I believe pretty strongly that art doesn’t need an audience. Plenty of art is political or provocative just for its own sake, without any relevant discourse or target demographic in mind. As a writer on tumblr I write things that I know I will enjoy writing and with very little stakes attached–if anyone decides they wanna engage with my work, that’s fine.
Most larger entities, collectives, and labels though–they create art with the intention to sell it. This is not a bad thing or a detraction of that art, it is simply a reality that even the weirdest corporate media has a hook by design. The marketing alone for a new movie, game, or series can tell you right away who the product is for.
