Is not all art a form of seduction, though? All of it fundamentally asks you to accept the creator's worldview in some way or another and serves as a conduit of its propagation. Isn't building up walls against seduction by art a way of being closed off from opinions contrary to one's own? Or are you only saying that we should ask ourselves twice whether we want to grow toward the ideology presented by a work?
Or is this sort of a twilight realm version of Tumblr's adamant insistence that one must never enjoy anything Problematic? :p Or merely an anti-Aestheticism idea, rejecting the notion that art can ever be looked at in neutral terms of beauty?
