While I get what you're saying, it's pretty accurate. Reckon it's the equivalent of American characters having coffee.

Yes, both sides drink the other beverage regularly, but I have trouble seeing why this is "wrong".

[(Anonymous)]

It's not wrong. Secret maker just wanted to have a dig at fic writers.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, it's kind of annoying when fics in American settings talk about coffee like every single character is addicted to it and can't function without it.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, the sentiment isn't uncommon. My coworkers and I are always talking about how we can't function without coffee.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay? I didn't say that nobody likes coffee. I only suggested it was a bit much to write every single character as a coffee addict.

[(Anonymous)]

Mind you, there are a number of countries that are just as judgemental about the low quality of coffee in America. I find it believable to see Americans drinking coffee, but there's no amount of suspension of disbelief that could make me believe the coffee in the scene is actually good.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, Americans drink coffee all day because their coffee is weak and awful.

[(Anonymous)]

coffee is an american thing? lol? maybe to americans. Diner free refill drip coffee or paper cup to go coffee, maybe.

"While I get what you're saying, stereotypes come from *somewhere*"
I'm not trying to call you racist, anon, don't worry, but the complaint of OP is precisely that it has become a lazy stereotype, not that it's wrong. Yeah, UK people may drink more coffee than almost any other nation (Turkey drinks more) but black men also commit (or are accused of) more theft and drug related crimes than other races in the US, so is it "pretty accurate" to have every black character be a drug dealer? yeah, the one is just a harmless habit and the other is a major problematic topic but a stereotype is a stereotype.

[(Anonymous)]

lmao are you serious right now

"Why do you always write American characters are driving cars to work! Are you ~racist~?"

"black men also commit (or are accused of) more theft and drug related crimes than other races in the US"

there's, uh, a pretty big difference between committing a crime and being accused of a crime, my dude
