So, my American RF counterparts might have to help me out a little.
This is spurned on by a random YT comment of all things. It claimed that all meaningful art critiques they had ever seen was always from the left. Whilst the right (and alt right) never breaks down art properly.
I thought this was unfair, but then I honestly couldn’t think of any “loud” voices from the Right breaking down art properly. I mean I’m sure there’s some Conservative booktubers out there at the very least. I’m sure I’ve encountered conservatives on Goodreads discussions before. But being Australian, I can’t be certain.
But all the art critique I’ve ever encountered in my admittedly limited interactions with Americanstan voices (see online) comes from leftists. Kyle “Brows Held High” Kalgren. Cinema Snob, various “woke” Booktubers.
Meanwhile the closest I’ve seen from the right that I can think of are honestly alt right voices complaining about diversity quotas. I swear there was one that tried breaking down the “Mary Sue” only to get it so blatantly wrong, I assumed the guy was just trolling.
But surely politics only informs how we interpret art, not whether or not one is successful at properly analysing it?
So help me out here, what do my Americanstan friends think about this characterisation?
Can you show me some examples of “conservative art critique” to help balance this out for me a little?
