Hello TravellingJack19! Why wouldn't we? Hmmm...good question. There is no reason not to. If something appears in popular culture over time I would think the masses carried it along via grassroots communication, I differentiate that from propaganda, fandom and reporting. I agree my post sounded condescending to an extent. I don't know whether I am being condescending or simply flabbergasted (but always grinning sarcastically in either case). It just doesn't sound like 'higher education' to me. But as I also said, it sounds like fun. My opinions are usually incorrect so I wouldn't take too great offense. Be well!"So watered down"? Why wouldn't we write theses on contemporary writers and popular fiction? That sounds a little condescending, wouldn't you agree?
