I am arguing the the value of artwork should be judged in relationship to the classics of its genre. Yes, art must innovate, but the innovation should not be artificially pushed by political agendas. There has been a huge trend of agents asking for “marginalized voices”, LGBTQ+ themes, and more for a leftist agenda. Also, there is an issue with Jewish nepotism.

Explain to me how this is crap? Most agents look to represent writers that serve their political agendas. They don't care about respecting the classics of the literary genres they claim to like.
I also share some pictures of classic Golden Age of Illustrators who gave foundation to the picture book genre, and likewise, I reference weird fiction classic writers too.
The fact is most agents don't care about analyzing and critiquing your work in light of the classics. They just care about serving some kind of globohomo agenda.

The way you separate artistic judgment from politics is by judging an artwork solely based on its own merits in relationship to the classics without letting political biases color your perception. In the case of weird fiction, the classics are Machen, Lovecraft, Smith, Poe, Blackwood, and much much more. In the case of picture books, it's mostly Golden Age illustrators like Crane, Potter, Nielsen, Rackham, and many more. You can judge quality without bringing in politics. It's not hard.

Also, I recommend buying book in pic related. It gives an idea of the classics that give foundation to the picture book genre.
It compiles many of the important illustrators like Walter Crane, Randolph Caldecott, Kay Nielsen, Beatrix Potter, Ernest H. Shepherd, Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac, and more. I find it odd how Louis Wain, Maxfield Parrish, and Fritz Baumgarten were not added though. I also have other favorite illustrators such as Racey Helps and Molly Brett, but I can understand why they weren't added.

That's not what I'm arguing. I'm arguing that artwork should be judged based on its own merits in relationship to the established classics. It doesn't have to be driven by partisan politics. However, yes, there is presently a huge leftist agenda with the majority of publishers, but I don't think doing the opposite of promoting a rightwing agenda would help. De-politicizing the industry and going back to the importance of the classics are what needs to happen.

Children's books are disproportionately affected by this kind of thing because they're inherently pedagogical and the target demographic (parents, teachers) typically sticks to mainstream publishing sources. There's also the fact that they're tied to the world of visual art, which has been completely fucked over by speculation by the super-rich.
I'm confident that the internet will eventually destroy the mainstream publishing industry and replace it with something better, but children's publishing is going to be one of the last holdouts of the old regime. I don't know what to tell you, other than that you should consider changing your strategy. You don't win a battle by charging the enemy where he's the strongest.

In my view, de-politicizing the industry is impossible. Radical leftists are entrenched in senior career positions throughout. They infiltrated it, hired more of their own, and are destroying the legacies of the big houses. Also, I think anything that's not progressive leftist is by default traditional and right-wing, although I mean that more in the cultural sense than political. Self-publishing is a decent alternative but it's a chaotic shit show. A new house must emerge.

I agree with everything you're saying except for two points:
>they're inherently pedagogical
This is false. Most of the classics I referenced were not pedagogical. These people tried to either portray a wondrous beauty and mystery in the natural world or convey mythical stories. Adults can enjoy them too.
>replace it with something better
It would be better than where the current publishing industry is heading, that's for sure, but it is far from ideal.

I see. I agree with you then. I think a moderate degree of traditionalism is necessary to be a good agent.
>it's a chaotic shit show.
I agree. Even with a decent social media following, self-publishing probably isn't good. It is indeed a chaotic shit show. I have an active social media following of 15k+ for my webcomic series, but I was only able to sell two items from my merchandise store. Based on this, I make the inference an ebook wouldn't sell well either.

The weird thing is this though. During the late 80s and early 90s, there were some good picture books from Jews. In particular, I really liked David Wiesner's Free Fall and Chris van Allsburg's Wreck of the Zephyr. However, in the modern era, I do see many Jewish literary agents asking for "underrepresented voices" and LGBTQ+ themes. I think something happened in the past one or two decades to make them very vengeful towards white men, and thus, they're a part of the issue of dismantling literary traditions now. The overwhelming majority of literary agents are Jews and self-loathing white women.
The literary industry was far from perfect in the late 80s and early 90s, but it was much better than now. There was still a sense of standards in relationship to the classics.

I think I understand your question now after thinking about it more. You have to look at the cause, not the effect. The cause is with what literary agents are asking for. Note, most publishers do not accept unsolicited submissions, but many literary agents do though they give privilege to those received via referral. The literary agents are pretty much the gatekeepers for this industry. Therefore, to a large extent, what they ask for is how the industry, itself, evolves.
Here is a fun exercise if you know any programming. Create a kind of web scraping bot or something like that, and make it go through QueryManager or other websites detecting keywords from literary agents. Determine the number of literary agents using leftist keywords such as "underrepresented", "LGBTQ", "African American", or other such commonly used words. It can give you a stronger idea of how leftism is becoming ubiquitous in the industry. They value politics over the actual spirit of the classics which established the literary traditions.
You can also do this to with common Jewish last names such as those ending in -stein and so forth.
