Your Definition
The oppressive enforcement of a specific, narrow ideal of [objectivity] as the only legitimate way to know or speak. Under this tyranny, personal experience, emotion, embodiment, and situated knowledge are dismissed as “biased” or “subjective,” while a supposedly neutral, dispassionate, context‑free stance is treated as the sole arbiter of truth. The tyranny operates through social pressure, institutional gatekeeping, and rhetorical shaming: anyone who speaks from a personal standpoint is accused of lacking [objectivity]. It ignores that all knowledge is situated and that the “objective” stance is itself a particular [perspective], usually that of dominant groups. The result is the silencing of marginalised voices under the guise of epistemic virtue.
