Or for example I am skeptical of the BLM movement, but I saw a big mural the other day that had a huge cast of characters, not a single one of them white, and the obvious cultural-racial pride expressed in that felt good to see.

Or, to clarify all of this - when "I AM WOMYN HEAR ME ROAR" or "BLACK LIVES" or any other group is obviously felt, but is expressed through pure creation and not through a sense of war, that feels good and I love it even if I'm not part of the group being celebrated

It's the difference between art and bad propaganda. I don't like any heavy handed messages where the message is more important than the art. It feels manipulative instead of a sincere expression. Same reason I viscerally dislike tokenism.

I remember a conversation with a woman, a child of the depression. She argued against the ERA in the 70s because she believed that women were better served by being equal and acting equal than they were by demanding equality. TLDR; Show by doing/being rather than whining.

Yes this is the difference between people creating to express themselves and people creating to make you submit to their ideological world view.
