Assuming this is real (it's not) the art teacher might possibly be right in saying dial it back. Subtlety and nuance are great in art. People like to interpret artists meaning (even if it's pretty obvious). If they're anything like the art teachers I've had they were familiar with feminism and trying to help the student grow as an artist.

I'm happy to see you're not talking in the 3rd person anymore though.

The greatest work of art ever created was made by writers who think subtext is for cowards. It's called Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. It's about a cyborg ninja who turns fascists into human confetti. It tackles fundamental themes of human agency from the point of view of nature, nurture, culture, and identity. It deconstructs and then reconstructs the concept of free will while criticizing the military industrial complex and entire entirety of conservative ideology. The final boss of the game is a United States senator who wants to "make America great again" and you rip out his fucking heart after spending an hour debating political philosophy with him.

At this stage, I hope you're annoyed. I'm angry as hell, and I have no time for bottom feeders that can't look up. You should turn your annoyance into anger and fear, because the truth is, everyone should feel that way. Don't worry though; when fascism fucks up your life, I won't even bother saying "told you so."
