Genuinely curious about what people think about this. Should artists generally stay out of politics/refrain from expressing their political views?

The only people who say this are anti-intellectual babies who think the art from their childhood “wasn’t political” and they only think that because THEY were not political as children.

Art is just human expression, and helps convey feelings. If someone’s feelings are that the world sucks and stuff needs to change, more power to them Also are we talking explicit politics or subtext? Broader beliefs or specific political issues. Is Star Wars is a political film? It’s literally about fighting fascism. Is Alien a political film because it centers a woman?

I don’t really care tbh. I don’t need to know the politics of every artist I like.
