Bonus nonsense:

Revenge of the Sith glazing

Glittering Images by Camille Paglia

I stopped reading after this horrendous introduction. I would describe the prose as Redditor adjacent. The author identifies as a civil rights era liberal and atheist, while condemning black art and Piss Christ. There were some pretty pictures in the book tho. I don't know who this author lady is/was but she sucks. 2/10

E: if you look this lady up, as many in the comments have done already, turns out she's a racist, transphobic pedophile. classic anticommunist

Paglia jokingly commented in an interview in 1992: "In the case of Sinéad O'Connor, child abuse was justified". This was her response to the singer's action on Saturday Night Live, where she tore up a picture of the pope in protest of the unfolding child sexual abuse scandal surrounding the Catholic Church

what-the-hell

In 1993, Paglia signed a manifesto supporting NAMBLA, a pederasty and pedophilia advocacy organization.

what-the-hell

In 1994, Paglia supported lowering the legal age of consent to 14. She noted in a 1995 interview with pro-pedophile activist Bill Andriette, "I fail to see what is wrong with erotic fondling with any age."
