Generally a lot of media tends to be dominated by Left/Progressive creators, mostly due to self selection, which seems to lead to a culture of most of the few right leaning ones tend to either hide it or play it down. However in this day where it seems a lot of media is going hard left, figured it would be nice to compile recommendations for those creations that are openly Right or Conservative leaning that can be supported financially.
Which I find particularly necessary since it's hard to find lists of this stuff in general beyond a few sparing recommendations. Who knows, with enough support maybe these works can be ascended from just the books/comics they tend to be locked to into bigger franchises. General idea would be to list stuff similarly aligned individuals could be giving their money to in order to support them.
Note this thread should focus more heavily on smaller franchise rather than media conglomerates by and large, bit wonky if there's like one right leaning person on something when all the rest within are hard left (though granted keeping their job may be a feat itself). Exceptions can be made if the big media work is based on something from a smaller work as needed.
By this same token this thread is focusing on the nature of the creators here and the works they made that you can recommend spending money on. Not works that you can see such themes in necessarily while the creator is otherwise politically silent on the matter, since that's a bit subjective by comparison.
Similarly while we can obviously list examples of past creators like Tom Clancy (Or say C.S. Lewis), the goal of the exercise should probably lean more towards still living creators, as the estates may not have the same leanings depending, particularly a few generations down the line. If you want you can even throw in crowd funders in here to get support for them, since that fits the general them of the thread as well.
Anyway that said, some obvious examples:
Books:
Grimnoir and Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia. Have these on Audiobook myself. Read through all of Grimnoir which I think is better overall, but later books in Monster Hunter International have turned around some of the earlier stuff I didn't like, such as the chosen one trope to raise it higher overall. I've got the core series on audio as well but haven't gotten a chance to run through the latest one yet, though will say one of the side books written by someone else I didn't like as much so ended up returning that one.
Overall both series are solid enough that I'd been considering branching out into his other books in genres I'm not as fond of by comparison, particularly since I'm trying to get into scifi stuff rather than this Urban Fantasy type of works.
I'm similarly partially through the Tom Clancy series which I'm liking more than I expected for a Political Thriller type of series, though I'm iffier on what I'm hearing on the later books which is why I've slowed down on those. Granted this kind of example isn't really what the thread should be focusing on but it's an edge case that can be thrown in if so desired.
Anyway that should do for a start I think. Feel free to post your on recommendations, preferably with links as well just to keep it easy to know what specifically you're referring to.
