The specific psychological injury inflicted by aggressive, dehumanizing, or abusive campaigns conducted in the name of combating pseudoscience. Victims are often individuals whose identity, community, or health practices (e.g., alternative medicine adherents, spiritual practitioners) are labeled "pseudoscientific" and then targeted with relentless harassment, public shaming, doxxing, and accusations of stupidity or evil. The trauma stems from the totalizing, absolutist aggression of the attackers, who often operate with a crusader mentality that justifies any means to discredit the perceived enemy of "Science."
