What does "media literacy" mean, why has it increasingly become a buzzword in recent times, and why does it seem only to be used by snarkpilled shitlibs? From what I gather, on the overt level it is an appeal for use of valid sources and sound methods of media interpretation, but on the unconscious, tacit, or covert level it is much more straight forward in that it simply designates whether or not the "media literate" or "media illiterate" person uses ideologically approved sources or politically correct interpretive methods.

>>527079132>What does-Jews.It's always the Jews.
>>527079132>media literacyit means being able to read at a college level and not at a "I need everything black and white" level.it's interpretation and if you can't accept interpretation and think everything needs to be objective, it's a sign of being an NPC.they've been trying to make people NPC's for decades and hence there's zoomers who hate "unnecessary sex scenes" or who freak out when there's rape in their horror stories
>>527079411The way I've been seeing it used at least a dozen times since the leftypol raids have been going in the past few weeks is basically to claim that the accused is "media illiterate" because they don't have the same interpretation of a given piece of info as the accuser. So the inverse of what you're saying. It might be that they're just retarded and using their own phrase wrong
>>527079132being able to determine when narrative has been uncoupled from fact is media literacy, but you really only wanted to do the narrative part in this thread, and didn't really want a factual answer, correct?
>>527079772There exist beyond the first degree of metacognitive complexity inhering in exegetic and rhetorical narratives about any particular topic or event innumerable nesting n-dimensional hyperspheres of interpsychical wargaming decision trees and spectral relational topographies between the discrete linear rational branches of same. The layer immediately after "face value," which itself forms an arbitrarily bifurcating dichotomy chain with the null hypothesis, involves entertaining narrative possibilities logically or rhetorically contrary to "face value." In a theater of active cognitive warfare, this contrarian interpretation of a given set of facts is always the most common level of narrative creation with which the narrative field is immediately flooded by all tangentially and significantly interested parties. Some proponents of the contrarian view are innocently terrified of uncertainty, others are psy agents, leveraging aforementioned fear to snuff out, via satisfied curiosity, the dim, albeit nevertheless extant, light of free inquiry in targets in the approximate IQ range of 85-125. The animal rutting behavior that is the instinctual human desire to settle into a consciousness of true reality overwhelms the feeble mind's capacity to analyze and operationalize the intricate chains of branching dichotomies inherent in contradicting dichotomies diverging into further dichotomies which are the weapons of cognitive warfare. Even to begin to make the opening moves in preparation for the game of cognitive warfare, one must become comfortable with manipulating, dividing or combining, duplicating or eliminating all facts and rhetorical attestations, and all predicted subsequent developments of aforementioned details and positions in a multidimensional noetic simulation chamber in one's own mind. Development of this cogitative faculty is achievable through training, but most individual variation in same is determined by ancestral lineage factors...
>>527079132It means that to be "literate," one must only consume media from (((approved))) sources. Listen to NPR for an hour and see how fucking mad they get about "misinformation." They want to control narratives and have a monopoly on truth.
>>527079132It's used to vaguely gesture at the message of a piece of media because they lack the comprehension to describe it with their own words
>>527079984Yes it is using a nominally valid concept in the service of authoritarian, anti-thought ends. The "misinformation" reflex is the perfect example, it's used in exactly the same way, to compel uniformity of thought through appeal to authority or ideologically kosher sources>>527080191Yes it comes across as a buzzword that is taught to 101-level remedial undergrads and the ones who repeat it are the ones who don't mature very far beyond the level of a 101-level remedial undergrad. It's a skill that should be present in elementary school students so it's somewhat telling when an adult grasps onto the concept enough to repeat the phrase as an insult, as though it's something even worth thinking about
>>527079132It ought to me understanding the context of media. For example, any anime watching understands if a shot lingers on a character and then their jewelry jingles or something it means they're regretful/contemplative. Another example would be in movies, on the lowest level media literacy in movies would be to understand that they showed a 2 second shot of a random pencil because its about to be used in the next scene. This can make or break a show. For example, I would consider better call saul a high media literacy show. Someone like my retarded mother will watch it and can't figure out what is going on, she doesn't feel the tension of the subtext revealed by the cinematography.By leftists it literally just means either1) you didn't interpret it the same way they personally did(most common)2) they're angry a movie wasn't such effective propaganda that it completely changed your mind on a subject matter(second most common for the most retarded of them)3)They're coping for enjoying media that glorifies and or justifies their opposition.

Absolutely comfy and hilarious thought for me but imagine living in that hellscape of a life
>>527081883>estimator said Im smartCult leaders need to appear authoritativeHow much of your rumination is an attempt to justify crypto scams?The wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest
>>527080543Good post anon and you made a comprehension summary of the phenomenon to my understanding. Best post ITT. Thanks
>>527081039universities are outmoded and were always hives of feminism since they were founded in the 1000's. the second millennium was a millennium of universities
>>527079132>What does "media literacy" meanIt means nothing. It's a phrase that pseudo-intellectuals use to jack eachother off about their chosen interpretation of fiction, usually hinging on paradoxical ideas they don't actually believe.As an example, a liberal will tell you that you are not media literate if you sympathize with the government from Starship Troopers. If you dispute the director's intent they will cling desperately to his authority as the creator of the film.The real show starts when you point out that the director of the film is effectively mocking and misrepresenting the original intent of the novel's author. Heinlein was allegedly "fascist" and therefore his intent as a creator no longer matters.They are truly insane and can not be reasoned with. If they use those two words in a conversation they are threatening to retaliate against you for daring to think the wrong way.
