- ... that academese has been criticized for being unnecessarily complex and in extreme cases, purposefully discriminating and obfuscating?

Overall: 
I'm surprised there wasn't an article on this subject until yesterday. This is pretty well-written, comprehensive, and neutrally written. Of course, people have a lot of opinions, but the article is presenting them as opinions, rather than fact. Mostly, the one issue I have is that I think that the article could stand to have a little copyediting (phrases like "Another comic that made fun of this topic is" don't strike me as encyclopedic). jp×g 22:17, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
How can the subject be featured in Calvin and Hobbes in 2013 if the comic was last published in 1995? Thriley (talk) 13:58, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

What is this anti-intellectual horseshit?
[edit]No entry I have seen on Wikipedia since cried out for deletion like this one. Disgusting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.213.222 (talk) 18:47, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
