    So you don’t know what media literacy is, either, hey? Generally, it involves reading a whole narrative in order to interpret the relationship between the different things being said as well as how the message is portrayed.

    Paying attention to choices the artist makes like, when they’ve drawn very masculine figures before, why they didn’t do that with this particular character. Choices like how men aren’t even mentioned… Unless there’s some new kind of literacy I don’t know about where you invent things and double down on them extra hard — because you can’t identify rejection sensitivity for the same reason it’s hard to see what a house looks like from inside of it.

      So you don’t think the literacy in media literacy is the same as in general? Funnily enough, you’ve actually been using “media literacy” incorrectly lmao.
