Counter Point

I quit academia pornography, with a random coda.

This did not apply:
The allegedly left wing excesses and ‘vicious environment of political correctness’ in academia. This is popular to talk about, but to me is coded language for one of three things: [a]‘I am incapable of navigating difficult conversations about sensitive topics without annoying people, due to either the imprecision of my language and/or my latent ignorance’, [b] ‘I require an opposition to set my ideas against, and vicious PC culture actually perversely supports my perpetual quest for attention’, or [c] ‘I am a big fat racist, and I wish it was more convenient to be a racist’.
Without question, I've noticed a bit of excessive PC-ness at my school, but nothing that isn't fairly easy to navigate.

I wonder if I'm a bit guilty of "b."
