You must hate academia. Don't go anywhere near the Shakespeare fandom, your head will probably explode.

Why hate academia? Just because they are tired of discussion doesn't mean they're stupid or hate thinking.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-05 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...da, but I have no idea how you'd survive academia hating discussion/analysis. That doesn't mean you're stupid, it means academia is focused on an activity you hate.

They didn't say they hate it. They said they are tired of it.

then they would still hate academia, where much of the activity is focused on this thing that they find exhausting.

are you just trying to be obtuse or??

Done trying to talk to you wanker

You do realize that the two of you weren't really disagreeing here, right?

They're saying OP would hate having to do something they don't like, not that they're stupid. You're coming off a bit strong.

"You must hate academia."

Hahaha, I had this same reaction. I have reached a point where I literally can't *not* engage critically with a work, because even if I just want to "mindlessly" fangirl all over something, my brain interrupts with thoughts about narrative structure or connections to other stories or how this plays into broader "universal" narratives or such-and-such stereotypes or or or... Yeah. And then I just want to TALK about them with someone to get them out of my brain!

In short, it's not because I want to sound smart. It's because somewhere, somehow, despite all my resistance, my professors succeeded in hammering constant critical analysis into my brain.

My profs did too, Anon, and I think I hate/love them for it.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-06 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Academia is one thing, but fanboys trying to make them sound smart by aping academia like a chimp dressed for a tea party is quite another. Fandom meta is the latter.
