Social Question
Does everything need to have a political message?
I was reading an article about how didacticism has taken over various art forms, especially comedy. It’s no longer enough that something be funny, beautiful, or entertaining, it also has to be sufficiently “woke”. It has to have some kind of political lesson (read: commentary on Trump) in it.
Maybe this affects people of my generation more, but is anyone else sick of political messages in entertainment? I don’t need every show or movie to be “woke” and have timely responses to current events. Even if I agree with the political message, I don’t want it there. And if you don’t agree, then you’re just going to be put off the show/movie/routine entirely.
Do you use entertainment to get away from politics or do you expect political messages in your comedy routines and movies?
