Meanwhile the “media illiteracy” you’re referring to is probably just someone with a different opinion

Literally was on a completely unrelated and random TikTok video and one of the comments brought up the word “male centered” and in the replies like clockwork was a love island s7 obsessive fan going on about Huda in a completely unrelated convo, not everyone that is tuned into LI is a part of all of these toxic “fights” and narratives and are allowed opinions on reality shows without it immediately referencing a “side” or some narrative

if we don’t know what you’re referring to you should have given context before they commented

Well yes! But that doesn’t mean every conversation about women being “male centered” immediately refers to Huda, it’s like some LI fans just pick up on buzz words and need other ppl to form opinions for them, that’s media illiteracy to me. If the shoe doesn’t fit then I’m prob not even referring to u, we’re not all a monolith just cause we watched a season of a show.

That fact that u see me calling out something specific and take it personal, apply a different meaning than intended, or clarified, or immediately assumed I was opposing ur point (I’m the FURTHEST thing from a Huda defender), was pretty much my original point

oop! i didn’t assume you were opposing my point or anything of the sort! maybe you’re getting confused bc i’m not talking anything personally. also that’s the AI summary (not a valid source) people seeing a comment about being male centered and mentioning huda is not an example of media illiteracy. Tik tok comments are not something that are strictly regulated by a specific topic it’s literally a free for all a lack of media literacy would look like someone claiming that huda -

is not male centered because she “said she was a girls girl” Honestly if the comment was something like “man i can’t stand a male centered woman” and they brought up huda from love island as an example that’s actually pretty media literate i agree that there’s a HUGE problem with a lack of media literacy in this country and maybe you just didn’t thoroughly explain the scenario enough but from what limited information i have that specific instance sounds correct to me

U jumping to a fight before ever saying h misunderstood my point or I might’ve worded it wrong is another example in my eyes. I never said meant that bringing up Huda in a convo around being male centered as an example is weird or should be seen negatively tf. It was a specific user bringing Huda up in a completely different convo bc it was the only context she’s ever heard that word and still used it wrong.

1. i’m not fighting you 2. if you never meant that then you should have phrased it differently because that’s how it came across 3. That makes more sense now that you finally added that missing context (even though i’m not sure how you know that she’s only ever heard the word but i digress)
