It's not even always a reading comprehension failure, sometimes they realize the real intent and just kind of do what they want with the material regardless. Authorial intent doesn't mean dick much of the time. Hell, when John Carpenter straight up said They Live wasn't about The Jews on Twitter a few years ago, his replies immediately ended up full of people who just kind of said it was anyways

Tell me that motherfuckers do not actually think They Live is about an antisemitic conspiracy.
