I was thinking about how these freaks tend to be shitty writer and came up with some explanations. Sorry for making it TL;DR
-Their stories tend to be more simplistic, bland and less creative because they refuse to write anything that can violate their ideology as they are pathologically obsessive with it due to extremism. Diversity hire bullshit which includes extremist staff pandering was also suggested as a reason due to the poor staff quality that results from this practice.
-They love shoving their extremist ideology into everything, which is why several of their stories contain negative depictions of whites and men, with the nature of said depictions being comparable to a neo-nazi's depiction of Jews. They also tend to be full of other themes designed to pander to their kind as well as references to their conspiracy theories that are depicted as if they are all true. An example of this would be the infamous Mafia III, which contains several instances of regressive leftist themes and a reference to the regressive left's "alt-right" conspiracy theory in the form of a Klan like org known as the southern union, which it's leader denies on their radio show.
-They're prone to making Mary Sues and turning preexisting characters into them like in the case of Marvel character Carol Danvers, which was so disastrous that people now mix up the character's name with the joke nickname Carl Manvers. This is because they think that depicting a character who's supposed to be "diverse" with any real flaws violates their ideology, and they have responded to the criticism of their characters being Mary Sues by declaring the term to be hate speech.
-Their pathological extremism often distracts them from proper writing, resulting in writing issues such as the fact that it was never really explained how in the sequel trilogy that some imperial warlord in the outer rim was able to successfully build a massive planet integrated death star successor that is powerful enough to obliterate multiple planets rather than something more realistically powerful lore-wise for their factions size, and intimidate at least half the galaxy into surrendering to their rule while somehow being able to establish and keep that rule when said superweapon got destroyed in a small time frame after it's first firing.
If there are any other notable issues or corrections you may have then feel free to suggest them
PS: I think it would be funny if someone turned against the regressive left because they got falsely declared a troll and wrongfully banned from some community for calling Carol Danvers Carl Manvers by mistake, just because of the joke nickname's popularity among the anti-regressive movement.
The other main reason is the lack of competition. You don't grow as a human if you have everything handed to you based on your race/sex/mental illness. They are bad writers because they were never told they needed to improve. The only way you get better is through external criticism.
Thanks for suggesting this, I added it to the post.
They are bad writers because
a person is a collective
true liberation is the dissolution of all differences of people into 1 classless society
everything else is slavery
everything a person does is a class and to advance a class
everything a Marxist does is for the collective - aka shill hard
The thing is alot of these stories and what not can be fixed if they actually paid attention to story structure and themes rather than shoving in ideology and lecturing their audience.
For example, Batwoman. Yes, designed in the 90s as a gay icon as said so by it's creator and made even more cringe by the CW show. So how do you fix her? Well, take the premise, female batwoman who's gay but don't draw attention to it. Maybe have her leaving a lover's house once in awhile but it's really about her cape crusading. Then suddenly, BAM. Villain finds out who she is and leaks it to the media. They eat that shit up, Batwoman gay, she's an icon, blah blah. But to her, she just wants to keep being a hero, not this icon the media is trying to make her out to be. You can turn the story about how the media manipulates public perception and how even villains can seem heroic when painted in the right light.
No cringe Red Skull insert, no shoving of politics, just a storyline for the modern time. They don't have that skill though because of their constant need to virtue signal.
Minor correction here, Batwoman wasn't designed in the 90s as a gay icon, she was retconned into a lesbian in her 2007 reboot.
Batwoman never was a lesbian up until DC went woke in the mid-aughts. And after turning her into a lesbian, it was literally the only thing that DC could focus on as her character arc since she had nothing else of interest, and the only memorable stories about her arc was about her lesbianism, further proving AbleistSL's point that woke retards have no clue how to write characters outside of agenda-pushing propaganda.
The core issue is an utter lack of empathy.
SocJus types are incapable of writing a compelling opponent because the thought that "the other side" might have some merit to it isn't one they can entertain, so whomever the antagonist is always comes across as some cartoonishly-evil caricature, impossible to take seriously.
Marxists cannot have empathy as most know it. Everything a Marxist does is class-based.
Marxist empathy represents a class. A Marxist cannot empathise with "you", they empathised with "your class".
Yes, everything is a stereotype to a Marxist, and "a" person is guilty of crimes they did not commit, because they refuse to believe "a" person can exist.
The epitome of this are those Star Trek STD scenes where the female officer is talking down to the white dude like he's a retarded child. It's all I've seen of that show but wow was it something else.
"He" is not a retarded child. The female officer is a class, and talked to another class collectively, of which they have class conflict.
Of course, wokism is the race parody of Marxism, and wokies never read anything, so woke characters just sound like racist doucebags for no real reason.
It is written poorly because they use it as a validation of their own belief system rather then some lived experience.
