>Things aren't bad because they're political
Lol, the whole industry is hell-bent on pushing certain ideologies, and pushing certain ideas over the craft, story and writing. Hell, they gatekeep anyone out through bullshit purity testing and anyone right of soft-communism.
>The problem isn't that western writers can't write anything apolitical, it's that western writers can't write AT ALL.
Currently they can't write anything, and it's heavily because they are so politicized and quite frankly propagandized. Need the most diverse casts of people and genders, gender and race swapping, and representation is the secondary thinly veiled focal point over the plot/story itself. There's a reason manga and anime outsells over western slop, because people consume media to be entertained and some form of escapism, not to be lectured and preached to, and especially given subversive thinly veiled propagandized material.
