I skimmed the thread and Im not even sure the actual point but if the question generally is "why isn't there rw art" here are some passing hypotheses:

1. Autism (the bad kind)

2. Art is as ill-defined as love and so it often jumps between intrinsic beauty (a sunrise) and hypothetical (deep plotline, make u think media) and rw'ers generally like/make former over latter. we don't *talk* about the former because there's nothing to be said.

3. There's definitely a control/power factor. It's like asking why there aren't any Islamic star-and-crescent insignias at the Vatican. If my game/movie/painting can't be publicly available then either it's super niche or I just don't make it. even completely apolitical stuff like fnaf got canned when the creator was ousted as a Trump supporter.

4. Cultural pressures are a big factor. Political leanings of an individual are heavily influenced by the politics of the parents and peers, so an artistically inclined rw'er is much more likely to be steered away from it (by parents *and* the industry) and towards labor and other activities. My own brother was an outcast with art and had to pursue other stuff because nobody's hiring. So the problem reinforces itself; no demand makes no supply makes no demand
