SHUT THE FUCK UP, HOLY SHIT IT'S REAL
the essay deadass starts with "it is unknowable through what lens and mentality daisuke operated when he declared that bridget was a girl"

evergreen ass message
Like "This isn't set up or alluded too or represented anywhere, you just SAID it" and you don't use that to say "Well Dumbledor isn't gay then" you use it to say "God you're a fucking hack"
Its funny too how it gets used totally inappropriately for like "is Bridget a girl??" when like yes?? It's outright said. "There was a point where it wasn't outright said!!" doesn't really matter? Meanwhile "Dumbledore is gay," when stated, is the exact type of thing you'd use Death of the Author on
It's so wild. "What is actually represented and supported in the text" is like such a useful lens to analysis and it's like we took the thing that sounded the most brandable without thinking too hard about where it came from
Ultimately, even without knowing the source, the name is kinda of the problem. Death of the Author implies some kind of definite real truth and authority. The term is too sexy. It needs to sound boring so only nerds use it.
LRP is so fucking funny like I've always found it frustrating that Death of the Author circles around some useful literary lens but constantly gets ruined by people using it in really petty, arbitrary ways and in a funny way it's nice to know we didn't ruin anything, it was like that from the start.
Honestly the best use of the less stupid, modern use of "Death of the Author" is honestly @aqoc.bsky.social's character videos that talks about long established characters only in terms of what goes on on-screen and in the manual.
