I think it’s only fair to expect critics of EvoPsych to be more involved in publicly combating the nonsense accusations some of the critics make.
Are you aware of the prehistory with Rebecca Watson?
In case you aren’t Rebecca gave a speech at Skepticon crticizing EvoPsych as being pseudoscience because of bad thoughts being spread online under the banner of EvoPsych (Carrier links to her speech at the beginning). It became clear that Rebecca didn’t look into the actual science of EvoPsych.
Some people suggested that Rebecca is was playing out the typical anti-science handbook of not engaging with the claims of scientists when critizing a science but engaging stupid claims from people on the internet. Obviously holding an anti-science speech at a Skeptic converence is controversial.
