Another note, I’d like to add on: Dark Academia can be a lot of things and I can’t define it for everyone, nor will I try to. However, Dark Academia is not only about being studious or type A. And this subreddit, as long as I am a mod, will definitely not be “conservative” (I don’t mean politically, but rather philosophically). This is an aesthetic inspired by Ancient Greece, Oscar Wilde, Donna Tartt, it is never going to stop being hedonistic and indulgent to a certain degree, and that’s part of the appeal, I think. And also, of course, we’re going to keep being tolerant of everyone no matter race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality.
