This basically (questionable wording aside) describes one of the main reasons I have given up on reading Haikyuu!! fanfic a long time ago.

[hwc]

Oh god, I get you. I still read fic, but man, it's so incredibly obvious that most writers are American. It's especially grating when they get stuff that we've seen on the show wrong. I don't expect a thoroughly researched fic, but at least pay attention to the show?

[fishnchips]

It was just too much stuff that annoyed me thrown together - I'm guessing the authors never really notice anything amiss but there is only so much Japanese teenaged schoolboys acting like American high school girls complete with the matching hobbies, online hangouts, taste in music and of course tumblr SJW preaching that I could take.

And yeah, the fact that a lot of it would have been avoidable by paying only the slightest bit of attention is especially annoying (be it just little things like school on Saturdays).

[hwc]

For me it's the lockers. Lockers everywhere in fic when they are nowhere in sight in either manga or anime. I'm pretty sure that the authors don't even notice they do it, I guess lockers are just that normal and omnipresent in everyday American highschool life, but as someone from a country that doesn't have lockers in school it's incredibly obvious and irritating.

Haikyuu!! fic is weirdly SJW-y at times. It's weird because I'm honestly not used to it from my other fandoms. I mostly avoid those fics by skipping fics with more than one SJ-related tag.

I'll agree with you the locker issue, as while I had a locker in 7-8, I almost never used it, and I moved schools after that and the school I moved to didn't have them. I don't know what the average on lockers is in other Aussie schools, but I don't expect them.

[fishnchips]

Some Japanese schools have some sort of lockers - usually in the school foyer where students put their shoes for the day, but I'm not sure they work the same way US school lockers work.

I gave up on Haikyuu!! fic pretty quickly, but I saw more than a few "characters used as tumblr SJW mouthpieces" and it's always annoying and massively OOC.

[hwc]

If it had been shoe lockers it would have been fine, but when characters meet at the lockers and get their books out it's just obviously the US version of high school lockers.

[fishnchips]

Yeah, that sounds silly.

Another popular thing is not paying any attention to volleyball rules. (Stop writing how a team won by one point. That's not possible in volleyball.)

I remember what annoyed me the most: Some author was convinced that Tsukishima listens to typical US tween girl pop and "weeaboo bullshit" and how the fuck can a Japanese person be a weeaboo? ?

pretty sure saturday school in japan ended years ago bro

but yeah. i feel you.

[fishnchips]

In a lot of cases, yes, but a lot of schools have supplementary classes on Saturdays and in this case, some of the characters have to attend those - depending on the timeline, people keep forgetting about that. (It's just a small thing but it bugs me.)

[(Anonymous)]

Some private schools do it. It's not mandatory and not something you'd see at a public school.

In Persona 3 for example, they have Saturday school, but that's because they go to private school.

Private school is also extremely popular in Japan. Idk, as a Canadian, I assume if you go to private school you are rich - but that's not the case in Japan, and low-income families will totally pony up for private school, putting basically everything they own into their kids' education, Asian-style.

High school always costs money, in Japan, I believe, though public high school is cheaper.

[fishnchips]

I am aware of all of this. Doesn't change the fact that in the anime in question, there are supplementary classes for some of the characters and this is an example of one of the anime facts fic authors tend to forget about.
