All entertainers are awful politically. We pay them to entertain us, not be politicians.

If nobody watched movies or shows, they would be jobless.

Practically speaking almost anything political these days so it's hard not to. Especially cause much of that entertainment in centered in the USA. And when POTUS starts randomly Tweeting about some celebs it's kinda hard for them not to be political.

I think the main issue people have with it is when entertainers are out of touch and still think they can relate to average folk.

Entertainment and politics are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they often are quite entangled, and always have been.

I don't need a comedian or a musician telling me their political views. They should tell me about their new movies/shows and music. I don't give a fuck what their view on the current socio-economic political state is or whatever the fuck else. That's not what they're paid for. Unless it's specifically a product about politics, at that point, people know what to expect.

Again, art can, and often is, political.

Moreover, they should do whatever the fuck they want, they do not exist only to please GameZedd01. Unless you watch their movies, you don't pay them either, no one cares how you think they should behave. Being famous is a form of power and if they feel like using this power given to them, well so be it, who's gonna stop them ?

Art is political. Just a fact of life.

Yeah but they are also their own people with opinions about different subjects. If you pay them for entertainment then watch the entertainment and ignore the politics. Not that hard.
