He said the intentions behind art matter to him. I said if it's good art, it's good art, regardless of why it was made.
An old episode of The West Wing that we recently watched had a nice line by Laura Dern as a US Poet Laureate. She said...

You think I think that an artist's job is to speak the truth. An artist's job... is to captivate you for however long we've asked for your attention. If we stumble into truth, we got lucky, and I don't get to decide what truth is.
 I found that very pithy.