Lets use the J.P / Red Skull story. The author put J. P. words in the mouth of Red Skull, it made the Red Skull look good and yet for SJW types they see it as validation that J.P. is a super nazi. For them to comprehend the notion that this is wrong would mean to reevaluate everything in their lives.
"Look, I'm not here to write, I'm here to lecture and moralize to you cis scum!"
This.
They fundamentally misunderstand the idea of entertainment. When I read a book, watch a movie, play a game, etc. I want to have a good time. Have fun. Feel like something interesting is happening.
They don't want to give that to me. They want to stick it to the enemy. They want murderous revenge fantasies for the things they imagine others doing to them. They want to spit on the people they believe rule the medium they use.
Like there is some pudgy, unpleasant feminist fantasy author who literally wrote a fantasy book where men are just existing so women can sadistically rape them, graphically described.
Does she sound like a nice, healthy person who wants you to have a good experience with her books? She thinks she is profound and is "showing men how it is to be a woman" or some such fucking bullshit, but deep down she is just a fucked up, angry, bitter, sadistic bitch.
Same for N. K. Jemisin. She simply hates white people and also men. She literally started a "challenge" where you were supposed to not read any book by white men for a year. Like do fuck off. She keeps winning Hugos every fucking year, because the beta white men organising it just want to prove they are the one good men.
To a Marxist, there is no entertainment, there is only the struggle of liberation.

Works of Karl Marx 1844
On The Jewish Question
Written: Autumn 1843; First Published: February, 1844 in Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher;
If the sequel trilogy had been Admiral Daala being her usual rabid "kill all rebels" self, I'd have been fine with that.
Talking about SJW fiction. Im asian and its annoying i've been seeing so called "asian" or "insert asian ethnic group here " saying some SJW things actual asia asian wouldn't say and then turns out that its actually blasians going like "my fellow asians or fellow * insert asian ethnic group here* should stop being so racist with their art" and BS like that. or some black person from the west trying to claim to be japanese cause they currently live in japan, insulting some aspect of their culture or of anime that only the western twitter sjw gets upset about.
Its basically "my fellow asian people" shit
Unrelated, but what are your thoughts on the regressive left trying to promote antiwhite racism in the Asian population?
Hate it. Its based on lies and trying to manipulate us whilst ignoring every other instance and even defending attacks against asians, if its not by whites, because it was inconvenient to the narrative .
If asians get manipulated by the woke left it will also destroy asian culture of common sense, self reliance and pride and replace it with weak virtue signaling and promoting neo marxism that will bite us and is already going after us .
No, the reason why is the same reason why the Nazis did it to Jews. Dehumanization for later escalation of tactics. The only good thing is, when they were caught after the war, the people creating the anti-Jew propaganda were executed for war crimes.
Does it count as a call for violence when you're hoping they get executed for war crimes because of a legal trial with precedent for this exact event?
Dehumanization is the direct consequence of Marxist class-based morality.
How can "a" person's rights exist when it's a class?
The reason is much simpler than that. Stories are written to match the author's ideology. Leftist ideology is incompatible with real life. We are very good at detecting lapses and inconsistencies in our works of art, so we reject it right away.
Stories written by non extremist individuals with ideologies based in fact are more likely to be apolitical.
The regressive left's ideology is inherently extremist and delusional, hence the higher likelyhood of extremist themes and plot lines.
Hiring shitty writers based on diversity quota and also their politics. Never wanting to write well or creatively but rather trying to force a story to fit in to their ideology and to preach instead.
The left also hates flawed characters or stories that have "unsettling elements" because it could potentially "normalize" it in their eyes and readers will associate with it.
For example: according to a leftist if a character makes a remark about gays in the book or a joke, that character must immediately be questioned, shot down, or somehow made to see the errors of their way.
Or, if let's say you are writing a fantasy novel heavily based off the Roman Empire(hell, it could just be a fantasy novel based in the roman empire.) A leftist will tell you not to include any mention of slavery and if there is slavery in the world the MC must be opposed to the idea and that the simple existence of slavery means the novel's main focus has to be the abolition of slavery. They're so deranged to think if someone is reading a book where there is slavery that the readers will come to think that either slavery is ok or be completely unable to relate to anything that is modern society and won't read it.
I've seen the biggest push now is for trans MCs and how they should never be misgendered ever, even by villains who hate them because you need to show villains who might otherwise be murdering and torturing people have "basic human decency" and know it is never ok to misgender.
Leftists are shitty writers for one simple reason:
The concept of humanity is completely void inside them. Just look at the ideologies they support, advocate and force to us: They want us to be uniform. By that, I mean to be uniformly heartless, soulless and inhuman, just like themselves.
brain disease
Excellent post, and accurate.
Their ideology spits in the face of: the natural world, logic, reason, self-consistency. Their values are inverted and demonize strength while holding patently false, illogical things like equality as core values.
