French zoomer here and no you're dead right. I have similar tastes and actually go to an art school in hope to maybe make some comics myself and it looks bleak.
I'm in a specialized program for making comics and all of my colleagues are either
>tumblrinas and trannies that can't draw for shit
>brown weebs imitating one piece
>white weebs imitating my hero academia
>.the occasionnal comic book fan glazing modern spider-man
no one my age reads any actual BD, in a BD school it's absolutely depressing we're encouraged to do this autoboigraphical slop you're talking about, every girl in my class (wich is 70% of it) does this shit and they're right to do so since that's what's being published. I went to Angoulême this year and no new stuff looked good its either that or nigs drawing """manga"" without any of the stuff that makes manga good.
It's not just my school I know people from other art scools also specialized and also gobelins and its the same, mediocrity has my country's art world by the balls.
