      Helen Pluckrose Retweeted London Review of Books

      Well, that's what we've been trying to show and why we've been saying its more of an internal exploration - reflexive ethnography. This stuff blends in perfectly. People can't say we strawman the fields now. No. I'm glad so many people are admitting this is quite standard.https://twitter.com/LRB/status/1052896471262134273 …

      Yes, we wrote proper papers according to the standards of the field. People who say we didn't engage seriously and are just trolling are wrong. We wanted to learn how it works exactly and reflect its madness. We already know people in the field don't think it is mad.pic.twitter.com/BrwPnaGlkw

      We didn't do this to convince the people who are already in the field or sympathetic to it that this kind of stuff is getting published. They already know that and think it's just fine. We needed to convince the leftist academics who think we're exaggerating or nutpicking.

      If you genuinely think that unwanted dog humping among dogs reveals human rape culture & a need to train men like dogs or that sticking things up your bum makes you less transphobic & more feminist, you're not going to be convinced there is any kind of problem going on.

          A hoax which tries to get a journal to accept something it wouldn't normally accept has limited value. It just shows some flaws in the peer-review system. That can happen in any field in various different ways. This matters a lot but is not our primary concern here.

          We wanted to show the state of the field and the ideas which are winning by writing completely orthodox papers drawing on existing influential scholarship & show how it lends itself to justifying deeply irrational, entirely unevidenced & illiberal claims. This wasn't a secret:pic.twitter.com/aeMlwGgkRB

          Of course, people already within the field who think it's great won't see any problem with it and, of course, they will argue that we only think it is a problem because of our race, gender & sexuality, an argument we anticipated & argued in depth in the very paper he cites here:pic.twitter.com/qdKsukdWLw

          We won't convince people who think this represents genuine knowledge production that it doesn't. We do hope, however, to convince people who value academic rigor, evidence-based epistemology & consistently liberal ethics that this is the state of the field of grievance studies.

          Do you have any data to back up your claim that pegging doesn't affect attitudes toward trans folks?

          I think the point is more that regardless of whether or not that is true, the methodology used in the paper would never allow us to find out.

          how do we know without empiric data?

          Because it's more of a philosophical criticism than an empirical one. To be clear: I'm referring to the "methodology is useless" part. The dildo question is empirical.

          Except you claimed 1000 hours of observation for the dog rape study, which while not "revealing", is nevertheless exceptionally unique.
