Left-reading

"Zelda isn't actually a damsel in distress because she helps in defeating the final boss"

"No, that's just a left-reading of her role. She still has to wait around for Link to save her very frequently."

or

"The left-readings of Rey's role in Star Wars Episode 8 are too forgiving, considering she spends so much of the film trying to 'fix' men. "

Left and Tight

The overall ideal of a person leaving for no fucking reason. Even if theres a good reason to stay, or a bad reason to leave. — Leaving just knowing you can do something, knowing you can’t come back after pulling that dumbshit. The feeling of tucking your dick and balls between your legs in a knot, beyond repair afterwards.
Eg.
“Wow! He’s gone, he’s left and tight..”
