95% of identity politics + critique are intellectuals trying to say they
like or dislike something.

What she was trying to say is she likes Pynchon.

I enjoyed her excuse for the portrayal of Herero history through a German
voice in V.  I really doubt that was what TRP was thinking---for me it's
more a denunciation of the invisibility of the oppressed than "it would be
wrong to put a Herero perspective". Nothing wrong about posing as a German,
though.
That part was a fancy way to state her opinion on how people should behave.
