"As an American of Italian descent who despises movies like the Godfather, Goodfellas and shows like the Sopranos I can testify to how simply downloading such distorted inaccurate stories as well as glorifying them can do actual harm including death."
The entertainment industry is a key player with influencing culture. Not only do movies that glorify bad behavior encourage those who watch it to mimic that behavior but it can also alter history. When Hollywood race swaps and or gender swaps characters in content based on historical events they are in a way teaching viewers history because most believe that what is shown is accurate. If Hollywood were to constantly out out historical films where, because of "Diversity" they have the wrong ethnicity and or sex in the film, once those who were young at the start, are now adults, they believe the history they saw in the movies and not real history. It is why the activists that infected public education began eliminating civics and reduced history. In order to get the next generation to make the mistakes of past generations they need to not be taught about the mistakes of the past.
I don't recall the details because this easily 10+ years ago but I read an article where some college student(s) did a study on entertainments impact on society by asking people if we actually had a zombie like outbreak and you were armed with a gun to defend yourself how would you kill the zombie and most said you had to hit/destroy the head else the zombie would keep coming. This of course is absolutely silly and it shows how impactful entertainment can be on how people think. It's not unreasonable to think we could one day have a virus get loose that doesn't make people zombies but causes them to behave similar to a zombie. It is however absurd to believe that if this were to happen the only way to stop them is to destroy the head
Another great example is how young people who live in the hood, hold a firearm. They foolishly hold it sideways because that is what Hollywood has taught them
