The researchers, from Oregon State University, were conducting a study on undergraduate LGBT \u200cstudents\u2062 in STEM fields.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the 349 total survey\u2063 responses, approximately 15%\u200c (50 responses) were deemed &#8220;malicious&#8221; by the researchers. These responses contained slurs, hate \u2064speech, and direct targeting of the research team.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>One respondent identified their gender \u200cas &#8220;aerosol,&#8221; their race \u200cas \u200b&#8221;Afro\/Klingon-Asiatic Galapogayation,&#8221; and their disability as &#8220;being 2.86% \u200dwhite.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another respondent identified their gender as \u2062&#8221;airplane,&#8221; their\u2062 race as &#8220;Native American (Elizabeth \u2062Warren),&#8221; and \u200dtheir disability as &#8220;transgenderism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet another respondent identified their gender as\u200b &#8220;f***ing white male,&#8221; \u2063their race as &#8220;Swedish Muslim,&#8221; and their \u200bdisability as &#8220;my country is run by communists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One respondent humorously identified their\u2062 gender as &#8220;pansexual attack helicopter,&#8221; \u2063their race as &#8220;kangz,&#8221; \u200cand their disability as &#8220;intracranial \u2064lead deficiency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The\u200d researchers offered a $5 Amazon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-nevada-a-corrupt-cash-for-votes-scheme-is-hiding-in-plain-sight\/\" title=\"In Nevada, A Corrupt Cash-For-Votes Scheme Is Hiding In Plain Sight\">gift card<\/a> as compensation for participating in the survey, which\u200c led one student to \u2063identify as a &#8220;gift card&#8221; and claim that their disability was not having enough gift cards.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers decided to analyze these mocking responses within the context of engineering culture and its connection to online fascism. They\u2064 published a paper titled &#8220;Attack Helicopters and White Supremacy: Interpreting Malicious Responses to\u2063 an Online Questionnaire about Transgender Undergraduate Engineering and Computer Science Student Experiences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In their paper, the researchers highlighted the presence of online memes associated with white nationalist and fascist movements,\u2063 as well as references to gaming and &#8220;nerd&#8221; culture.
