Patience, YuBiusk Ink, patience! Just because there aren’t many non-binary filmmakers doesn’t mean it’ll be that way forever, it just means it’ll take more time but we’ll get there someday. One day, I want something as powerful as Disney but with a workforce entirely of non-binaries/LGBQT+ and be benevolent and prosperous.
Those works are indeed propaganda. It’s not quite a term to be dismissive of central themes of works, it’s meant to be my decision of disassociation (in this case). I certainly don’t expect people to conform to my opinion, but like I said in my earlier point, I just want honesty. I do have politics and propaganda within my works here and there, they are part of the story observed by characters, though my literature is not inspired by them, they are minor subplots. I tend to like the fantastical adventures over anything else.
I agree, cop shows are indeed propaganda--how often do you see police brutality in them?
Basically, I can’t realize symbolism or themes in artwork, they are ideas rather beyond my intellect! Thanks for sharing the details, too.

I couldn’t finish reading Animal Farm, I found it kinda dumb. I don’t need a children’s story to illustrate politics, I’d rather have actual politics to observe. Literary endeavours to explore politics tend to get outdated. Even Marxism/Marx criticized capitalism that wasn’t the same as capitalism now, so there really is no point studying outdated info--unless someone wanted to, of course. Generally speaking, an influx of consistently new ideas is better.

All your points are reasonable. The ‘white man bad/straight white male/white privilege’ tropes aren’t really contributing to creating something better. It’s OK to criticize opulence and privileged elite if someone wants to of course, though there comes a point where we must realize there are no political solutions, only the decisions of the individual to become as independent and autonomous as possible.
