Write Away

Nothing is apolitical. Sometimes things look that way, but only because they fit into the way they they're expected to be. Deviations from the main political atmosphere are simply more noticeable.

Moral judgements are what make a story. Even things like "liars get caught" or "murdering your king will damage your mind" are moral judgements, but no one is calling out Macbeth for being political. (Even though they should, but that's another history lesson.)

I think the main problem with preach fiction is.... it tends to come off like the author doesn't care about the characters. They're just there to make a point rather than be people. And that's bad writing whether or not you agree with the point.

It's a point made in science circles, especially the social sciences - /nothing exists outside of bias/. We cannot separate ourselves from our perspective. We simply do not have access to objective reality, much less how we interpret that reality. (One person's goddess figure is another person's pornography.) All you can do is acknowledge the bias, and acknowledge that everyone else has their own justifiable views as well.
