Your Definition
A form of harm inflicted under the banner of “debunking” myths, pseudoscience, or misinformation, where the debunker uses ridicule, shaming, and personal attacks rather than genuine education. Debunking violence often targets individuals who hold fringe beliefs, but it can also target legitimate alternative practices or cultural traditions. The violence lies in the intent to humiliate and destroy rather than to inform. It treats believers as enemies to be crushed, not as confused people to be helped.
