Just because art always has a political component, doesn't mean reviews and discussions of it need to focus on viewing it through a political lens.

Yes sure, art is political, but art is political in a different way in which a discussion forum might be said to be political, and it's entirely reasonable to wish for a discussion forum with a less political bent.

Meaning that the forum contains people who hold more of your own beliefs. You only notice the differing ones as political.
