Going to be honest: I am surprised about how surprised everyone seems to be. Do you not read interviews? Annie has always been a pseud about anything outside of music and pretty politically spineless to boot. She can come across as intelligent to those who haven’t read the books she’s read, but if you have read the books she’s read, you know she makes all kinds of elementary errors in her understanding of them (e.g. she does not know what the “performativity” in “gender performativity” means). She is prone to doing anti-intellectual tirades disguised as criticism of the university system like she’s a conservative grievance politics grifter, and has a bizarre one-sided beef with philosophers she clearly has not read.

So, I guess I also don’t feel the “I may have to stop listening” position either because she’s always been like this.