>>527079132speaking of media literacy, why do they all say this is some brvtal criticism of capitalism and the rich?the rich couple are generous/benevolent and happily trust the protagonist family and give them jobsmeanwhile the poor family are despicable scammers who spend the whole movie committing crimes and trying to grift as much money as they can for as little effort as they possibleand yet somehow i'm supposed to think the rich couple are the bad guys? they never even did anything wrong
>>527079132Damn that's crazy. Have you ever considered not being a dogshit Republican who rapes kids?
>>527083228lol you got me there anon
>>527079132Between ipad babies, tiktok brainrot and AI we've seen a generation that mindlessly consooms media but fails to actually understand it, it's message and symbolism or the context it was made.
>>527083186if the poor family hadnt been trash their child would have married the child of the rich family and then they would have rich in laws
>>527083490yes it seemed like most of their problems are through their own making - the poorfags are the "parasite" that eats its host (the naive rich) to deathyet somehow lefties got the exact opposite message from the movie
>>527083595being rich is wrong and activities which cannibalizes the rich, and make free use of their resources without their permission, are sanctified in progressive ethics
>>527079132Media literacy implies reading a news article instead of just its title. That's literally it. All of you typing shit in this thread that isn't simply 'reading past a news headline' failed the IQ test. Get off my 4chan.
>>527083746where did you learn that definition, or are you just pulling your own headcannon out of your ass
>>527079132It means that you have to trust the news and their interpretations of science. This usual means pieces about studies, which the journalists haven't fully read and/or understood.
>>527079132>it simply designates whether or not the "media literate" or "media illiterate" person uses ideologically approved sources or politically correct interpretive methods.You answered your own question. /thread
>>527079132It has become a word that means knowing which media is wrong think and which is correct thinkIf you are media illiterate, it means you don't know any better, you're just uneducated and that's why you have the opinions you do
>>527079132In practice it's one of two arguments:If the villain is right-wing, pragmatic, loves his people and makes good arguments:>Wow there buddy, you seem to lack media literacy, he's actually the bad guy and you shouldn't sympathise with him!If the villain is cartoonishly evil or demonic, but not racist/right wing:>Look man, the humans in Starship Troopers are the bad guys, the bugs are just misunderstood!>The demons in Frieren should be given a chance, Frieren is racist! >>527083186God that movie was overrated, like most of their media honestly. And I've enjoyed some Korean films and I read quite a few webtoons.
>>527079962you talk like a fag
I didnt take commie faggotry 101, but the simple explanation is this; shitlib makes piece of media. On surface its something cool like genociding alien space niggers. But the government is corrupt as shit the mMilitary is brutal to the human cadets and troops, and the war is an absolute slaughter fest meat grinder. They commit untold war crimes on the aliens. A normal dude wont pay much mind to the political subtext, messaging, and enjoy a cool sci-fi war movie.A libshit faggot will then go on and on about mr.jew directors message and how the chuds are media illiterate.The whole concept is utterly asine and retarded. Its a pseudo intellectual way to call people who dont care/reject the faggot message but still like it as dumb fun entertainment, or due to gayniggers not having any real idea of how a Fascist/Nazi/Actual right wing person thinks, cant understand that their villain is actually the hero to that portion of the audience. Some can, but again utter failure to understand in their attempt to mock they make the coolest character the villian.Starship troopers is the classic example in my mind, but its everywhere. A libfuck show/game/movie where the bad guy chud is the most badass and cool part of the thing.I suppose its really a fancy cope term- my jew subversion had the opposite effect that I intended. Rather than admit my failing, I will instead call the audience retarded.
It's just yet another word libtards have invented to pathologize anyone who disagrees with them. They use it to claim that their opinions are the informed, educated point of view and everyone else is a dumb, uneducated hick.The latest iteration of "you're too dumb to be an enlightened libtard like me". Nothing new really.
It means that when a piece of media intends to be a moralistic caution against something, but inadvertently makes it look more glamorous. A common example is Scarface, which is idolized by criminals who don't read its message against capitalism Media literacy can easily be countered by another buzzword phrase: death of the author. Pepe the Frog is a good example of this, no one gives a fuck about what the creator of pepe wants anymore or thinks he represents
>>527083868>where did you learn that definition, or are you just pulling your own headcannon out of your assThat's been the definition since like 2004. Liberals tried to co-opt the term with some fantastical complications; however, 'media literacy' has always meant being able to read a news article without just only reading the headline.
