Theodore Hill (the paper's author) wrote about his side on https://quillette.com/2018/09/07/academic-activists-send-a-p...

Somewhere in the middle he linked to the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.04184.pdf

From there you can get to its abstract page that also carries the versions: https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.04184

Thank you!

So I went through more than half of abstract versions and the article itself, struggle to find anything scandalous there. I persuade everyone to do the same.

The news is that it's not the paper per se that's scandalous. It's the bypassing of the editorial board -- someone trying to get his buddy's stuff published without going through the usual channels.

Those were the usual channels.
