Real Dark Academia are Academics who were forced into exile for their radical views, its not an aesthetic to be adopted by edgy zoomers.

It's not something you would know about, but it's quiet, intentional, and deliberate. Through my career people have tried to get me to join absurd conventions, agreements, and petitions. It's probably one reason I've not done well, bc I always avoid them. The people at these meetings my age, to and who went to lower tier places, got jobs.

They want to boycott this or that, hotel chains, money, countries, etc. Lately it's been really tranny oriented.

yeah but then these dummies realized that you the shallowness of liking it as an "aesthetic" contradicted the very idea of what said "aesthetic" supposedly stood for, so the publishing industry eventually tried to capture that demographic with refurbished ya novels that aped the tropes associated to dark academia in the most superficial way possible

Dark academia shit was always superficial from the beginning. There wasn't anything it stood for actually.

Those are just mystery novels taking place in a college setting. That stuff existed since Nancy Drew.

Great thread, OP. I used to really enjoy the Dark Academia scene on tumblr until they all started pushing POC inclusivity garbage and trying to do mental gymnastics to get around the fact that dark academia is inherently related to the elitism of gothic universities in Europe.

I've been around a few of those people when I did my art a level, was kinda pumped to finally have someone to talk to about the greeks and classic European writers and artists.
Turned out none of them even read and I just looked like an autistic wierdo when I tried to bring it up.

None of this is a good thing. People wearing their stupid beliefs and surface level interests as personalities literally always makes them seem obnoxious and incredibly boring.
Whenever you see a raving Twitter leftie or a /pol/tard who can’t go a single post without talking about Jews or niggers you know that that person doesn’t have anything fulfilling going on in their life.

many western esotericism figures up until the rise of secular governments. Gnostics, neoplatonists, many other 'heretical' schools. You may not call mystics academics but that's only because western esoterism is what the academic elite (philosophers, the catholic church) has been defining itself against for 2000 years

dork macademia is actually fat old jewish guys and was never meant for anorexic spoiled brats with instagram-induced brain rot
it's the type of extremely 'unsexy' people that can only talk about their weird and obscure interpretations of Cervantes or Hobbes, the type of people that zoomies generally avoid because their lack of understanding of what these nerds are talking about puts fear in them thinking "whoa is this guy a nazi?"
