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.
