In the below-linked article (published on April 26, 2022, over 3 months before it was discovered by regressive feminists on social media), Andersson used masturbation as an ethnographic technique, gaining insights into boy-directed desires in Japanese culture:

			<blockquote>'''Abstract:''' ''I wanted to understand how my research participants experience sexual pleasure when reading shota, a Japanese genre of self-published erotic comics that features young boy characters. I therefore started reading the comics in the same way as my research participants had told me that they did it: while masturbating. In this research note, I will recount how I set up an experimental method of masturbating to shota comics, and how this participant observation of my own desire not only gave me a more embodied understanding of the topic for my research but also made me think about loneliness and ways to combat it as driving forces of the culture of self-published erotic comics.''<br><br>'''From [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/I_am_not_alone_%28Andersson_paper%29.pdf ''I am not alone – we are all alone: Using masturbation as an ethnographic method in research on shota subculture in Japan'']'''</blockquote>

			After [[Alice Sullivan]], a radical (i.e. conservative) [[Feminism\|feminist]] professor from University College London tweeted her disgust at the paper on 8 Aug, 2022, a social media firestorm ensued, later rousing the ire of the Rt.
