Media literacy frustrates me because it merely exists as a facade of a term to insult someone for "not understanding an art piece" when its actual main usage is pretty much shaming people for not agreeing with collective interpretations of media

Sounds like you're coping massively because you got called out

Bingo
Death of the author, chuddy
Death of the author is why you have trannies on letterboxd saying that literally every random ass fricking movie is a trans allegory. Of course film is art which means you can have different interpretations, but that doesn't make you immune to missing the point. Some interpretations are just fricking stupid. If I tell you that Birth Of A Nation is actually a pro-black people movie about how evil white people are then you have every right to call me a fricking moron.
you need to improve your post literacy
It's literately just sophistry.
You can do it with anything.
You’re a dunce for engaging with it at all. If someone used that sentence near me I would mock them relentlessly ensuring they never used it again.
The term was only created to enforce social compliance
It seem to be a form of damage control when it come to Impact VS. Intent.
Are you literate enough in media to explain what is going on?
easy we live in a more socially progressive time and people who are typically more socially progressive tend to get jobs in entertainment arts etc where you're able to express yourself and that kind of environment. I imagine a few people on a marketing team told Calvin Klein that they would be able to sell more underwear if they were to appeal to this demographic since it's socially more acceptable to do so and they would net a significant profit from doing so.
I don't know why it's so surprising to people. where did you think all those tumblrinas you were arguing with like 10 years ago when? they got jobs.
Seems pretty evil.

Post SAT scores.

the idea that media has only one correct interpretation is just authoritarianism. they're accidentally revealing that their ideology is opposed to liberty.
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the prostitutes and politicians will look up and shout ‘Media literacy!'… and I’ll look down and whisper ‘Death of the author."
I bet that soijack thinks Starship Troopers was a critique of fascism and that the bugs were the good guys.
Whatever some dysgenic freak in a humanities or social science department tells me I must be, I do the opposite.
So they basically decide everything you do?
So basically you're moronic?
true but you know he's not going to look at it that way
imagine thinking media literacy only applies to Internet Arguments (TM) and being insulted by anonymous internet people
Beginning a sentence with “imagine” outs you as a gay

just use the term 'death of an author'
I don't believe in "Death of the Author." Whatever the author intended for me to interpret from the artwork is what I get out of, no more no less. "Death of the Author" was made up by israeli lesbian professors who were not talented enough to write their own literature, so they decided to neurotically pick apart other writers' works.
Idk maybe y'all just stupid lol
American History X is pro-nazi.
I only watch the first half of that movie
Media literacy means checking the primary sources of the shit you read/watch so you can fact-check it instead of believing anything you hear by any rando with a youtube/twatter account like a mindless drone.
The actual problem is that media literacy weirdos have this not so subtle tendency to act like there needs to be deference to the movie’s message.
>Ermmm don’t you understand that movie is actually about *insert pozzed message*
Ok and? Like yeah I do but that message is fricking stupid and just because they put it in a movie doesn’t mean I’m gonna take it seriously
if you find a character amusing in any shape or form without carrying an ounce of arrogant disdain, that means you not only agree with that character's views but you literally want to fuse and become them irl. sorry man, that's just how it works
OP thinks Frankenstein was the monster and also that the monster was purely evil.
Where do you get that from? Just because someone doesn't like stifling people's interpretations doesn't mean they are dumb.
But Frankenstein was the monster
remember when the left said collective interpretations of everything are bad?
>one man publishes a book
>tHe LeFt
Sometimes I look at this website and the posts almost seem like a parody of a Cinemaphile post. Just a complete lack of self awareness to avoid being a stereotype.
you misinterpreted those posts.
Election tourists
This website pretty much is a literal parody of itself, it's just that only about half of the people here are in on the joke. The rest either seethe over ironic shitposts, or see those ironic shitposts and then start believing them unironically.
What is "death of a author"?
Try typing that into a search engine, Evans.
I did. I still don't get it.
it means when the speaker agrees with the author, you have to agree with the authors intent or else youre wrong because the author is the one who made it after all and they would know best
but when the speaker disagrees with the author, it doesnt matter what the author intended because better minds (the speaker) can interpret what it actually means irregardless of its intent
Im a brainlet. I don't care for all this stupid bullshit. If I like the movie, I like the movie. If its slop, I despise it in its entirety.
then you lean more towards death of the author side of things
Thanks bro. I get it now.
What thread did you lose your argument in?
>the writer was saying x but I disagree with his conclusion because I personally think Y
>CHUD, IF YOU DONT ADOPT THE PERSONAL VIEWS OF THE AUTHOR AS YOUR OWN IT MEANS YOURE MEDIA ILLITERATE moron!!! BEING BRAINWASHED BY MEDIA AND PROPAGANDA IS A SIGN OF INTELLIGENCE, AND I SHOULD KNOW IM SMART AS FRICK AND WATCH HELLA MOVIES!!!
Because sometimes, those collective interpretations are more sound. Not always, but sometimes. When you try too hard to stand out, this often manifests itself as moronic Cinemaphile contrarianism.
I fantasize about torturing people who unironically use media literacy. I want to strap them down and put needles through every square millimeter or their flesh, cover them in honey and watch them be eaten alive by bugs
>for not agreeing with collective interpretations of media
"""media literacy""" is technically a thing about everyone complaining about it are the dumbest motherfrickers alive and they're usually mad that other interpretations besides their own are allowed to exist.
