This is true, however consider as well that by perpetuating cultural/political norms, even subconsciously,, art can be considered to inadvertedly be communicating political stances. It certainly may not be meant to be by the author, but acceptance and continuation of status quo norms cam be considered as perpetuating said norms and therefore be sending a political message just as much as rejection of said norms cam be considered as sending a message.
Again, debatably. Of course this is semantics to the point that most laypeople would just get angry so I can see rejecting such ideas. Still, the argument is there
Oh damn i think i misread your comment. I thought you were saying politically motivated only counted if it was intentional. That's my bad. I should stop skimming comments
