Excerpts from an "academic paper" reprinted in the below book.

Academics get paid big bucks to produce mountains of such unreadable "research." Students borrow big bucks to study such "research." And the taxpayer picks up the bill.

Why is Katy Perry less popular than Taylor Swift?

Scarlett Johansson is cute, she has a nice smile, an interesting voice, she isn’t bad as an actress and I’m also mildly jealous of her naturally beautiful boobs.

All of that got her a lot further in her career than did the mere fact her being Caucasian.

The language used by academics is awful stuff.

I think it all derives from Hegel who influenced Marx. Everyone on the Left always wants to discuss the reification of the hegemonic patriarchal and semiotically-derived holistic confluence of socially dependent and independent manifestations of anthropological deconstructions.

They have no idea what they’re trying to say.

As an undergrad at UCSD, I had to suffer through the kind of explosive diarrhea contained in the excerpt above. It is exactly the level of thought observed in the graduate students in the Literature department. The key learning experience is identifying this kind of mental masturbation and ensuring that individuals steeped in that mindset never get hired into your own workplace.

Gee I wonder why Rosie O’Donnell isn’t as popular?

I glanced at other papers this author wrote and yikes! He’s not exactly a brainiac. Lots of nonsensical jargon, trendy “woke” words, delusional thinking... and apparently he is at Deakin U in Australia which describes itself as a “progressive, innovative and open-minded university.”

a discourse of idealised whiteness in conjunction with star theory

Normal, sane people don't talk like that.

They must be payed by the word.
I believe neither fans or foes of Scarlett are thinking anywhere near these lines.
Does peer reviews include a checkbox for Utter Rubbish?
If not, they should add one.

"Whitely"? That's a new one.

The gentleman behaved whitely when he gave his seat on the subway to an elderly woman.

All should see her in last year’s movie “Asteroid City”. Jeff Goldblum plays the alien and that’s one of the lest weird parts of the movie.

Wow. That's deep. (/s)

But if the author doesn't understand Arrival, it is hard to take it seriously.

Not that Arrival got the paradoxes of time time travel manipulation right either.
