I cannot separate art from artist, as with commitments, everybody's got a pontification of it. I'll say it's certain vendors' neutrality.
Fiction ain't directly political. The truth holds in the indirection.
Essays, editorials are. With no artifice. Direct confrontations can overlap, not drive the theme within the fiction.
They are always there, those who pontificate avoiding dramatizing/controversy is itself an dramatisation. Accepting a cold defeatism of entertainment that could be the lay like that. Or, beyond the amusement, there's the artifice, along with action.
That is, what commitment ought to show. With no apology. To the audience with tension. To that insufficient bread and circus. The mysticism that self-contradicts.
I semi-agree with Bertolt Brecht about political illiterates, by the way, the only problem with that is that they deliberately don't read, which is counter to it all.
