we are in a media literacy crisis

friendly reminder that characters don’t need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.

IDK if this was meant as hyperbole but it’s literally true:

Adult literacy is low.

Child literacy is low.

Information literacy has shifted dramatically in the last decade, but reputable information sources like research journals and factual news reporting have been unable to keep pace.

We are genuinely in a crisis of media literacy, with ever fewer genuinely factual resources available in the style and language used by contemporary audiences.

It may sound condescending, but we genuinely need to remind people, or worse, explain to them for the first time that art is not evidence of real world behaviour.

So, thank you, for this reminder. Genuinely.

You’re correct:

Art does not need to feature exclusively morally pure characters. Art is not proof of the creator’s secret, violent desires.

oh. Oh, no. That’s meant to be a line to show where the tail begins. Oh no, now I look like some weird prude.

Yeah, that’s meant to help people grasp the anatomy and visualize how small the tail is in relation to the torso. Not meant to be some kind of weird snake privacy screen

We CANNOT have snudity (snake nudity) on this webbed site

when i was very small i assumed this song was about some lady who literally kept a human face in a jar by the door and since father mckenzie buried her that meant that he also killed her and basically i thought eleanor rigby was about zombies until i was like 12 years old

what the hell else would it be about, 10/10 best interpretation

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

the only way Baldur’s Gate 3 could be better is if Larian was like “what if we went door to door and performed the sloppiest turbo vacuum head on each and every fan of the original games for free”. and tbh the game they gave us is not that far off from that. Fucking incredible

vaxilfan:

Being in a different fandom as a mutual but with a character name in common is hilariously baffling at times.

What do you mean Percy is a demigod? Do you know spoilers I don’t? How did vampires manage to murder his godly parent?

Oh. Wait. Your post was about Percy Jackson, not Percy de Rolo? That makes much more sense. Carry on.
