What does that even mean?

If you're anti-death penalty and anti-gun, be ready to write shoot-em'-up action?
If you're a Christian, be ready to write the theocratic dystopian story?
If you're socially conscious, be ready to write the ethnic stereotypes the studio has agreed upon?

Artists aren't just artists. They're people first and foremost. You couldn't ask Alan Moore to turn around and write a graphic novel about how awesome Nixon and the Bushes were. You can't make Sylvester Stallone appear in a movie about how we need to abolish the death penalty and eliminate guns from society. Forcing someone to work on the opposite end of the spectrum is how you wind up with crap like Disney's version of the Lone Ranger. They took an atheist director who specializes in free-spirited antiheroes and dark content and gave him a bright natured law enforcement officer created by conservative Christians. The result was two hours of Gore Verbinski making fun of the protagonist and making sure the audience was just as bored watching it as as he was filming it.
