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."

"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.
It makes sense from their perspective. They're massive believers in credentialism, and if someone who has some authority, whether by degree or title, says X media means Y, then that must be true and your disagreement with that interpretation is because you aren't properly trained.
Once media literacy used to be a skill/ talent, now it's just an insult, thanks lefties.
What is "media literacy"? Both ostensibly and really.

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