I wish anime never got popular because I’m so sick of seeing posts like these giving it a bad rep.

They'll fucking win against anime in the end. It will take a while, but I think they'll win. But that's alright. They'll take enough away from people who just want to be left alone, that the cycle will repeat.
Also, bitch needs to take Studio Ghibli out of her mouth. Ghibli is great, you don't get to use it to shit on all the entirety of anime just because it might not be as good as the masterpieces.
99% of the trashiest of trash anime is still better than most of modern Western entertainment, and her Pokimane-looking ass can sit the fuck down.
They'll win against anime, but anime is only a fraction of its own industry. Its the most front facing part of the manga/lightnovel/doujin treadmill, but its also the most commitment heavy and costly. They can subvert it, but they'll never be able to stop all those other forms because the barrier for entry is so low.
So it doesn't matter if they win. Most of the same stories will get told, you'll just need to read it instead of watch it. And the sheer mass scale of scanlaters mean they can't even control the flow of those to Western countries.
