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."

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. "

Read

Reading in the definition of Video Games is like a sixth sense in the mind on a person, like you know exactly what they are about to do before the move happens and you've already thought to counteract. In simpler terms. It's similar to a prediction in the future.
With the character you chose and how you play, it's not hard to read you.

reading a textbook

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.
