     @Dicer It's possible to take different lessons from a work of fiction than the author intended. When I take the media in I can do with it whatever I wish. I can embrace its messages, reject, them, or embrace some parts and reject others. Blindly accepting the worldview of the author is bland and boring, and even if you find some points of agreement, points of disagreement are also natural and normal and healthy. These types are all gray goo soy creatures who fear authentically diverse opinions and are incapable of engaging with them except in the most moralistic manner.

     @ArdainianRight @Dicer I myself am critical of the Death of the Author approach, but when *the work itself* doesn't support the virtue signaling bullshit the creator is trying to impose on it, rejecting the revisionism is only appropriate.

     @ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight @Dicer i dont think it is "death of the author"
     It is "failure of the author"
     Notice how "death of the author" isnt used on good authors like tolkien
     Even godless commies need to acknowledge the heavy christian elements in LOTR with gritted teeth

     You have to be insanely spoiled and sheltered to think that using brutal force to crush invaders and criminals is never, ever justified. There's a lot of really tricky questions and moral dilemmas in dire situations, but killing people/aliens who are trying to kill you should not be one of them.

     I love the movie adaptation. The clearly Californian kid from Buenos Aries. The cast of Melrose Place in a space opera. "The only good bug is a dead bug." It shows how fascism is completely acceptable when your enemy are literal bugs.
     
     It's so perfect because you can't tell if it's accidentally, ironically or intentionally insightful).
     
     People complain it doesn't do justice to the complex themes in the book, but I think the movie is better. The book is boring unless you enjoy military structure porn. (It's like Moby Dick in space ... Heinlein is overrated).

     @ArdainianRight While I can understand the thing you intended to express hear, the fact is a lot of the time, online tards and people in general simply find singular faults in reasoning and reject entire arts pieces as bad just based on said flaw, which really is a disagreement.
     And instead of seeing how well the piece stands on it's own message and premise and does them justice, you will have rightoids essentially get hang-up on tiny details that ultimately don't matter because the art peice, say a book, is completely different secondary world that doesn't need to abide by the reading audiences priori.
     
     I've seen rightoids seethe and rage when a comedy turns serious for a scene or two. They will find any literary analysis possible to make their disdain and dislike of something as ''a hecking valid opinion.'' Instead of just going, ''Yes, I don't like this I think it's shit.'' and leaving it at that. It needs to be objective somehow.
     
     Hence why I don't care to ever discuss art or my like of media with anyone because I don't care for their POV, it could all be based simply on the fact something ticked them the wrong way or that a single nigger was in a film and now some rightoid goes on a tirade about muh fucking kikes!!!
     I saw this exact behaviour around here with Palworld, somehow it was only Americunts that went, ''this is just an indie dev trying to dunk on Gamefreak.'' entirely projecting their own dissatisfaction with a franchise onto an independent medium that took inspiration from it.

     I hope you do kill yourself rightoid who cannot understand that different fantasy world have different rules based entirely on the creators and are not made by a signal authority, which you wish to be.

     @Dicer @narada @wgiwf The only way to deal with this sort of thing is to refuse to engage with retards on this and focus on having constructive discussions with a handful of intelligent people on the margins of the discourse. Arguing with troons is the pinnacle of an exercise in futility. This is a big reason why indoctrinating children into that garbage is so wicked and poisonous.

     @panzervor @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @Dicer When I saw Barbie, it was a tragedy of forever living in a matriarchal and feminist Barbie world and how it benefitted immensely when Ken took over everything.
     
     This was not Greta Gerwig's (nor her husband's) intention at all.

     @ArdainianRight @Dicer This is what's fascinating to me. Do we really have so many over-educated college midwits that have never taken a literature class? Reviewed something from a feminists perspective, or a historical perspective, or a contemporary perspective? Media analysis like this, that's pretty much always independent of the authors true intent, dominates in academic circles. Then suddenly they'll act like "oh, no, only the authors intent matters".

     A lot of these types are teenagers who watched a couple of video essays. That's what counts as "educated" nowadays. Reading actual words on paper and thinking through their meaning doesn't happen anymore, just put on some background noise with buzzwords to spoonfeed you your opinions. We live in a shockingly retarded world.

     @Kerosene @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @Dicer @Vidmastereon Fags really have mentally corroded themselves to the point that they can't understand spending time with other dudes as anything but closeted fag shit. In reality dudes just are friends in different ways then women and fags are and they just can't grasp it, so they project their own deficiencies onto normal people.

     Yes, and even within the rot of the modern colleges, you had a few decent English professors who treated good lit with respect. You have classic texts like "How to Read a Book" or the vast literature in theology about proper interpretation that's useful in the rest of the world. These people have no excuse to pick these, often free, resources up and improve their exegesis skills.
