I didn't come up with the idea, and I've been meaning to make a detailed post on it, but that's basically what I've been convinced was the problem with fiction for a while. The context I first saw it mentioned was comics and Manga. The creators entire life experience is such:
play vidya and read comics/manga
make friends who do the exact same thing
learn to draw/write in middle school
go to expensive art high-school
do literally nothing but make art and play vidya with other unbalanced art freaks
go to CalArts or similar to unlearn your craft
make 0 friends outside classes
get a referral to C tier studio copying the A tiers
make derivative art in the 1 style and subject matter you've taken the time to learn (because it was handed to you): GloboHomo
At no point did you grow or learn as a person. You are the personality handed to you by your helicopter parents at 12. You have nothing to say, so you say nothing in your works.
