People are lacking reading comprehension and media literacy these days
The amount of people who take things at face value is beyond me nowadays. It's extremely irritating to see how people don't even try to see the deeper meaning of a piece of literature/media anymore. They just scream out the first thing they think of, act upon their own biases without considering or understanding the literature/media for what it is, and overall just don't look at the bigger picture.
On a serious note, this will have a bigger impact on our society than what people may think. Our society (social, specifically.) advanced due to people starting to look at the bigger picture, thinking outside of the box and putting themselves in each other's shoes. But nowadays people take everything too literally, assume, spread fake news etc. instead of taking a step back and analyzing things first. I'm so tired of people just degrading literature/media to the level of thirst material, or just straight up hating on it because they find it weird/can't understand it (take the psychological genre for example)
TLDR: People are stupid and it annoys me
I relate to this and I think it's mostly the internet bc everything gets memed to death. If a certain scene didn't spoonfeed the context to the audience then it's called unfinished or disjointed, while it's mostly because that's the intention. Certain suspenseful moments and surprises don't make it poor storytelling.
