STEM Students Troll Woke LGBT Survey — Researchers Blame ‘Rise Of Online Fascism’

Daily Wire Reports: Academic researchers reacted with horror when college students submitted irreverent responses to the researchers’ LGBT survey.

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.

Out of 349 total survey responses , 50 — or about 15% — were from “malicious respondents” and contained “slurs, hate speech, or direct targeting of the research team,” the researchers said.

One “malicious” responder said his gender was “aerosol,” his race was “Afro/Klingon-Asiatic Galapogayation,” and his disability was “being 2.86% white.”

Another said his gender was “airplane,” his race was “Native American (Elizabeth Warren),” and his disability was “transgenderism.”

Yet another survey respondent entered his gender as “f***ing white male,” his race as “Swedish Muslim,” and his disability as “my country is run by communists.”

One respondent put his gender as “pansexual attack helicopter,” his race as “kangz,” and his disability as “intracranial lead deficiency.”

The survey informed students that they could receive a $5 Amazon gift card as compensation for participating in the survey.

“I identify as a gift card,” wrote one student, adding “I’m an ethnic gift card,” and putting as a disability, “I don’t have enough gift cards.”

The researchers decided to examine how the mocking responses “relate to engineering culture by framing them within larger social contexts — namely, the rise of online fascism.”
