the pseudo intellectual crowd of men who fancy themselves classic scholars say she is not a valid academic because they don’t like the way she speaks, because she is not hot enough for their fetishizes, because her work doesn’t cater to their male fantasies. this website is hell.

oh to see a woman in academia get popular enough to be known outside of scholarly circles and how the (mostly male) masses scrutinize her through the most misogynistic and ridiculous lenses (this is about emily wilson)

@saintarthurs Hadestown content on the timeline and I SMACK THAT LIKE

@AdaptiveOrgan @thefablemans it’s not entirely a negative thing too, it’s just a matter of a recent dependency on it as a defining feature of media quality… the idea that something is only good if it shocks and surprises you because you got used to popular franchises reusing the same formula for stories.

@AdaptiveOrgan @thefablemans this is such a sharp way of putting it — it’s precisely a matter of bonding and a social activity. it’s probably why it became a popular habit so quickly in almost two decades.

as a society, a lot of our current enjoyment of things is heavily influenced and dependent on big plot twists. shock value is not the same as quality [belated tweet inspired by a conversation at a bar]

marina is so intelligent and eloquent i wish i had her mind

someone physically restrain me so i don’t get raigebaited on this dark hole of a website (again)

@AdaptiveOrgan a friend of mine thinks the mcu has some influence on it @thefablemans

@saintarthurs Did you come up with any ideas as to why we currently find enjoyment in big plot twists?

chiss ascendancy average uniform yeah

@vdysseys i also like epic but this fandom is just so annoying

@saintarthurs the amount of tik toks i've seen about that 'i'm just a man' chord progression, i am TIRED

epic the musical fans forcing me to defend the popularity of nolan’s odyssey

@vdysseys they’re not serious people

@saintarthurs i've seen some of them complaining that polites wasn't mentioned..... like.... do they know hes barely mentioned in the poem........ like i like epic, but my god are the fans ANNOYING

@thefablemans don’t piss me off

accidentally tricked people into thinking i am smart so they want to have discussions with me when i am in reality not very bright at all

@localmusicslut i used to think so sort of and then i watched interstellar.

whenever someone says nolan doesn’t have emotional depth in his movies that’s when I know they talking out they ass
