You can see this play out in real time with the whole "AI art" debate

@WoodshopHandman We are also broadly prevented from having access to an audience, but you're right; it's important to acknowledge reality

@KarlDahl This is about art in general though, not political things like Murdoch Murdoch or moonman

@WoodshopHandman Understood that with your initial comment. Without being too specific, let's just say that I know from personal experience and the experiences of friends that filters have long been in place (i.e. 1920s) very, very early in all aspects of the arts to discourage anybody who is even vaguely non-leftist from getting music gigs, slots in art schools, in galleries, film, tv, etc.
The filtering isn't even about the content of the work; it's done through simple conversation and there are gatekeepers literally everywhere
To your point, though, explicitly far right wing art of any type has a *very* limited audience, but again, I feel that much of that is due to the fact that even vaguely non-leftist art is literally limited, and has been for generations. There are niche holdouts in, for example, painting, with historical and military art and retro folk art, but they have also been gaying that up for a long time, too
Finally, the average person in the current year is a complete Philistine, but again, this is also at least partly the result of a culture war that has been waged for over 100 years
