Something I’ve noticed a lot in recent online discourse is what I’ll call “selective literacy”, allow me to explain: There’s a group of people online who take things like Jax from Digital Circus and insist that he’s trans because of the context of scenes, themes, and undertones present in the final episode, with no word from the creator whatsoever (I know there’s been a post now but my point still stands). If you dare suggest the contrary, or admit that these things are not as obvious to the general audience or put together well, you’re simply deemed as wrong and ostracized from the online space. Then on the flip side that same group of people will tell you that IzuOcha isn’t canon, despite the same type of context and theme usage being present in the final episode of MHA. They do so many mental gymnastics to prove their point that you kinda have to wonder if they need to touch some grass. “IzuOcha can’t be canon because it wasn’t explicitly romantic!” Yet, Jax can be trans without it being explicitly stated in the episode. Do you see what I’m getting at here? Terminally online twt users are so far into their own delusions that they can’t seem to pick up on their own double standards, or admit that their “interpretation” of a series is contradictory to what’s stated in the canon. I firmly believe media literacy is dead and we killed it. In a world where truth is subjective, everyone has to be correct, and my feelings are always valid, there’s no room to properly discuss things that are objectively true anymore.

@NoVive_Socialis El que escribió eso prefiere ser un zurdo recentido que sentarse a considerar que su ideología de mierda causó la mayor parte los problemas que dice querer arreglar.
