I think most of them are well aware of what it means. But instead of actually debating the issue, they have us running around trying to clarify what we mean when they know damn well what we mean.
That isn’t meant to be an insult to anyone, just an observation.
That's actually a debate tactic, called "Gish Gallop". The idea is to throw out as many arguments as possible, so that your opponent gets over-whelmed trying to counter argue bullshit.
I'm fine with politics in art, in games. I'm just not going to play one with politics I don't like. MAN THE FUCK UP.
Refuse to play games that have shit in them. STOP PIRATING. You're still fostering the ecosystem by sustaining the popularity! Don't play Borderlands with your buds.
Don't watch videos on it. Don't read articles on it. Vote with your wallet, your mouse, your time, and your eyeballs!
I’ve stopped entertaining this stupid conversation with disingenuous leftist trash. I love politics in my media now - just not their politics. Anyone who mocks, disparages, or destroys left-wing ideology in his or her media? They get my money.
Honestly, I've always cringed at my own politics in media as well. However, if I have to cringe at politics in media, I'd rather it be conservative rather than leftist-bluehair shit.
It goes back to when someone looks upon a great creative work and remarks "Now, this is Art!" Clearly they are stating the obvious. Of course it is art. But the implication is that the art is good or exceptional to receive that remark. When we say "Keep politics out of X." We mean, keep your low level surface level read and its corresponding ill-informed utopian solutions you thought up in grade school to yourself. Do it good or go home. They opt to do it bad and complain when no one cares they are hacks.
Hard to say. Some works may feel timeless because we're so far removed from their original political critique.
That being said, I feel like we're in a era of extra special low effort, due to the Internet and other rapidly multiplying means of getting things made cheaply.
It's so on the nose, I almost wonder if it's parody.
Then I see the show is called "Magical Girl Friendship Squad" and remember subtlety doesn't exist anymore.

This is more akin to a motte and bailey, with them tricking us into bashing our heads against the motte.
The Gish gallop?
Seems more like pilpul to me actually
That actually seems to be exactly it. Making people argue over the argument instead of what the argument was actually about.
In a surprising move, none of those characters are white. They're given olive skin so we know they are the baddies.

After all, conservatives understand liberals better than liberals understand conservatives, so their writings will likely reflect that as well.

That's just lazy. South Park did a Jabba joke much better, and in a more appropriate manner to a more deserving personage.
Modern day "art" has me wondering how subtle older works were with tackling political themes.
