The people that cry out about "media literacy" can't distinguish fiction from reality?
"Media literacy" is just them interpreting art through marxist lenses. It's a trick to feign authority: they first interpret works from prog authors, they explain the symbols and narratives. Once they garnered enough credibility to the public, they interpret works from other philosophical currents in the same way, this time they purposely misinterpret the symbols and devices.
That's why they say everything is political, that's why they say everything has always been woke and everything has always been problematic at the same time.
Frieren confuses them because it's about the existence of evil, they can't spin it as muh right wingers because it's about actions, not ideology, and they feel identified
their loss, been reading it most of the day since somebody brought it up, legitimately good story.
Because they constantly live in a world that has no rules besides what npc programming they get, and so reality is completely fluid for them. They're generally not even self aware to acknowledge it either.
fiction is reality to them.
Moral finger wagging requires absolutely zero effort but does give you immediate 'social standing' and 'self-importance'.
