This comment makes me sad, I’m sorry you got brigaded and I’m sorry you have had such bad experiences with this topic. It is a truly difficult and painful area to read about.
But absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Even if you are right on every point and all of this was made up by a bunch of evil racists, it should be very easy to prove them wrong, just by eg. doing any of these studies carefully.
Otoh, if this material reflects something true about the world, it has significant implications and needs to be faced with an open heart at some point.
