It makes sense for SJWs to associate NRs with rationalists. It supports the homogeneity-of-outgroup narrative about evil white nerdy males.

Later, this article will probably be used as a “reliable source” by Wikipedia. Explanations that LW didn’t actually “urge its members to think like machines and strip away concern for other people’s feelings” will be dismissed as “original research”, and people who made such arguments will be banned. Less Wrong will be officially known as a website promoting white supremacism, Roko’s Basilisk, and removing female characters from computer games. This Wikipedia article will be quoted by all journals, and your families will be horrified by what kind of a monster you have become. All LW members will be fired from their jobs.
