<p>Conservative comedian and commentator Steven Crowder thought he&#8217;d try to expose the utter absurdity of modern academia &#8212; and it only took him a few months to do it.</p>
<p>Crowder said he&#8217;s now a peer-reviewed &#8220;expert&#8221; in the field of &#8220;Fat Studies&#8221; and had his ridiculous academic paper, titled, &#8220;Embracing Fatness as Self-Care in the Era of Trump,&#8221; accepted.</p>
<p>The conservative first pulled off the prank in 2020 but posted the video to his YouTube page on Monday. It&#8217;s since garnered nearly 1 million views.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how The Blaze <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/shows/louder-with-crowder/outrageous-undercover-operation-infiltrates-fat-studies-conference?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1">detailed</a> Crowder&#8217;s infiltration at Massey University in New Zealand:</p>
</div>
<blockquote><p><em>Crowder went under cover as Sea Matheson, a fat pride activist, who submitted &#8220;her&#8221; very own fat studies paper for a presentation titled &#8220;Embracing Fatness as Self-Care in the Era of Trump.&#8221; Due to COVID, the in-person conference was canceled, but luckily, there was still a virtual conference.</em></p>
<p><em>Crowder&#8217;s abstract was accepted by the chairwoman Cat Paus, a self-described fat study scholar who scheduled Matheson to speak alongside other intellectual titans.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>During his presentation, which can be viewed below, Crowder stays in character as &#8220;Sea Matheson&#8221; while explaining how Matheson first started understanding the idea that &#8220;fatness can be self-care.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also scolded then-President Donald Trump for ridiculing North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un as &#8220;short and fat.&#8221; And then-presidential candidate Joe Biden was ripped for challenging a man to a push-up competition as the Democrat campaigned.</p>
<p>&#8220;Because of our current leader&#8217;s bigotry: fatness I will argue, acts as a distancing mechanism from the president, as well as his supporters, producing both physical and ideological space that can insulate the individual from intolerant, bigoted, or violent ideology,'&#8221; Crowder <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10647851/Steven-Crowder-poses-activist-presents-paper-Fatness-self-care-era-Trump.html">said</a> in the video.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s widely acknowledged of course that the 2016 election of President Donald Trump was evident of America&#8217;s &#8212; some would argue &#8212; underlying racist, xenophobic, homophobic and transphobic attitudes,&#8221; the character continues. &#8220;I would argue that it was always there, not so underlying. It just took 2016 for more people to realize it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Crowder said he was praised for the ridiculous presentation.</p>
<p>&#8220;You did a great job presenting Trump&#8217;s fatphobia, and how fatphobia has been promoted by both his supporters and his detractors,&#8221; one person commented, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10647851/Steven-Crowder-poses-activist-presents-paper-Fatness-self-care-era-Trump.html">according</a> to The Daily Mail. Another said, &#8220;Embracing fatness is an act of resistance and can be part of how we fight against rape culture.&#8221;</p>
<div dir="ltr">
<p>&#8220;If this doesn’t show you the terrifying nature of the scam that is higher education, then nothing will,&#8221; Crowder told The Daily Wire of the troll.</p>
