Contributor vs. Content

Throughout all of Inside Out, individuals are censored and banned from producing their own ideas. I couldn't help wondering what it was they were writing. From what we can see in the text, radical TV shows, socialist novels, and other forms of pro-Communist media were not what the blacklisted authors were fighting for. No doubt it was there, but far more mundane texts were usually in question. I find this an interesting perspective to examine the censorship the blacklist executed. Unlike much of the censorship I think of as common today (Harry Potter and Grease) the blacklist was a defensive censorship. In fear of what the blacklisted authors COULD say, and the politics they MIGHT inject into their work, they were prohibited from sharing any work. In cases like the Harry Potter banning, while no concrete evidence of its effects was available, it was the direct content being questioned. Very infrequently was JK Rowling's character called into question.
