Its also why the Western genre was forcefully killed off and basically nothing is ever made in the genre, except for "subversions" and "deconstructions" about it ending and talking about how evil the white outlaws were.
Because the Wild West, for whatever true reality it was, was filled to the brim with examples that showed that Indians, and Mexicans, were brutal subhuman savages worse than any White man could ever hope to be. The moment they had the upperhand or could fight back, they would massacre and destroy everything they saw.
The fact that scalping as a concept exists, and is something they regularly did to people alive, disproves any "peaceful" notion of them.
As one example, a movie called Hostiles is one of those deconstruction Westerns. It starts out showing the brutality of the Indians, and from then on, it's a never ending parade of "Indians good and oppressed" and "White man bad". It wasn't even subtle. Every single White character, other than Christian Bale and Rosamund Pike (the two main characters), range from bad to comically evil. It was made by people who hate Westerns, hate the West, and hate White people.
I was so thoroughly disgusted I've never entertained another newer Western made by Hollywood.
And what makes it even more comical is that the "Wild West" was filled to the brim with evil white guys doing awful shit. It was a lawless time and the draw of money/freedom/violence appealed to the worst of society. That's not even them making anything up.
Its just missing the point that the Indians were worse by a huge margin, and more than equally contributed to the cycle of violence that made both sides increasingly monstrous. Their brutality wasn't justified, they weren't "noble, proud warriors" defending themselves against invaders. They were Savages in every sense of the word and constantly provoked the responses that lead to their eventual near extinction.
This was always government propaganda because there were far too many people living peaceful lives without the government.
Here's a deep dive into the actual history of the wild west, specifically that violence and 'outlaws' were so exceptionally rare, that's why we remember them all by name. The way that these 'lawless' people left government behind and maintained a proper civilisation is genuinely remarkable. And that's why the entire period must be deconstructed by marxists.
A well known Anarchist argues that history is all a lie and that Anarchy totally worked and was wonderful guys?
I'd believe it was propaganda if anyone but Stefan Molyneux was trying to tell me about it, because he was a meme and a known grifting liar before 90% of the people here were paying attention.
It's comical watching "Dances With Wolves" when the calvary shows up. They are so cartoon over the top evil. They do almost everything bad except rape Costner. They even just shoot at wolves for fun. And they make it seem like McDonell's character was a better person because she was a slave.
Hollywood writers know that they can shape reality by putting a lie in front of people's eyes. Just make a thousand "Based on a true story" atrocity flic that incites feelings and that little lie becomes a big fact.
Well that, and the genre was done to absolute death for decades. That's not to say that the various resurgences weren't pretty damn cool, like spaghetti westerns and some of the more modern ones from the 80's-90's.
But there's only so much variety and creativity you can ultimately carve out of such a genre. And many modern attempts have been remarkably retarded with their leftist-influenced takes.
Conversely, I wish there was a greater volume of quality films that take place closer to the colonial era, and the early U.S. I've seen at least a few over the years, but it's still remarkably sparse. Especially anytime past the 40's-60's.
There was an expectation of heroism, family values, and pro americana in the genre, and pedowood wanted to make movies and shows about suburbanites and degeneracy instead.
Those resurgences were as you say, attempts to alter the formula towards leftism once it had been long enough for the positive expectations to have waned.
Reality shows are... not exactly a good example, since they're more ingrained with a particular format or structure than a strict setting. As for why they're still so rampant, a lot of that can be attributed to low production costs and a particularly effective appeal to women.
They've essentially overtaken what used to be reserved for sitcoms and gameshows. Low cost and minimal effort to make, minimal conflict, low effort on plot (generally), sometimes episodic in nature (due to minimal plot), etc. A fair bit more braindead than some of the better sitcoms in the past though.
Eh, I dunno. Might just be me. I found a lot of them extremely repetitive. More-so before the 70's. Jeremiah Johnson is one I rather liked though. And Wyatt Earp, starring Kevin Costner.
Sometimes people like a little bit of extra spice to their entertainment every now and then. Leftists push the envelope to the extreme though.
I'd say that was true, excepting that multiple other genres have been done to death over the decades and still don't completely die out.
For a comparison, WW2 shooters were done to death in gaming over the 90s/00s to the point where Modern Warfare was able to basically shake the world up by not being so. But they never stopped being made after, they just weren't in vogue, and scarcely a decade later they were being made in earnest again.
While there are plenty reasons why they'd be less popular, their complete absence is notable, just the same as the ones missing from any pre-WW2 America in general. Likely because it would be impossible to make without either going into Wrong Think or changing history so hard to make it fit Leftie Sensibilities.
There was also the problem with WW2 multiplayer that as time went on, it became impermissible to portray the Nazi side as a fully playable, equivalent option.
I think it depends a lot on how much variety you can actually get out of a particular genre or setting. More-so when it comes to film and TV shows. When it comes to games you have a much wider range of options available since you're not just offering a linear story, but gameplay, combat, interaction, etc.
I do agree though, the complete absence is a little bit curious. Especially when it comes to games. Might be too much of a hard sell for publishers and developers to take their chances on.
I don't have a lot I can offer unfortunately. Because like I said, they're exceedingly uncommon, and not a lot are really something I can strongly recommend. And I'm sure you've already heard of the ones I can name. IE, The Patriot, Last of the Mohicans, and... that's all I can remember off the top of my head.
There was also a little bit of a semi-dramatized documentary on Daniel Boone from the History channel that was kind of interesting. I unfortunately don't know the name, it was part of a series covering him, Davy Crocket, and Louis and Clark.
Edit: Think I found it. Not sure why the video is so dim/dark though, especially since it's on the History channel's own YT channel.

Seen Bone Tomahawk?
No, and I don't want to. I've already heard about that scene. I've seen enough gore crap posted on 4chan.

And yet, people never actually tired of watching them, pedowood got tired of making them: https://infogalactic.com/info/Rural_purge

Genre fatigue does not exist and has never existed. The existence of any number of reality shows proves this.
Survivor being one example.
Things becoming corrupted by suits, rent seekers, and commies doesn't mean the things themselv3s were passe

I would be interested in your recommendations in that genre. Thanks.
