Anyone else think that hollywood going to shit and the rise of popularity of foreign entertainment is unironically causing America to lose power and standing globally?

I mean seriously, everyone and their dog likes to talk about how the US has more 'soft power' than any other wannabe superpower nation, and how that 'soft power' helped them achieve goals globally. Maybe that was the case back in the 80s-00s when America was making movies and other things that people actually wanted to watch, but now every movie is a vehicle for some flavor of insane Californian politics and it must be hugely alienating to foreign viewers.

I unironically think that it's partially responsible for shit like Putin invading Ukraine, like maybe in past years when people said he was more level headed it was because he could see himself and Russia learning to coexist with America, but indoctrinating 5 year olds to be trannies and the rampant destruction of anything traditional was a bridge too far. I mean it must be demoralizing as all hell to see the rival nation that your nation lost the Cold War to turn into a disgusting degenerate shithole.

Everyone plays Genshin today. Few more games like that and a subsect of normies will probably love China the same way weebs went crazy for Japan. Western shows, movies and video games are getting replaced by korean and japanese products. Genshin, Elden Ring, vtubers, seemingly unstoppable rise of anime and manga. US soft power is the weakest in decades.

Copying isn't stealing, the original still exists
I cant believe I have to type this, I can't believe you even wrote that, what is this 2001?

I suppose I might lie disingenuously too if I felt my entire lively-hood was going to be taken away legally and there was nothing I could do about it.
It's too bad, you are both too stupid to know how ai imagery works and too upset to realize it isn't anywhere near as good enough to replace anyone.
