I mean…it’s not exactly our fault if foreign media isn’t nearly as popular as Hollywood. Anime is slowly catching up, though.
Reread their post, they didn't say it was Hollywood's fault for being successful. It's Hollywood's fault for the "AMERICA NUMBER 1" sentiment shown in every movie, aka propaganda.
Is it not okay for Bollywood movies to celebrate Mumbai, or for Japanese movies to celebrate unique Japanese culture / condemn Western influences?
I know extremist nationalism is bad, but it's still okay for artists to love their country. Heck, on its own there's nothing wrong with the US Army sponsoring movies. Ideally, the world would have enough critical thinkers that any completely braindead national propaganda would be ignored.
I don't care, I was just explaining their comment to you because you didn't understand.
