let me bless your dash with this straight out of ghibli studios capybara chilling video
on the one hand there are many aspects of academia that should be criticized but on the other hand i’m concerned about the rise of anti-intellectualism as a tool of fascism
Hey yo what the fuck does this say in English? Because if you can’t explain in layman’s terms you’re not doing a good job of getting your point across to everyone.
1. we are right to criticize the many problems in higher education
2. fascists manipulate people into hating anyone involved in higher education for supposedly looking down on them and being worthless to the “real world.” as a result, funding for education is cut, especially for the arts, no one listens to historians who point out that history is repeating itself or speak out against the regime, freedom of speech is lost in favor of the party line, and/or climate change kills us all since no one listens to scientists.
3. therefore, when we criticize higher education, we should be careful not to contribute to fascist tropes that claim that having knowledge is bad/smug/out of touch/useless to society.
The aggressive “the fuck does that mean”? comment really kinda cements home the point…
Early video game designer: Okay, we’re just about done with this level
Video game designer’s manager: Great! Did you figure out what to put at the end?
designer: Yeah, we put this tough, nasty, mean, ugly monster that the player has to beat. We made sure killing the monster feels as rewarding as possible.
manager: Cool! So what’s it called?
designer: The boss.
manager:
manager: why’s it called that
John Romero: lol what if we just put my fuckin head on a pike in the ultimate evil demon since almost everyone wants to see my head on a pike on this team
Actually, the Romero head was made and put in the team without his knowledge. He discovered it and loved it so much, he did the backward recording that plays at the beginning of the Icon Of Sin level without the TEAM knowing, so they thought they were going to pull a trick on him and he double tricked them right back
and THAT is why John Romero was one of the greatest game designers of all!
what im here for:
little girls being allowed to cut their hair short and wear comfortable clothes so they can roll around and play. little girls never being asked about their theoretical “boyfriends” and not having the idea of having a boyfriend thrust on them. little girls having crushes on their best friend whos a girl and being able to be open about it. little girls being allowed to be themselves and be comfortable and be little kids.
