I think well-articulated writing matches literal meaning with intent. I’m criticising the post because the literal meaning doesn’t make sense, and doesnt align with what I think the author meant. They wanted to say something like “I don’t appreciate AI art in d&d campaigns and would rather none at all” but instead tried to make a less subjective objection.
in a meme? i accept that it’s not a format for debate or nuanced discussion and assume the author doesn’t mean everything 100% literally, then i chuckle at the joke and keep scrolling
Fair enough. I take some things more seriously, because I see a pattern in them that I think is negative, and because even if they were meant to be funny I think the (IMO negative) point they’re making was still meant honestly.
you’re reading things very literally vs understanding the authorial intent

Well, can you be constructive? What do you do when you see something that’s communicated poorly?
