The "everything's political" line is kind of dumb. Yes, people put themselves into their writing, and you can infer some things about them as a result. But when people say "political" they mean "politically sensitive." It's almost impossible for a story not to have some vague implications related to political topics but it's entirely possible not to have sensitive, hot button material.
>>81868135 I agree, and I will like to add that because of this entire debate the collective known as the media forgot about something called implications/subtlety If people tell you that your story doesn't have a point because you didn't state it directly you kinda have to bite the bullet and go for the preachy route.
