I know the genie is out of the bottle and you can't go back but dear GOD I hate the mainstreamification of fandom so much

I do NOT want authors or showrunners or actors to acknowledge us or talk about fanfic or fanart or fan theories! I do NOT want people asking questions of the canon creators and getting them answered (make up your own answers, like god intended!) I do NOT want companies making jokey advertisements aimed toward fandom!

I know that fandom was never entirely underground but like... I miss that fourth wall existing, you know?

actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

This is one of your tricks again.

The sick reality is that many of the renowned academics and writers among Gaza's thousands of martyrs will, in twenty years time, be quoted and memorialised by the same universities and institutions that have denigrated them and enabled their slaughter.

“Franny is cool enough to order a sandwich and a glass of milk in a fancy restaurant, yet so wildly enthusiastic she doesn’t bother with bourgeois things like spelling. She carries a gold swizzle stick around in her bag because it’s a birthday gift from a corny boy and she doesn’t have the heart to throw it out. She buys a really darling little iron because it looks like it goes with a doll house. For a while I thought Franny was cute and precocious and unknowable. Now I think that, like Salinger after the war, she knows too much, she’s seen too much, she’s understood things that other people deny or ignore. So of course she wants to flee the world. She knows she can never be complacent again, she can never fit in.”