The simplest, most all-encompassing answer you can give to the question is that it's because **they are all, practically without exception, conciously, deliberately, explicitly setting out from the get-go to write political propaganda for their ideology. ** ANY writer that does this, regardless of what their ideology is, is going to write kooky bullshit that is divorced from reality, slanted, and generally unrelatable to the unindoctrinated.
To quote King of the Hill: 'Can't you see you're not making christianity better? You're just making rock and roll worse!"
'B-but Harry Potter was successful!', Someone might say.
Harry Potter is not a 'left wing' narrative. Harry Potter is 'school kids beat hitler' - a story that would appeal to almost any westerner born after 1945. J K Rowling wasn't sitting there surrounded by books about Marxist theory when she wrote it. She hadn't marinated her brain in leftist talking points beyond the casual media landscape of the day. She wrote Star Wars with kid wizards at school. She did not write a political diatribe disguised as a story. She wrote a completely milquetoast 'hitler was bad' story, as a person who had grown up in post-war Britain. That leftists latched onto it so heavily says more about leftists that it does about her. As does their about-face the second she had the gall to admit that she doesn't believe biological males can ever be 'real women'.
Great post. Also look at the life experiences of great authors of the past. Tolkien was partly influenced by his WW1 experience as well as CS Lewis. One of my favorites Robert Heinlein led an interesting life as well.
Leftists of yesteryear were actually really great writers. But they had a better culture to mooch off of and that required better schooling and more life experiences. Most Leftists are so sheltered and child like, and everyone gets a trophy, that they just don't have the skill and only churn out fan fiction with propaganda and some mary sue wish fulfillment. Leftists can't really build *hit, just tear it down, and we're running low on culture to destroy. Hence them going for minor comic characters like Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl. They are also all afraid, they know how easily the mob turns on people, they've been part of it, so yeah, they don't dare write flaws into minorities or women, or depict White guys being great, they have to be loaded with flaws.
they're fucking boring. that's the problem. they don't have the spark of life. they're not fully human.
James Lindsay explains most of here:

If you read the stuff like Marx's "On the Jewish Question", then a summary of Marcuse and CRT, it's quite clear that "imagining a person is a class" is the basis of the leftist's love of conspiracy theories.
Karl Marx > Antonio Gramsci > Herbert Marcuse > Comahee River Collective's Critical Race Theory > Kimberlé Crenshaw > Tumblr/Twitter illiterates > wokism
Bring on the downvotes, but this is mostly nonsense and a comforting delusion. Most popular writers are leftist. This has many explanations, including: gate-keeping, groupthink, peer-pressure, economic status, shifting political narratives and of course, the simple fact that literature and fiction tend to appeal to people who are on the left more than the other way around (for reasons that are irrelevant to this discussion).
Unless you're into some very specific niches, most of the work you like and cherish was written by leftists, full stop. As the overton window slides leftward at ever-increasing speeds, and social media echochambers make people lose their minds, it is quite likely that the talented artist you remember as reasonable and moderate is now a proper leftist ideologue in 2021. Probably an insufferable asshole, too. Now sure, often this "progressivization" process makes them worse artists, who do display some of characteristics discussed in OP. But not always and pretending like there's some hidden league of "true moderate artists" out there, who are the real architects of American popular culture, is nothing but a lie.
Now, pay attention: this is different from grift "artists" like Ta-Nehisi Coates that haven't actually produced much work of value (if at all) and are simply carried by social justice or are politically-savvy opportunists. I'm talking about the real juggernauts here. The vast majority are at the very least left-of-center.
I do not know if what you are saying is true or not but stop using "full stop", I hate that. Most people writing have been on the left, I was on the left. Being on the left a decade ago is the equivalent of a alt-right today. I consider the older works as based, cause they are, even if the writer joins some woke movement today.
If you separate past and present versions of the writers as different persons and judge them by todays standards the non-leftist works are considerably superior, even if the writer is the same. I've yet to see a work be improved by woke/SJW mind sets.
Edit: I'm re-watching House, I'm certain that the writers were leftists and maybe now they are SJWs but the show today is so based, it is literally making fun of todays SJWs.
I think you're missing the point that OP is trying to make. He's referring specifically to the woke intersectional idpol SJW flavor of leftism, which is different than socialist non-SJW leftism, and different than basic bitch liberals, and other ideological flavors on the left.
You're right, most artists are left wing. However, the criticism that most people here have is with the SJW idpol crap. That is the cause of most of the stuff people here are critical of, like Mary Sues, race-swapping, in your face ideological lecturing, etc.
I didn't miss that point, see my last paragraph. My point is that most of the boomer-era artists (and even the still-living ones of one generation prior) have drifted left enough that they basically hold the same opinions as the SJW leftists and they are about as unhinged. Worse, the grifters like Coates are self-aware. They know that this is all performative. They act differently behind closed doors. On the other hand, many of the previous-generation artists got genuine TDS a couple years ago, so their lunacy is the real deal.
Someone should come up with, like, a society. But they're all women. And witches.
