Simon Says?
Remember playing "Simon Says"? Wasn't it fun trying to get other kids to do silly things like "jumping jacks" and wiggle their ears so they don't get caught missing any instructions officially coming from whoever is "Simon" for the moment.
Science can become like that, too. Scientists can become very selfish and demand that everyone who doesn't submit to their rules be banished from the "game". When scientists begin to abuse their position of power and prestige within the "community of scientists", the become "pseudoscientists".
Pseudoscience is a designation for anything pretending to be scientific, or perhaps representing the scientific establishment, but in fact intended to make a political or social statement without having any empirical or logical substance behind it.
That being the case, nothing may be labeled "pseudoscience" unless there is "absolutely no" logical or empirical substance presented to back it up. Such as "straw man" attacks which attempt to discredit legitimate science by presenting lengthly essays attempting to expose their "political incorrectness" or supposed "religious bias".
