Boghossianism-Lindsayism-Pluckroseism
A version of Sokalism emerging from the Grievance Studies Affair, where the hoax is treated not as a critique of peer review but as definitive proof that entire fields are intellectually bankrupt. Boghossianism-Lindsayism-Pluckroseism is the ideology that because hoax papers were accepted, the fields they targeted (gender studies, queer theory, etc.) are illegitimate; because some scholarship is bad, all scholarship in those areas is worthless. It's Sokalism systematized, turned into a worldview that justifies dismissing vast areas of inquiry without engagement. Followers of this ideology don't need to read feminist theory; they just need to know about the hoax.
Example: "He'd built his entire critique of gender studies on the grievance studies hoax. Boghossianism-Lindsayism-Pluckroseism meant he never had to read actual feminist theory; the hoax told him everything he needed to know. He could dismiss an entire field based on a handful of fake papers—and feel intellectually superior doing it."
