semi related to my topic but

a problem in general with writing that can happen is some times you CAN give a message you did not mean to

you could give a team of progressive writers actors directors and still stumble into a rather messed up right wing message sometimes things just go wrong in the writing process you dont think of the implications

this is why its a good idea to have a 3rd party look over your story

i think people should be free to create the art they want to without fear of retaliation because of possibly misconstrued political statements where none may have existed in the first place

i had an adjunct professor in an east asian art history class that was one of many expat chinese artists that had fled the country during a purge of art

an oft given example of an artist that had been arrested was one that painted a landscape of mao standing on a cliff side overlooking china

when it was painted, it was considered to be a masterpiece, perfectly capturing mao as this great man who cared for all of china

then years later, a critic decided it was actually depicting mao as this aloof and uncaring man that considered himself above the people of china

so they had the artist put in a prison camp til he died
