The Grievance Studies hoax was brilliant - kudos to Peter Boghossian, James A. Lindsay, and Helen Pluckrose. As a result of the hoaxes Boghossian was the subject of a research misconduct investigation by his employer, Portland State University (PSU), on the basis that he had violated the ethical guidelines by conducting research on human subjects without approval (namely the. unwitting journal editors who stupidly published the hoax articles). He left PSU shortly afterwards, saying in his resignation letter that the university was a "Social Justice factory", that he faced harassment and retaliation for speaking out, and that the university was creating a culture where students are "afraid to speak openly and honestly", training students to "mimic the moral certainty of ideologues", and "[driving] intolerance of divergent beliefs and opinions".

Included among the articles that were published were arguments that dogs engage in rape culture and that men could reduce their transphobia by anally penetrating themselves with sex toys, as well as Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf rewritten in feminist language.[2][4] The first of these had won special recognition from the journal that published it.

The paper about dogs was titled "Human Reactions to Rape Culture and Queer Performativity at Urban Dog Parks in Portland, Oregon". (Of course it was Portland, Oregon! My woke sister lives nearby...)
