Interpretations of media that makes excuses for sexist/anti-lgbtq/racist themes by giving undue credit and nuance to authorial intent; especially as a way to give a pass to offensive writing in movies/books/etc you might enjoy.
"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. "

Get the Don't read memug. An activity that extremely mentally accelerated individuals do not choose to partake in from the perceived notion that it is a waste of time for their intellectual pursuits; for others this also means running their head into a brick wall and trying to find things to highlight that could possibly be meaningful for future reference when in reality it only devalues the book's resale value.
Kyle doesn't partake in a reading a textbook cause otherwise it'd be a Chiang reaction of boredom; but that's because he's smarft. Such smarft wow.

Get the empty readingmug. A phrase used to nonchalantly tell someone that you are smoking marijuana. The phrase brings with it a large number of puns that can be quite humerus.
Friend: (Calls you on the phone) Hey man, what are you doing?
You: I'm just sitting around 'reading the paper'!
Friend: Sweet, so I guess you got the 'news'!
You: Totally got the 'news'!
You: I'm just sitting around 'reading the paper'!
Friend: Sweet, so I guess you got the 'news'!
You: Totally got the 'news'!

Get the Reading the Papermug. Akin to the phrase “Reading between the lines” reading between the texts is a phrase used to describe the confusion of tone and implication in texting, especially with the member of preferred sex.
She texted me “Hey” but with 2 y’s. Maybe she thinks I’m cute, but I could be reading between the texts.
