And Anime to a certain extent considering the head of Funimation is a lunatic.

I never seen it this bad before.

I swear after around 2007/2008 is when things started gradually going downward.

The thing is, it was always this bad. It was just hidden how awful nearly all these companies are.

In what way

Censorship on steroids
Money over talent (given that has always been a thing, but now its 10x worse)
Re-writing Scripts by inserting narrow minded political dialogue caused by the head of Funimation because he clearly is a psychopath.
Degradation of Talent
Shareholders/investors having too much say and further degrading said product until the market crashes, and they will try to parachute into another company and then ruin that one.
Hollywood and the Gaming Industry bowing to the whims of China (censorship, etc) because teh moneeeeeey with total disregard how everyone else sees it.
Sony becoming too censorship happy for the sake of more money, and thus Japanese Developers are starting to abandon the PS5 in favor of Xbox which I was shocked to learn of.
Predatory Microtranscations much worse than before (leaked documents further back that up).

If this is the way of the future I want no part of it, and maybe for the first time I might actually buy a Xbox if Sony doesn't stop their own bullshit.

This one really confuses me because the concept of going to see a movie because of it having a famous star is dying off incredibly quickly.

Although I'm getting the impression this is actually all about anime and Japanese games.

You would be wrong about that, study what others have said around and you'll get a bigger picture.

They been trying to censor story scripts if they find something they don't like, and if you have any dealings with Tencent then you as a developer are in trouble.

Story scripts aren't being censored. They're specifically pander to China to make more money when they release over there. Or at the very least that's the only examples I can think of.

Disney Star Wars has been springing leaks and rumors over the past week and the flow of information doesn't stop there. We also have an ex-Lucasfilm employee shedding light on the transition after the sale, the betrayal of George Lucas, and Disney Star Wars' atmosphere of fear, control, and paranoia.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QRbURrb_gU

The Emmys ratings CRASH with Jimmy Kimmel's return after almost getting cancelled. Up against Sunday Night Football which saw another double digit loss in ratings right along with the Emmys, which hit a record low. Looks like even the MSM is recognizing this political divisiveness is destroying the business part of show business, which includes sports. Millionaire athletes and actors complaining while sitting in their million dollar homes and billion dollar venues while business shut down (or worse) across America. To use their language. It's not a good look. Are we at the beginning of an irreversible decline, or worse yet..an entertainment apocalypse? If so they earned it.

Funimation recently revealed via a blog post, how they are involved with "Anime Production Committee's" and how in doing so, they even obtain levels of ownership over Japanese anime titles.

Which in turn Japanese Studios controlled by Funimation are no longer going to have their own say in their own country.

and this person put it better than anyone else -
Luis Morales 5 months ago
Japan and anime creators need to shut down Funimation for false translating, and trashing the general public and the anime creators. Funimation is going to cause the worldwide anime market to crash. Now that is what they mean by diversifying the risk.

"False Translating" is something that Funimation has been getting caught doing, and its very wrong of them.

China's growing presence on the international stage has trickled into the industries of gaming and media with massive companies like Tencent. Like it's US competitors, Tencent holds massive power in online communication and information. Blizzard's recent actions against Hearthstone player Blitzchung are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to China's influence in western entertainment.

I'm still looking for that information concerning JPN devs moving to Xbox because is that something a Dev. friend of mine told me last week; I have to ask where he got that info.

After the NBA's Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey voiced his support for Hong Kong protesters on Twitter, Chinas state-run TV channel CCTV canceled its agreement to show preseason games. What academics, commentators, filmmakers, musicians, celebrities, and even institutions say outside of China is increasingly modified by the gravitational pull of the Chinese government and Chinese consumers. Why are Americans having to apologize for tweeting tacit support of a pro-democracy movement being repressed by an authoritarian regime? To really understand whats going on, we talk to experts and a banned-in-China cantopop star to explore the forces driving this reality.

By all accounts, Devotion was a great game. That sentence has to be in past tense, and the opinion has to be second-hand, because Devotion was only available to play for one week earlier this year. But apparently, it was a twisted and masterful psychological horror title inspired by games like PT, but steeped in Taiwanese superstition.

Even if I agree with hypothesis that Disney ruined Star Wars...how is this anything new? Do you consider that to be the first time sequels to classic movies sucked? Star Wars sequels and prequels, as mixed as they are, are still better than the majority of shitty sequels out there. Most are bad. Sequels being something decent if anything is more of a recent trend.

As for award shows we've been hearing this nonsense for years. It completely ignores that we aren't forced to watch broadcast television anymore. Why would people sit and watch a 3 hour award show when they can stream Netflix? Wouldn't that be more relevant than Jimmy Kimmel crying about healthcare being bad?

Don't care about sports or anime so others can bother with that.

I think it's easy to distinguish people that don't like the Star Wars movies because they're simply mediocre and those that hate them because of weird reasons like these YouTube guys. Give them thirty seconds and if they use the term "Mary Sue" then you know who you're talking to lol

I posted that because Anti wanted proof if Hollywood was really falling apart; that was just one example out of many.

Now maybe the current incarnation of Hollywood is falling apart, but what will take its place culturally has yet to be seen.
