Its a matter of time before japan falls. Definitely within the next 10 to 20 years. Chinese and western money/influence is trying hard to turn it into a woke toxic pool. Netflix and disney are trying to buy anime and manga rights.
They've been trying for years and failing miserably. It's a low cost industry to enter and with the internet the bottle neck of distribution isn't a thing anymore. Anyone can start a website and if their art is good enough go viral with no mainstream help. This is why they are trying to centralize the internet and control it.
Us being on this website is proof their plan is starting to fail. People are seeing them for what they are and starting to reject it.
If lurking in MMD/Doujinshi culture has thought me anything, then it is the fact that there is always a subset of creatives who will vehemently reject the english speaking gaijin.
There will always be that MMD modeler who will manually veto people via twitter DMs to check if he's actual japanese or a google translate gaijin in order to keep them away from their exclusive MMD models.
And for that I am glad they do because it means they do what western gamers should've done.
Gatekeeping.
This way I am sure their content, while may be described as inbreed, does remain inherently japanese and exotic.
