Indeed. It’s a field that has a terrible work ethic imposed on the most vulnerable and precarious, it’s elitist and dominated by white cis men and their enablers and it is virtually impossible to get bad people fired for their actions.

Medieval history is just a microcosm of academia in general though. We just have the added bonus of white supremacists weaponizing and appropriating medieval stuff but that is seen in other subfields too.

Seeing the stuff at Ubisoft go down makes me wish that all the tenured guys who we know for a fact are predators would get exposed and fired.

Yeah. And people who could make academia better are pushed out and harassed and alienated and abused by not just the individuals but the racist and sexist and homophobic and transphobic systems. And the bad ppl keep their jobs and those who know it keep their heads down.

Like it actively sucks, it really does, to see people who everyone knows did bad shit just keep their job? They interact with vulnerable people? And then we have to warn them but we can’t just say, X did this, because we can get sued.

So we have to like, contact people secretly and stuff. It’s really bad. Academia needs a reckoning.
