Once work leaves the hands of an author, the author no longer controls the narrative, or how the narrative is interpreted.
This sentence being upvoted on Lemmy of all places is hypocritical. I don't fully disagree with it, but people's interpretation of art can definitely be wrong. People interpreting fallout as anti capitalist could be wrong if the author says so. This is just being upvoted because it suits Lemmy's political views in general.
If someone interprets the Mona Lisa as an alien; that's wrong. Or is it?
Bit more realistic; why did nobody say "the interpretation isn't up to the author" when Trump decided to use Rage Against the Machine at his rally? Was that also not wrong because a large group of people interpreted the narrative differently than the author? Ofcourse they were wrong.
This is the right answer. To add to this; you produce more urine when you're cold for this very reason. When you have to go, you have to go. But try to stay in your tent and piss in an empty bottle, then cuddle up to that bottle when it's still warm. You get the best of both worlds.
Highly doubt it.
