    conservative anti-intellectualism is laughably stupid, but lets also not pretend that bourgeois academia isn't trash

      Of all the things at university to criticize, a film class that discusses pornography with a focus on its influence across class and cultural lines is way down near the bottom.

      This isn't even anti-intellectual conservatism. This is just some terminally online harpy screeching in fury when academia acknowledges that porn exists.

      Actually sounds like a good class though, pornography has wide ranging consequences for society and social interactions

      Yeah. After reading David Graeber's bullshit jobs, there's a whole bunch of classes like this where I think they are better taught at a rec center or something.
