I mean...I could be overestimating the kids, but I think most people are aware it's not realistic. It's entirely possible to have the fantasy and have a more rational expectation at the same time.

Having worked in academia, you are overestimating the kids.

I think most people are aware that it's not the reality, and certainly anyone over the age of 18.

I think often the dark-academia aesthetic and all the associated cultural things are still an aesthetic and a vibe that people want to pursue even knowing that it's not actually what academia is like. A lot of people just like that style on its own merits. A lot of people.

There are probably some people who believe that somewhere, in some little part of the world, is some part of academia where things are actually like that. But that's not about realism; that's just about the wish to believe that the world, even one little corner of it, really works the way that you know in your heart that it ought to work. That somewhere, the stories are true and that if you just found that one perfect place, life could really be that way. It's the Fiddler's Green urge.

Realism is only one possible style of fiction, not the only or most important goal.
