But the study of literature necessitates critical and theoretical discussion of literature, surely? "Reading books" is not a subject. Do you think that all lit theory is terrible and bad or just that it's taught in the wrong way?

Equally sociology and philosophy are not like arts subjects, where you can enjoy the object of study - films, books, whatever - without theorising about them. When you read Wittgenstein or Weber you are doing philosophy and sociology. So the same criticism doesn't really apply.

I'll certainly take you at your word that you don't think these subjects are nonsense and just dislike the teaching, but I don't honestly think that's what any reasonable person would take from this comic. Why would someone be happy to be taking an exam in a subject that's been taught horribly? I find it very hard to read it any other way than "you can just bullshit your way through these subjects without preparing because it's all vague made up nonsense anyway". And it's fine to make that joke - although there are some morons who genuinely believe that - but it's not the same joke you say you're making.

A recent one. I guess someone might say that the joke is simply the inversion of the exam nightmare trope, but that doesn't really explain what seems to be a few pretty cheap potshots. So I'm confused as to what we're supposed to laugh at here, if not that part. Especially given the extra panel. Maybe that someone thinks that theory et al is bullshit, so the trope inversion is funny? Maybe that people might tend to write confident bullshit in classes like that? I don't know. Either way, humanities isn't exactly respected here, which is different from his other comics, where-in the joke is more focused on the person.

You'll note that I didn't say shit about him personally, which makes his defense--that he would never make those jokes since he has a Lit BA and reads a lot of nonSTEM books--strange, if not grasping.

You know, this isn't really a fight between humanities and STEM. Reddit loves to jerk on that, but (I can only judge from my experience here) STEM-people in the real world don't really think of humanities as lesser subjects.

I work in STEM and everybody there makes jokes about everybody else. We basically just hate everyone.

Mathematicians and theoretical physicists are often the butt of "DAE 99% USELESS" jokes, while more practical stuff (engineering, CS, biology) are often jokingly reduced to "nice how you research/do stuff you don't really understand".

If you actually ask people in STEM what they think of sociology, history, literary, theology etc. students, you will find that most people (there are always assholes) think it's important that these subjects exist and that humanity delves into these subjects.
