i know that 'media literacy' is becoming one of those overused terms online like 'slop' but i genuinely genuinely wish more people would be willing to read books that challenge them and engage with shows in good faith when they are more complex and nuanced than they're used to

Regardless of ideology, this "monologuing directly into the camera about social justice" is so corny. It's the total death of subtext, turning art into pure propaganda. It's bad writing, poorly staged, etc. If you support the message, you should want a better scene to tell it!
mt gente se perguntando pq a inglaterra n jogou desse jeito contra a argentina e todo mundo se esquecendo que a argentina N DEIXOU a inglaterra jogar pq a cada início de lance perigoso eles matavam a jogada com um lance agressivo
Death of the author is all well and good but it’s concerning that people have apparently decided that authorial intent doesn’t matter At All. You can and should have your own interpretations but it is vital to literacy to understand and engage with the author’s intent in a story.
My honest take regarding the "devastatingly beautiful" lines in fanfic that are clearly not great is that, often, you can tell when a writer is experimenting with a writing device they find beautiful but that they haven't found their footing with. That's fine. Admirable, even.
Before you stands a thing of metal and wheels that looks like you but does not blink, whose hunger is both absent and endless, and you trumpet a challenge it cannot hear and brace your tired muscles against its relentlessness because someone must, and there is only you.
you have no healthcare, can't buy a house, rent is almost unaffordable, food is skyrocketing, no paid leave, no childcare. but your tax dollars will fund a foreign country with healthcare, paid leave, childcare + funding the entire lives unemployed settlers & the orthodox.
I think the long gaps between seasons of shows are a huge part of how insane fandom has become. people get SO invested, and have years to tell themselves what the show is. their opinions about characters calcify until any evolution is seen as the writers making a mistake.
the craziest part about calling other lesbians "fakebians" and claiming you know that they are secretly bi and in denial about wanting men, is that you sound exactly like men with dyke-breaking fetishes. there is absolutely no difference in some of the rhetoric you're spewing
