only if the ideology is explicity spelled out as part of the art itself. Flight of the Valkyries devoid of historical context is just a pretty tune. "Flogging the Cargo" is inescapably about the slave trade and garbage pseudo-science

Also, being ?sarcastic dicks? is a terrible excuse for producing reprehensible content (misogyny, nazism etc.), but that won?t stop me from enjoying some Brutal Death like Gorgasm or whatever.

intentionally sarcastic content meant to convey the opposite of what is portrayed is satire, no?
