@pridebrary: How can two people watch the same movie and come away believing completely different things? With a little media theory, this short comes from a larger video exploring how franchises like Superman, Star Wars, and Star Trek can inspire wildly different interpretations depending on who’s watching 👀 🎥 Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/lyrlfvAN-kA #superman #startrek #starwars #representationmatters #medialiteracy

One thing that connects ALL right wingers is the lack of media literacy. They enjoy the surface level, and that is it.

So it's like Christians who think they're following Jesus, yet they vote Republican.

I was raised extremely Christian conservative. Their ability to miss every message of every story and somehow find a way make themselves the victims in every story is ASTOUNDING

me about the matrix. whyyy the hell did misogynist men take "red pill" as accepting the reality as them being better than women? the red pill is quite genuinely a metaphor for accepting yourself for being trans AS SAID BY THE CREATORS, WHO ARE BOTH TRANS WOMEN.

Literally all majors villains of our era are white dudes that missed the point of Sci-fi. Musk is closer to Lex Luther than Tony Stark

I've seen MAGA claim they are like the Jedi and I laughed so long and so loud.

Similarly the weird obsession of Lord of the Rings amongst right wingers when it's objectively anti-fascist and a includes a scene where actual trees dismantle industry. You know. Like it's pro-environmentalism or something.

they've never even had to think that deep and engage with media on any meaningful level because of how fucking privileged they are

Yeah it’s wild, cuz like the boys for example is so OBVIOUSLY against them, like even from season 1 you can tell it was a critique on the Republican Party and the regime it’s trying to create but for the longest time conservatives thought they were the Boys and not Homelander/Vought but literally in season 1 there’s a whole part where Vought is anti gay like hello which party is anti gay? Yeah republicans it literally slaps them in the face with it but it took some of them til season 5 to figure out they were being made fun of by this show

I heard someone say once that the right values aesthetics above all else. And that consistently proves to be one of the most true statements I've ever heard.

Those same fascists then go, “it’s not that deep.” 🙄

"The aesthetics, not the ethics" might explain why they like a band like RATM or System of a Down.... they hear the instruments and vocal inflection but sail straight past the lyrics.

they like it for the militarism. picard ready to blow up the ship and everyone serving under him ready to accept that order, they like hierarchy. it is affirming to them.
