An academic or a scholar that still maintains their ability to think critically and form informed opinions on topics within their field without the indulgence of “the company line “ or narrative that is in the mainstream. Note: these opinions are still fact based.
I heard that my professor was a misguided academic because she has first hand expertise unlike Bob on Twitter.
A rhetorical stance where someone claims to be “objective” while systematically dismissing, trivializing, or attacking one side of a conflict. Misguided objectivity mistakes neutrality for truth: it assumes that the most “balanced” position is to treat both sides equally, regardless of evidence or power dynamics. In online conflicts, it often looks like a moderator or bystander saying “I’m sure both sides have faults” when one side has been gangharassed for weeks. The stance serves to legitimize abuse by refusing to name it.
Misguided “Objectivity” Example: “When she asked for help with the mob targeting her, the mod said ‘I’m staying objective—I’m sure there’s fault on both sides.’ Misguided objectivity: using neutrality to excuse abuse.”
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.
Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
