All literature is some kind of propaganda

Could you explain more your reasoning on that? Because when I think of, say, A Cricket In Times Square, or Signs of the Zodiac, I can't think of any political or social message they're pushing.

Propaganda is a pretty specific idea and I don't think every author is trying to persuade people to some position through their work.

I'm finding it hilarious and telling that this is where you disapprove of an author getting excited that you can use fiction to communicate their real world values.

Telling of what? That they find it gross and creepy to get more badly needed representation, only for it to be solely to satisfy a white author's desire for revenge? (And yes, I know of the Tumblr post OP is speaking of, and it was by a white person.)

I don't think every author is trying to persuade people to some position through their work.

-- maybe not consciously, but i'd argue that every author's work is filtered through their own perspective and what they believe is true about the world they live in. this will reflect in what they choose to write about, how they choose to portray it - and what they choose to omit.

there's a reason people analyse literature.

I do somewhat agree with the idea that "all art is inherently conservative or progressive" (at least in the historical and not political sense)

Does the work fall into the expected and "traditional" patterns of the time? (A cookie cutter romance novel, a typical explosions and punching action movie, etc.) Conservative.

Does the work challenge or subvert the expected and common tropes of the time? (satires, twist endings, etc.) Liberal

[anonymouslyyours]

Above anon covered your first question pretty well i.e. you can perpetuate propaganda unconsciously just by presenting your world view as factual so I'm just going to say the attitude OP is complaining about happens in a wide range of topics so to single it out in one demographic is eye-roll inducing. But I wasn't aware this was referencing a single post.
