Kiwi Farms

This is something I've been coming to grips with over the last several years, and I've got a very specific example in mind, but I'd like to specify what I mean a bit better:

Creative works, and all that can possibly encompass, and how they were worsened when they were either injected with politics or you became aware of the politics that had always been there. Some examples of things I could think of off the top of my head that could fall into this could be music with political lyrics that you otherwise never understood when you were younger (ex. Many Gorillaz songs pre-Humanz) or the more stereotypical slide into terrible woke writing that many comics have had.

My main example, and what has been bugging me to some degree has been Welcome to Nightvale. The podcast itself was never amazing per se, but it was always a nice melancholic look into some parody of our world. Where things did get political, but never seemed quite hit-you-over-the-head with woke bullshit for the first 3-ish years. I had a bunch of shit going on in my life in that time span and it had been this thing I'd occasionally listen to escape, but the longer it went on the more it got overtly political and annoying with its messaging. I still enjoy the episodes pre-book (ep. 1-80 or so) but man did they get tedious and terrible to the point that I get a bad taste in my mouth every time I think of the show now. It feels like they tricked me to get invested to then shove in some intersectional shit into it.

I've got other examples, but this one bothers me the most.
