Forums - General - A Study on Dog Rape Culture

StarDoor on 13 October 2018

When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately knew which study it would be talking about, and I started laughing just imagining what the people of VGChartz would say about it. What I didn't expect, however, is that the OP would treat it as a legitimate piece of research.

For the uninitiated: This paper is a hoax. It was written by a group of three people in order to expose the lack of academic integrity in a variety of sociological fields commonly referred to as "identity studies". In fact, this paper is only one of twenty written by the trio over the course of ten months.

Notable examples of their other papers include:
-Celebrating morbid obesity as a healthy life choice
-Arguing that white men should be chained to the floor during college lectures as a form of reparations
-Rewriting a chapter from Hitler's Mein Kampf to promote feminism rather than Nazism

Their main mode of operation was to take the views expressed in similar peer-reviewed and published papers and then dial up their intensity to see what they could get away with. In total, 7 of their papers had been accepted for publication when they ended the experiment, and another 7 were still in the process of being peer-reviewed.

I'm going to assume you are not exactly into research:

Other than the zero citations, this paper was retracted.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0966369X.2018.1513216


"We, the Editors and Publishers of Gender, Place & Culture, have retracted the following article:

Helen Wilson, “Human reactions to rape culture and queer performativity at urban dog parks in Portland, Oregon”, Gender, Place & Culture, DOI:10.1080/0966369X.2018.1475346, published online on May 22nd, 2018.

This is due to a breach of the following Publishing Agreement clause, signed by the author during the publication process:

“You warrant that: i. All persons who have a reasonable claim to authorship are named in the article as co-authors including yourself, and you have not fabricated or misappropriated anyone’s identity, including your own.”

Following an investigation into this paper, triggered by the Publisher and Editor shortly after publication, we have undertaken a number of checks to confirm the author’s identity. These checks have shown this to be a hoax paper, submitted under false pretences, and as such we are retracting it from the scholarly record."

ok ok, you're right i've looked into this a little more and apparently the article was accepted and published online in february, but only recently taken down after the author revealed it to be hoax

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/dog-parks-are-petri-dishes-for-canine-rape-culture-and-more-of-the-ridiculous-studies-a-team-of-hoaxsters-got-published-in-academic-journals

 

"Dog parks are petri dishes for canine rape culture,’ and more ridiculous studies hoaxsters got published in academic journals

The three academics had a very serious mission in all this: To expose what they call the 'identitarian madness coming out of the academic and activist left"

 

but regardless i don't think that necessarily invalidates the points made about the parallels between dog behavior and human behavior

we do for example with dogs tend to force hetero-normative attitudes onto them

So I'm going to ask you once again. What is your purpose with this thread?
