Edit: this is an attempt to paraphrase the article's reasoning for moving from stereotypes to their researcher as a subject. Because people will shut down interesting research which doesn't conform to the stated position of the social justice movement. This happens even if the research is high-quality and relatively unbiased. The research on stereotyping is a good example because the research doesn't attempt to cast stereotypes in a bad light, therefore it must be bad research.

That's exactly his point, and honestly, I agree with it. An addition that I would make is a large point that he made by mentioning the paper with the faulty statistical data-- there are a lot of research papers being published that are conforming to the social justice movement, but aren't well backed, yet still accepted because of their motivation. The field is being diluted by this bad research that's trying to "change the world," instead of searching for objective truth.
