people will literally see a post of (supposedly) character or story analysis, and if it sounds fancy enough or uses enough big words they’ll just be like “yes omg EXACTLY” and hit reblog, and they’ll even call it gender studies or queer studies or whatever the fuck. because they feel like it’s automatically enlightened insight.

and so then you have posts that go around and get hundreds of notes but if you look closely it’s like… this is salad. just pure word salad. absolutely nonsensical. and you’re like, what the fuck is going on.

just because something sounds like a brand new genius insight doesn’t mean it actually is. you can and should, in fact, (internally) call bullshit by utilizing your own critical thinking skills because tbqh sometimes people using fancy buzzwords are actually NOT making significant points
