I think I significant portion of leftist literalism (i.e. inability to see anything beyond written definition: literal meaning) stems from their own egotistical insecurities.

They CRAVE to be taken seriously.

In their mind, to be taken seriously is a way to command power and respect.

But when you have to INVENT injustice just to have something to be taken seriously over - like boycotting a game because of a single cosmetic option victory pose - ... it's unlikely sane people will listen. ... ergo they have to shut off their own brains in order to avoid questioning their own motives and muster enough charisma to sell this bullshit in order to gain power through respect.

Shut off your brain long enough?
...
It don't turn back on.

At that point the leftist becomes a literalist: incapable of independent creative thought beyond the literal definition angs what other people tell them.
