acaperson

An acaperson is someone who discounts lived experiences with academic discourse. They prefer to spew theory and prove how much they know instead of paying attention to real world praxis. They are all too keen to educate others whether it was invited or not.

Jane: I really struggle with veganism because of how expensive the dairy alternatives are
Karen: But studies have shown that dairy will make the world end by 2034. Here take a look at this report

Jane: Karen, please hear me out instead of being an acaperson.

Karen: Ok, but I want to talk about this over an acai berry smoothie.

Acaperson

An acaperson is someone who discounts lived experiences with academic discourse. They are more keen to spew theory and let others know just how much they have read, instead of listening to, or paying attention to real world experiences.

The need to educate others, especially when not asked for, (or acasplain) is stronger than the need for discourse and debate.

Jane: I struggled with veganism because I couldn’t afford non-dairy alternatives
Karen: But dairy will end the world by 2034. I read a report about it and it says that...
Jane: Karen, please stop being an acaperson. None of your reports will explain to you what I experienced.

Karen: Well ok. But I want to continue this conversation over acai berry smoothies. You really need to know how damaging dairy is...
