I have not seen a movie in years and do not have tv in SE Asia, but I feel like a saw 1000 animated movies when my son was young in California and I had the job of taking him to them. All I noticed from Disney movies was that the parents were always dead or died at the beginning.
Pretty much every reference you make in this post is not something I have heard of. I've seen the word "PewDiePie," but I do not know what it is. It's amazing how much I do not see now.
I had a fb friend who was raging constantly about SJW's and finally blocked me after I told him that single jewish women did not like him either.
The idea of a "villain support group" seems about as American as you can get.
It's an interesting idea that characters in the games have outside lives. Maybe this is is true and we will someday be overtaken by them. I see little kids here with costumes on and their eyes within inches of screens, so maybe they are already interacting in a way we cannot predict.
