Escapism and censorship are different things and I think they were suggesting the former. Turning your head off for a while after a day of politics or activism is very important for my mental health sometimes. As I understand them, that's what they meant at least. If not, meaning they're for strictly prohibiting political things in any way I would agree that this would be bad though!

You're giving them way too much credit on not being reprehensible pieces of shit. The escapism argument is always horseshit masking bigotry.
