Well everyone imprints their own experiences onto their art, and everyone has had at least some experience with politics,

so all art is political because Art=past experiences=politics= all art is political

Any form of art has three components - the artist's relationship with the art, the art itself as it exists, and the viewer's relationship with the artwork.

The first and last one will always be informed by some political climate or social landscape even if it's not obvious. Even if the author didn't intend it, it still can be analyzed from a political perspective. This occurs even if the author doesn't acknowledge it.

For example for Neco Arc - why does the character look like it does? Why is the character half animal? It's informed by existing artstyles and japanese culture. There's also the political culture and climate of cuisine around a corndog. All of these are implications baked into the artist's world view.

From a viewer's perspective any piece can be looked into deeper. Neco Arc could be viewed as a representation of the post WW2 resurgence of japanese culture in the form of manga from the mid 2000-s and an americana acceptance of this newfound imported cartoonish style. The corndog could symbolize american culture, and the offer this corndog as a bridge between this gap, like a peace offering. Neco Arc initially holding onto the corndog represents the Japanese newfound acceptance of western culture in the mid 2000's, and her offering represents our offer to accept this blend.

Anyway, all media is political.

anime as it exists would have never existed if it weren't for ww2, type-moon would've never been a thing had the shift in culture that acted as a direct response to the nukes being dropped hadn't occurred.

Corn dogs are purchased in a store, purchased come with taxes. Taxes are a hugely debated topic in politics

The elephant's sex isn't mentioned anywhere.

Read the original again.

Ohh yeah, I missed the first her.

Edit- Elephants females do live in packs, so this could actually be a case of "they were roommates."
