It's a done deal. My local comic book store's western comics take up precisely one row of shelves at the absolute back end of the upper floor. It's been that way since 2015.
All through the 90's and 00's, it was the entire upper floor, save for the tiny manga section. Now the situation is completely reversed. Japan has utterly crushed western comics. People would rather read shit in black and white, backwards than read western comics. That's how shit western comics have been for the last 10 years.
You know what's also funny? More and more mangaka seem to be super secretive about their identities, even huuuugely succesful ones. Like the Jujutsu Kaisen dude and the person (I suspect to be a woman) who did Demon Slayer.
In Japan, it's just like... yeah, this person wants to be anonymous. In the West, idiots claim they must be genderfluid and non-binary and such.
SJWs project their obsessions onto the mediums they consume. It’s no more blatant than in the entertainment industry. If you were to study the US based on a tv show and targeted commercials you would be driven to the conclusion that half the country is black, half the country is gay or lgbtq, the majority of women are overweight while the men all have six packs. This is the projection that must be maintained we are “diverse”, we are “gender less”, and only women are allowed to be “beautiful at all sizes”.

Swept.
