actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

Fact is oghren loved branka in the way y’all can only put in fanfic & wattpad kidnapped by one direction stories. Oghren loved his paragon so much that he drove his entire house into the dust just for a CHANCE to fight for her. 2 entire years he spent banging on the doors of the assembly/palace demanding she not be abandoned. Of course it drove him to drinking and raging and drinking some more, he was taught that paragons are living GODS (pretty much) and was contending with the cruel, shattering reality that it’s been reduced to just face and politics. And there’s a lot to unpack about political corruption there but there is also a note to be made about how far into the abyss the darkspawn have pushed his proud people into over generations upon generations. He isn’t just mourning branka he is mourning honor and culture and religion. His OWN but also his PEOPLE’S. You’re not allowed to talk to him about it though uhh fart joke - here, hold that

like. im asking as someone who has written anti-chantry meta. and also someone who has pro-chantry ocs. and also someone who posted a tiny bit of info about myself like almost two weeks ago and got anons within MINUTES accusing me of the most heinous of things.

[v-arbellanaris]

like. i just wanna talk. why is it you seem perfectly comfortable navigating the topic of mages and elves in dragon age, up to and including pointing out that bioware's portrayal of these issues as two-sided complex conflicts is nonsense. but then, when it's like. real life.

#again. i know why. i just want you to know i see it. #''fiction u consume doesn't reflect ur real life''-- that's not what im talking about.

[v-arbellanaris]

hey on a separate note, why is it that you guys come out of the woodwork in my notes to support the "its just hightown" posts but then ignore palestine posts i reblog

#im kidding. i know why. i just want you to be uncomfortable with it.
