This is a ridiculous argument, at least for this conversation. Nobody is saying that there should be a bunch of movies being made about other atrocities, all anyone is saying is that it's too bad that the suffering of other groups seems to be forgotten by so many. I haven't seen a single person argue that Hollywood or anyone else is responsible for promoting the terrible fates of these other groups, people are simply pointing out that there are other victims to remember.
