Vigilante disparaging humour at r/IncelTears: Humour as critique of incel ideology
This paper gives a comprehensive account of a humorous practice on the IncelTears subreddit, whose aim is to poke fun at, and give a social commentary…
A polish science article titled "Vigilante disparaging humour at r/IncelTears: Humour as critique of incel ideology"
The author, she says the point is to analyze the subreddit who "give a social commentary on, the notorious online community of incels (hateful involuntary celibate men)"
But that already answers that the subreddit is good and that incels are bad as an assumption, before the article even attempts to prove that
So the point of the article is circular, it is 43 paragraphs all summing to no end point or new conclusion founded from logic, just sharing photos of unfunny reddit humor in an academic setting then writing a lot about how humor is used.
And yet this is a "scientific" article that can be cited?
This part idk if its true, but she is likely a user aswell, making the entire article biased if that is true.
(I did go back and read it more carefully, while it's possible she is lying i don't think thats true, she said at the bottom that someone showed her the subreddit, so she could still be biased but when she was first making the article she wasn't a user of the subreddit)
It is academics using institutional language (language and communications science) to validate their own points without using the "science" they claim to abide by, its fraudulent research papers as a study to self-justify themselves as moral. It is not scientific in the way of calculating and predicting the orbit of the Moon. Instead, it is to exist only to justify itself.
Science, or at least the research institutions that govern all research inside of it, what is to be taken seriously and what isn't, are biased and release stuff that favor themselves, if this passed imagine what else got passed and is now cited and used in other studies.
