It's like who's making the stories and creating the art designs and characters for these things? If the world was full of engineers.... I don't even wanna think about it... I just kinda felt like getting that off my chest.

EDIT: I'm talking about STEMlord types here, just to be clear. Not STEM majors, but the specific type that loves to lord over the fact that they are superior to other majors. And I say this as someone who did STEM myself but only came to really appreciate the humanities much later.

EDIT 2: This clip from Jurassic Park is so critical here: https://youtu.be/mRNX6XJOeGU

    At my school the humanities were dirt cheap and the science classes all had multiple hundred dollar textbooks. Also the humanities professors would just pirate shit for the classes.

      You're saying like this isn't a frequent thing in STEM classes. One of my physics profs shared a Dropbox with about a dozen books for the course. Most of my profs advertised libgen as a way to get the textbook.

        For some reason a lot of the science professors at my university were allowed to require their own textbooks *that they had written and basically force the students to buy them.
