#illiteracy

[thomasthetankieengine]

Full illiteracy in the year of our lord 2026 absolutely WILL negatively impact one's life in most of the world.

But I suppose hagiomoto completely forgot about job applications, forms, instructions, price tags, food and product labels, maps, and road signs and is assuming the the only drawback of full illiteracy is that you can't read for fun... Yeah, no. If anything, that's the least of your problems.

And yes, I realize that it's easy to take it for granted how much basic reading is necessary in day-to-day life in most of the world, but still. The way that most of the world is currently set up assumes that adults have at least basic literacy skills and if someone doesn't have such skills, their life is going to be much more difficult.

reminder that wylan van eck is illiterate

this may seem silly but im serious

I dont mean he's dyselxic, i dont mean he can't read.

Yes, he cant read, yes he could be dyslexic. But i see so many people talking about his dyslexia and his disability and like that's fine this disabled bitch loves some representation. But its also fine for wylan to just be illiterate.

He can be dyslexic and illiterate, he can just be illiterate, he can be something else and illiterate. whatever your combo is.

but illiterate has been seen as a negative for so long, steeped in racism, classism, the patriachary, and ableism. It doesn't do us any good to avoid these words. Wylan is illiterate. That is okay, that is fine.

Wylan is illiterate and he is allowed to be. Let him be.

how come you claimed you’ve never said you owned satoshi, but in one of your posts you refer as your blog for him as “my gojo twin oc, satoshi”?

nuh uh, read. I said I OWN satoshi. what I didn't say was that I created the gojo twins trope. satoshi is my oc as I've stated multiple times and I won't let y'all act like he's not, even if he was developed from a trope.

I feel like we have to have a serious conversation about how people who do not even like to read can potentially affect the publishing industry and what does and does not get published and/or platformed.

Yes, I know the internet is not a real place. Yes, I know you are not likely to run into people who will actually tell you they do this--but this trend of people or "influencers" online saying, 'I skip paragraphs and go straight to dialogue to get to the good parts, teehee' could, I think, potentially cause real damage. Because these people are called "influencers" for a reason. They INFLUENCE!

I just have to wonder...how many writers will approach publishers only to be told their books have too many pages or too many words in them.

And here's the thing, if someone doesn't like to read, they don't like to read. That's them. That's their prerogative. But I don't think it's their place to insert themselves into discussions of reading in order to chase clout and influence the kind of stories that get published. It's going to hurt those of us who DO like to read and prefer complex and engaging stories.
