Honestly, that would kind of be funny if there weren't people who probably aren't too far off.
Ultimately, a lot of this stuff came from post-modernism, and this infiltrated the college/university system. Ultimately, there were some academics: James Lindsay (Canada), Peter Boghossian (USA), and Helen Pluckrose (UK), who intentionally submitted flawed papers for peer review in certain humanities-fields. They were able to slip a rather large number through by effectively framing it in a way that appealed to the biases of the peer-reviewers, but should have been something that a reasonable person should have been able to realize was nonsense. While they planned to publish the end-result regardless of the outcome, a journalist stumbled onto the whole matter and it eventually became known as "The Grievance Studies Affair" or "Sokol Squared" (the former is probably better known).
