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

    This is definitely not a made up guy. In engineering undergrad, rabid anti-arts/literature/humanities bros are one of the most common archetypes.

    It's simultaneously frustration about other people having "easier" coursework and brainworms about how those career paths are less lucrative implying that they are less deserving of respect. Hating on these people gives their fragile egos enough of a feeling of superiority to justify continuing to push through a course load that they wouldn't have entertained had it not been sold as a sure-fire path to economic success.
