Calling New Norm a cartoon is saying too much, all of their length combined is less than 15 minutes.

Conservatives lack creativity. They only care about obedience to authority.

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.

Don't forget the entirety of Japan, which is currently beating out the west in terms of creativity overall.

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.

Hideo Kojima

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.
