Reaction: mixed.
Why: fruit of a poisoned tree.
Elaboration: you want art promoting good things to be sincere, because if it's not sincere, then it's not promoting anything, like Disney's "kinda diversity-aimed" actions toward Star Wars ; art is sincere when it's not pushed ; when something is promoted by an agency, it's pushed, even if those making decisions and those making said art share the idea, the former give the latter an order and make it their job.
Context\apology: I think the same about Soviet propaganda art, it may be promoting something good sometimes, but that effect of hierarchy can be felt ; or a few recent movies made about the Armenian Genocide, all intended as a political message about, well, leaving said process unfinished and thus are not interesting as art ; or about FOSS propaganda with almost no effect, if someone remembers those videos about Linux Mint and those FOSS bloggers like Nixie Pixel, that kinda stuff.
What are you on about?
You come across as having an ugly agenda yourself.
Which specifically would that be? Surely you can explain that if you can evaluate my "agenda" as ugly.
Maybe what I wrote meant literally what I wrote. That an agenda is always ugly. People who want to fix the world via right kinds of propaganda seem to dislike that.
