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."

"12 respondents (24%) indicated their gender as being related to a helicopter or aircraft" ranging from an "Apache Attack Helicopter" to a "V22 osprey." In the section declaring one’s disabilities, responses ranged from claiming to be "illiterate" to lamenting "My country is run by communists," or even declaring that identifying as transgender is a disability in itself due to "the inability to come to terms with biological reality."

One respondent claimed to identify as a gift card as their gender. Under racial and ethnic identities they said, "I’m an ethnic gift card," and for disability the answer was "I don’t have enough gift cards."

Святотатство и богохульство

Other responses to questions about identity rejected the researchers’ project entirely, with answers such as "My skin color is not important," "Come on man, these questions are stupid.

The research team declared that the mockery they received "had a profound impact on morale and mental health," particularly for one transgender researcher who was "already in therapy for anxiety and depression regarding online anti-trans rhetoric." The paper claimed that "managing the study’s data collection caused significant personal distress, and time had to be taken off the project to heal from traumatic harm" of having to read students' responses in the survey.

The scholars concluded the "malicious responses" indicate that fascism has become a common ideology in engineering and computer science academia.

The researchers claimed their research methods used "antifascist and trans/queer methodologies to transform the raw data" and "make effective interventions and transformations to our programs and institutions." They described "Anti-fascism" in particular as a framework that connects "contemporary fascist movements to the foundation of the U.S. as a racial project," noting elsewhere that "White supremacy" remains ubiquitous in the U.S.

Каждому техническому ВУЗу кафедру марксистко-ленинской философии

Saying the solution for the rise of fascism is to change education itself, the team wrote, "The university at its most ideal can be envisioned as ‘a central site for revolutionary struggle, a site where we can work to educate for critical consciousness’ using ‘a pedagogy of liberation.'"

Куда же без солидарности со свободолюбивым народом Палестины

Engineering in particular, they argued, is a critical field to teach their far-left ideology because such graduates "frequently work in fields such as fossil fuels, defense, construction, and technology upon graduation, and could be taught about these field’s relationships with national and global racial capitalism and ongoing apartheid in Palestine, as an example."
