The worst thing about leftist gamers is ironically their lack of media literacy 😂

Why for instance is Metal Gear Solid not considered "woke" when it has themes advocating nuclear disarmament, the evils of war, and had a diverse cast of characters

Funny thing is they hate its diverse cast. They're mad the fags are villains and the non-whites look and act like stereotypes. It's like that for old Street Fighter games too, it's why you'll never see El Fuerte again unless he's censored and revamped, liberals would cry racism.

Isn't it to infiltrate some place, kinda like Cloud did in FF7?

Using the term, "media literacy" unironically immediately makes me dismiss someone's opinions.

It is such a faggotty term.

I only used the term as a Uno reverse card against the leftoids, they love their media literacy so much until someone points out how all of their favorite video games present worldviews that are completely incompatible with what the troons are advocating for in real life.

In this game you play as basically an Aryan Ubermensch who together with his idealic Aryan Princess fight to save the Kingdom of Hyrule

Um no, the new goyslop Zeldas are about how hhhhwite people are nearly extinct, there's only two of them left, and instead of just fucking and making huwite babies, Link spends his youth traveling around the world and doing all kinds of degenerate shit like crossdressing etc.

It's right up there with dog-whistle.

I mean, the term "gaslighting" is overused, but is there really any other way to describe the idea that people didn't hear or see or read what they interpreted from a piece of media?

It's less "literacy" and more "you interpreted this wrong." You weren't supposed to watch Starship Troopers(or read it) and think "sweeeeeeet, killing bugs, bro'ing it up in the army to kill bugs and save humanity good," You were supposed to commiserate with the author about how fascism is bad. Helldivers also, the human voice lines are meant to be ironic and the death toll illustrate the horrors of war, but people just liked it at face value.

A fascist/militaristic society even when portrayed satirically is still far more appealing to the average person than the fake and gay woke dystopia we are currently living through in the west. That's the real message of Starship troopers and Helldivers, media literacy obsessed leftoids can cry all day about it but it's the simple truth on the matter.

Ironically, I've only ever seen libtards use the term "media literacy", usually in the context of gaslighting people ("Mario was ALWAYS a gay icon, this is why media literacy is important"). I don't know if the term is inherently retarded or not but it sounds kinda dumb.

I had a class called "media literacy" in the early 2000's. It was mostly about how the news is thinly veiled propaganda. That was my main takeaway. I guess you could say it had a left-leaning bias if you consider anti-war & anti-globalism left-coded (I do not). It did lean heavily on Chomsky, but he's right about this topic.

There was barely any mention of popular culture. The specific media that was discussed was almost all print and network news, there might have been a few mentions of fictional media, but I don't recall any specifics. CNN was probably the most common media being shit on in the class.

It was only made into satire in the film; in the original novel it's played straight.

The appeal is in the themes of feeling a deeper and far more meaningful sense of connectedness to your fellow man when facing down existential threats that you know you probably won't survive against, but if you do, it will feel all the more fulfilling for having done so through strength of fellowship (and heavy firepower).

Something something, facing down a cruel, indifferent universe and either falling together or overcoming together. Sure, you're involuntarily serving a system of power that keeps you shackled and suppresses your freedoms, but the same system also enables you and your brothers to be the badass killing machines that you are.

It can technically work, but only through reductio ad absurdum - it would require taking something obviously woke, like Dustborn of Veilguard, and using "media literacy" techniques to "prove" it's actually far right propaganda. If done successfully, it would render the technique useless and prove it's bullshit.
