I know, I have also done a dissertation for a degree. But for a youtube film criticism channel to use references at all is quite nice in my opinion. And at any rate it's quite presumptuous of you to assume she has never read any of the books she cites.
Give me ONE good reason why you hate her
she's more enjoyable than the nostalgia critic crew that's for sure
Shut the fuck up. Just accept the answer you got, you're not convincing anyone to watch your videos, LINDSEY YOU FUCKING WHITE TRASH HILLBILLY WINO
>Gas dese goddamn faggots to death
Is she, dare I say, Based?
When people throw out a reference and does not make use of it in any way then they are not proving that they are well read, only that they want to be seen as well read.
Confirm, the basic leve for plebs with degrees is just to mimic the tricks of the profession; it's performative, if you will: you become an academic, because you act like one (then again, most of life is a LARP, etc)
its not that its just performative, its that even at its highest levels, any academic study in literature or "Fine Arts" is hollow bougie bullshit for middle class midwits like Lindsay, who has what, a bachelor's in Disney Princesses?
Its a joke, but I will grant you she was savvy enough to know how to peddle childhood nostalgia to mediocre femcels as some kind of political statement and make a modest living.
I don't remember the boys in Lord Of The Flies working at General Electric or even knowing what ventilators are. Is this political guy lying? Does the media know?
Generational stories, Literature, Paintings, Film. The 'Art' that doesn't die is important because despite the gulfs in societal influences there's something about it that speaks to the human condition.
Honestly if you aren't at all concerned with understanding why people act like people that's fine, but midwits with lit degrees have been very important people in behavior studies, and until NeuroBio makes any fuckin sense it's the best we got
Eh, the important legacy stuff should, and is, handled by anthropologists and historians. The best argument for academic art studies is to create a canon, but that's actively being subverted by the usual subversives so they don't even provide that anymore. Its all a joke, anyone with a Fine Arts degree is just telling you they paid 100 grand to pretend to read James Joyce for four years while partying at sleepaway camp.
