If they went to college in the 90's then it's a massive difference.

is it really?

Yes. Especially if it's slash. Student culture was different enough then that you'd have to do a little bit of research to write a good story.


But people today are lazy as shit and uninterested in anything outside their tiny pathetic bubble.

I can't speak for the 90s but my mother was in college in the 80s and from what she's told me about it, there were most definitely some major differences in student culture. A lot of times, I don't think our generation which has grown up with the internet and social media etc really gets just how much those things have shaped student culture in the modern day.

I don't think AYRT was arguing that college in the 80s isn't any different to college now. I think they were saying that a college AU is a college AU. Why would it being set in the present be an issue? Why would the reader expect an AU to be canon adherent about what era it's set it, when the whole thing about AUs is that they're NOT canon adherent.

If it's not your thing it's not your thing, and that's cool. I just don't think the specific criticism of modern-day college AUs for not being canon adherent makes sense in this context.
