Misguided “Objectivity”
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.”
