You are correct about what EA references. There was corruption in the EA community (e.g. Sam Bankman) and some extremist factions as well. It was fashionable for a bit to point to the worst sections and dismiss the whole movement which largely has centered on being financially efficient in improving the world. For example, supporting malaria nets, direct cash transfers, and other basically not wasteful altruism.
