A group of college students has apparently had just about enough when it comes to the relentless progressive pursuit of woke nonsense:
Researchers at Oregon State sent out a survey re: LGBTQ, but students in STEM didn't take it seriously. Fortunately, the researchers were able to suss out the cause: fascism. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Read the whole article. It just keeps getting better and better. https://t.co/X6znPtuRV0
From Fox News:
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."
We do recommend reading the whole article, because it really does keep getting better and better.
We're almost having a hard time believing this is real, because if we're understanding correctly, the researchers were so distraught by the tongue-in-cheek responses that they changed the whole focus of the study.

Ya gotta love engineering and comp-sci majors.

Gee, a bunch of folks that focus on science and logic think feelings overriding reality is a joke. Who would have guessed?!

Maybe, just maybe, people are getting a little bit tired of being constantly pushed to label and define themselves by ever-shrinking categories.
That 24% that have resisted the brainwashing give me hope.
