Low-tier WWE wrestler Isla Dawn subtweets Logan Paul on Olympic boxing: "Baffled by the constantly moving goalposts for womanhood. Just say you have zero media literacy and keep your transphobic opinions to yourself. " (archive.is)

Once media literacy used to be a skill/ talent, now it's just an insult, thanks lefties.

Across all platforms Logan Paul has 32 million social media followers. Isla Dawn looks like a shade under 500K. Tell us more about media literacy, Miss Dawn.

What is "media literacy"? Both ostensibly and really.

all it means is that you agree with The Message.

I thought it meant "understanding what the creator was trying to convey."

But they're leftists, and they change definitions daily to suit the subversion.

To them, it's "be as far left as you want, just don't be rational ie conservative"

Ostensibly, it's agreeing with the prevailing leftist interpretation of a given piece of media. Really, it's the ability to more deeply dissect a piece of media to analyse the author's intent.

Understanding the meaning behind a work of media. However, nowadays it's a buzzword for insulting people for liking things. Case in point, Starship Troopers the film is supposed to be making fun of the "space nazis" and pointing out that they are the bad guys, but people started identifying with them because of poor writing and they're fun so leftists are melting down over it.

That's the midwit reading of Starship Troopers. The actual meaning of Starship Troopers is "Verhoeven is an illiterate fuckwit who doesn't understand the book he's slandering."

Worse, he didn't even read it. He threw a faggoty hissyfit before getting through the second chapter.

"Guy who actually lived through war and it's aftermath take umbrage with the interpretation of a warhawk who spent WW2 sitting on a beach in California." Though I will agree, he should have been a professional and put those feelings in his own damn movie rather than associating his feelings on the matter with someone elses work.

The meaning behind a work is nothing more than an interpretation though...entirely subjective and varied from person to person. What a dumb concept for them to latch onto.

Literally have no idea what media literacy means. It's about "social media"? I always thought they used it when describing their unassailable analyses of fiction.

What it used to mean is the ability to pick up things that aren't explicitly spelled out, subtlety and symbolism etc. Things like recognizing Starship Troopers is trying to make fun of its source material.

The change came when they couldn't understand that people loved Starship Troopers type shows despite it trying to make fun of them. That people could recognize that fact and not give a shit because it was fun or the satire was that bad.

They can't fathom not treating Canon as Gospel nor someone not understanding the 12039142354 rules of the Prevailing Leftist Narrative in our society, so someone who doesn't must be stupid.

Verhoeven is a great example that even people who saw legitimate Nazis face to face will just say Nazi to anything they dislike.

In that way, its "fascist" because it looks just like America to him, and because America is Nazis to begin with that explains everything there. There is no "literacy" needed, its one insane losers extremist politics that only makes actual sense once you have him directly explain it.

Its like seeing the philosophical musings in Sonichu. Yeah we could find some that legitimately are represented through it, but in reality its fucking CWC fistfucking a girl he likes that he drew with crayon.
