    Edit: I want to explicitly state that sociology is absolutely a discipline worth funding, but I would like to see a pronounced change in the culture and methodologies.

It wasn't sociologists who fell for it:

    As a number of academics pointed out on Twitter, for example, all of the papers submitted to sociology journals were rejected. For now, it remains unlikely that the American Sociological Review or the American Political Science Review would have fallen for anything resembling “Our Struggle Is My Struggle,” a paper modeled on the infamous book with a similar title.

Well, the most radical corner of sociology, I guess. Not indicative of the whole, you're correct.

turns out if you only pay attention to the silly corners it makes it look silly
