Left-reading

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."

"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. "

Half Read

When someone only reads half of something. Especially annoying during texting, leading to much confusion and miscommunication. Those jaded by this resort to phone calls for major planning, but this can be heavily resisted by introverts. They will not answer and then respond with a text, thus beginning a vicious cycle.

Bro #1: "Where you at?"
Bro #2: "At home chillin. What's up?"
Bro #1: "You're supposed to be picking me up for the game! -_-"
Bro #2: *rereads texts* My bad bro. I half read. Be there in 30.
