It's interesting how people so detached from these fields that they think "Buffy studies" or "Madonna studies" is a field you can enroll in to get a full degree in rather than just a niche subject in a greater field (usually some form of Media Studies or its offshoots) that rarely has more than a singular course available still find it important enough to express their disdain for it, literally making something up to be angry about. If you're upset that Media Studies exists as an academic field, fine, but at least be honest about it and don't pretend it's a specific thing you take offense with just because girls like it.
