It’s been a while since yours truly was in college, but it was the unbridled contempt for the humanities. When I took the humanities GEs you just had to find the group that tried the least and actively showed disrespect toward the class. I could almost see their faces contort in disgust when I told them I was majoring in literature, right before they went on the usual spiel about how useless my degree would be.

I can relate to that experience.

The handful of self-described "STEM master race" people I knew on campus at the time, without exception, became (if they weren't already) some sort of chud, including going on to work for fucking military contractors and the like.

Most humanities are glorified and expensive high school classes. I had to pay over $1000 to take a class on how to write fucking emails. Most of the decent humanities classes are upper level while the general ones are dogshit scams. They’re all online nonsense too. If i wanted to read articles and watch videos I would do that for free.
