Tim Minear quotes:

Horror is about dreams and heightened states. It really is about taking away the logic on some level and getting right to the emotion of something.

The truth is that sometimes art may not exactly reflect one's personal politics, but the story, the drama, the thing you're trying to say, might want to go in a certain direction, and while it may seem like it has resonance with things that are happening topically, you kind of want the world you're creating to have its own internal logic.
