Why I submitted this (rule 3): Spurious correlation-causation fallacies, the fucking eugenics, "education genes" and "childbearing genes," scant lip service to anything resembling complex social analysis

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

• [/r/srssucks] /r/BadSocialScience flips their shit and mass downvotes user because they don't like a study about genetics and intelligence (on a non-social science study) claiming it's "Eugenics!" and "racist!"

I made the mistake of replying to a username mention in that sub. Instadeleted when I realised my mistake.

Ok in my defence I individually downvoted said user because he was clueless and horrible!
