There is nothing wrong with trying to learn work from new angles over time. But Shakespeare, like any other work, was made in a certain period of time and clearly reflects the life and experience of the people of that time. You cannot give it a different meaning just because centuries later people began to look at it differently. That is why attempts to see Frodo and Sem as gay just because 100 years later such intimacy between men was considered unacceptable is simply ridiculous. You ignored my last example, but I'll try again. Imagine you say "green tea" in your book, and 200-300 years later, "green tea" becomes a neo-Nazi slogan and people claim that your book has a neo-Nazi message built into it. Do you understand how absurd this is?

If your critique is driven by personal desires, or you're critiquing an old film for not keeping up with the changed morals, then we really need to think about why you critique.

Your example only confirms my point, because without realizing it, you showed how people found "new meaning" in an old book after international views on a thing have changed. This is reminiscent of the ignorant attempts to find "obvious" gay subtext in The Lord of the Rings, which "exists" there only because the concept of acceptable male intimacy has changed markedly since the book's release.

You are confusing subjectivity as "how I see things" and subjectivity as "how I WANT to see things". No one requires you to give up any personal opinion. But attempts to rationalize the substitution of the author's narrative for your own is already a big problem. Imagine you write a trans-friendly work about trans female characters and someone takes advantage of the author's death to read it like TERF work. Will you have problems with this?

It's just the right word here, because criticism should be neutral and as objective as possible, and not fall prey to wishful thinking or to force the work into an alien reading in any way. This is what ruined the Death of the Author as a literary device in our time. People began to abuse it too much to impose on the work the reading they desired, but impossible within the framework of the author's idea.
RobertBobert Jul 22, 2023 2:25 AM
I'm not against interpretations, but I see the modern understanding of the Death of the Author as a misuse of the idea in order to establish one's own headcanon, bypassing the style and intentions of the author.

I haven't read those manga so I don't mean any controversy. I'm just wondering why you decide what these mangas imply or are like.

Good evening. May I know why you consider gender bender romance an trans allegory?
It’s time to ditch the text file.
