People tend to think of functional illiteracy as just being unable to read words aloud or such.
What it *really* means is such as not being able to perceive subtext, context, understand who the audience of something may be, etc.
Media illiteracy is fundamentally part of functional illiteracy.
Think about all the boomer replies you've seen where someone angrily replies to everything that drifts onto their timeline as if it is personally addressed to them.
"But I don't have a dog"
"Why am I seeing this?"
"It doesn't mention cats at all."
54% of US adults read below the 6th grade level
Part of functional literacy is being able to understand, on your own, the concept that the writer is writing for a specific audience. That the thing has a specific context.
Like, an article about dog grooming is addressed to dog owners. It does not need to include cat grooming.
Think about chuds constantly going "man I used to love this band but they turned woke by putting politics in their songs" and the band is literally Rage Against the Machine or Bruce Springsteen.
54% of US adults read below 6th grade level. 20%, below 5th grade level.
Think about authors having to explain that they should not *have* to have the villain stop periodically and go "what I am doing is wrong, I am doing a bad thing. I am the bad guy, here" because being able to figure that out is part of what it means to be functionally literate.
Fun fact: 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level.
You have to actively remember literally over half the US adult population is *unable to perceive subtext*

I would not be interested in that movie in pretty much any other case
I did not figure out until yesterday the Wii Shop Music YouTube video guys were the Nirvanna/Dirties/Blackberry guys
Guess I'm a marionette now.
Watching YouTube and this ‘tuber says “I used to hate school even in elementary school and couldn’t wait to get home and play TrackMania.”
That’s the game my friends and I used to play in COLLEGE.

One terrible thing about the modern world is how because every video game designer just cribs from occult sources, in doing a search for spells to banish the demon Chrononzon, I learn that if he is hit with all four element spells he goes to half HP.
I go into detail at the link but it does contain spoilers for the movie and the game since the story is the actual thing that made me most mad.
They're calling it the most healthy industry ever.
