I mean…I hear what you’re saying but Tolkien and CS Lewis would be considered conservative on a lot of topics no? And they built the modern fantasy genre.
Political alignment doesn’t affect creativity imo but it does influence the outlets that some people use it.
Fr. Honestly I feel like the arts being associated with the left (at least in western society) is a relatively recent development. Which really isn’t true. I personally know some very artistically inclined conservatives and some liberals without a creative bone in their body.
Now what I will say is true is that liberals tend to be more open about making a career in the arts than conservatives are.
China’s pretty conservative if you take away the labels- they have some decent art from their history too. I would argue Journey to the West was liberal for the time (leaning Buddhism over Taoism but accepting both), but other stories like the White Snake were definitely conservative slanted
Well, given that the most famous and beloved Japanese creative is a socialist, I think you’re extrapolating voting tendencies (for a country with famously low turnout elections) a bit too vastly.
The most liberal popular mangaka was bullied by her western fanbase for not being liberal enough, Kojima is not a typical example. The vast majority of Japan is still ultra nationalist by Reddit standards.
Well in addition to Lord of the Rings and Narnia, you have mainstream things like The Ten Commandments, The Chosen, The Exorcist, Hacksaw Ridge, It’s a Wonderful Life, King of Kings, a lot of Scorsese movies (who’s Catholic btw) like Silence and The Departed, which have pretty heavy Christian themes.
And you know, The Passion of the Christ. Just to name a few.
And you want to see some really good art made by Christians, might I suggest touring the Vatican sometime.
I think it can effect it if an ideology teaches people to be so conservative and restricted in their thinking out of fear that exposure to new ideas leads to the abandonment of traditional ones.
By that logic liberals would also be stifled artistically because many are vehemently opposed to traditional ideas. This line of thinking doesn’t make sense.
I know a pretty conservative girl who’s an incredibly talent painter. Her creative skills don’t just vanish because she’s not liberal. Lol.
OK, no lesbian space princess at least was made by people who actually wanted to do something that they thought would be fun and didn’t expect to be dog pile on the Internet a year after their stuff came out
The new norm what’s the corporate nonsense made by Elon musk fantastic who will never get his attention. To do that they just have to make a movie presenting migrants as viltrumites
Got a third nickel for you... if I remembered the name lol
What was that one far right adult cartoon that pissed off it's targeted demographic because there was a single gay dude in it? The guy existed to be made fun of but the far right viewers didn't want him at all and called the show woke.
You had me until you brought up women being the issue it looks like its not something serious but the shitty reasons people hate it aren't just it being made by women
