You would epitomize, ie, represent the epitome of the parts of it people hate.
Did you see that little term 'adj' when you looked up 'indicative?'
There are rules about what is modified by an adjective, and what is modified by a noun.

Of course, I am never, never a 'noun' (since I is not a PERSON, place or thing). Furthermore, my status as being in academia is never brought up here in the pejorative.  You are trying to define a word completely outside of its context, which is a big, big no no (but I'm sure that it serves you well when you are suing someone for asbestos contamination) Get real.
