researchers&#8217; LGBT survey.</p>
<p>Academics from Oregon State University wrote they were shocked to receive sarcastic and offensive responses to a survey as part of their research into undergraduate LGBT students in STEM fields.</p>
<p>Out of 349 total survey <a href="https://bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org/article/2/1-2/4/">responses</a>, 50 — or about 15% — were from &#8220;malicious respondents&#8221; and contained &#8220;slurs, hate speech, or direct targeting of the research team,&#8221; the researchers said.</p>
<p>One &#8220;malicious&#8221; responder said his gender was &#8220;aerosol,&#8221; his race was &#8220;Afro/Klingon-Asiatic Galapogayation,&#8221; and his disability was &#8220;being 2.86% white.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another said his gender was &#8220;airplane,&#8221; his race was &#8220;Native American (Elizabeth Warren),&#8221; and his disability was &#8220;transgenderism.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yet another survey respondent entered his gender as &#8220;f***ing white male,&#8221; his race as &#8220;Swedish Muslim,&#8221; and his disability as &#8220;my country is run by communists.&#8221;</p>
<p>One respondent put his gender as &#8220;pansexual attack helicopter,&#8221; his race as &#8220;kangz,&#8221; and his disability as &#8220;intracranial lead deficiency.&#8221;</p>
<p>The survey informed students that they could receive a $5 Amazon gift card as compensation for participating in the survey.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1690029339199000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1aBZKXZOsvkW3aRCKp8ThD">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;I identify as a gift card,&#8221; wrote one student, adding &#8220;I’m an ethnic gift card,&#8221; and putting as a disability, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have enough gift cards.&#8221;</p>
<p>The researchers decided to examine how the mocking responses &#8220;relate to engineering culture by framing them within larger social contexts — namely, the rise of online fascism.&#8221;</p>
<p>They ended up writing a <a href="https://bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org/article/2/1-2/4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paper</a> titled &#8220;Attack Helicopters and White Supremacy: Interpreting Malicious Responses to an Online Questionnaire about Transgender Undergraduate Engineering and Computer Science Student Experiences.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The targeting of social justice research and marginalized academics fits into theories of fascism as a pathway the right-wing can use to exert power, one act within a larger effort,&#8221; the researchers wrote in the paper, which was published in the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies.</p>
<p>&#8220;Online memes associated with white nationalist and fascist movements were present throughout the data, alongside memes and content referencing gaming and &#8216;nerd&#8217; culture,&#8221; the researchers said. The academics called for &#8220;empowering &#8216;counterspeech&#8217; to confront hate and reclaim agency.&#8221;</p>
<p>The analysis found that 12 students said their gender was related to some kind of helicopter or aircraft, from an F-16 fighter jet to a V22 Osprey. Fifteen of the 30 students who put down a disability referred to transgender identities as a disability.</p>
<p>Some students also called out the researchers themselves in the survey&#8217;s &#8220;comments&#8221; section.</p>
<p>&#8220;Please do some research on something that will actually benefit the human race,&#8221; one respondent wrote.</p>
<p>&#8220;How on earth did this study get funding???&#8221; wrote another.</p>
<p>&#8220;Stop trying to push gender and convince people that they are more important or discriminated against because [of] how they identify. Let people choose their own path and don’t force them into fields because you think a group isn’t represented enough,&#8221; read an email to the research team about the project.</p>
<p>The researchers noted that &#8220;reading the data participant by participant, the malicious responses were often immediately and viscerally identifiable.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of the graduate student researchers, a trans-identifying man, said reading the students&#8217; tongue-in-cheek responses caused him &#8220;significant personal distress,&#8221; and he had to take time off the project to &#8220;heal from traumatic harm.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;malicious&#8221; responses directed at the research team had a &#8220;profound impact on morale&#8221; as well, the team said.</p>
