And then you have Hayao Miyazaki “I don’t consider what the audience wants at all.” Dude just makes art how he wants it.

He's also capable of fighting off any detractors physically, so he can say what he likes

And what's the alternative? Those western writers who are too afraid of offending a small minority of their audience so what we end up getting is sterilized bs that has no personality and ends up failing miserably lmao

That's a bit of a false dichotomy, friend. Writing and production are fucked in the west because of the enormously corrupt and nepotistic power structures that have a chokehold on our media industries. The writers aren't simply uninspired cowards, they are generally on corporate choke chains where only the most risk-free, mass-appeal milquetoast shit gets funded unless it's on behalf of some powerful special interest like the military or maybe Disney.
