Interesting, nonny, tell us your opinion on age of consent laws in Japan. Go on.

[(Anonymous)]

You need a safety net over there? For that weird ass conclusion you just jumped to?

[(Anonymous)]

No, sorry, this is too much of a reach

[(Anonymous)]

?

[(Anonymous)]

u sound american

[(Anonymous)]

WTF?

I mean, the secret has mostly Arabic text on it, so if you'd drawn some conclusion about the Middle East it might have been less of a stretch, but even so. WTF.

I have never in my life seen anyone more obsessed with underage sex than the pearl-clutchers who bring it up in every. single. discussion, even when no-one else has ever mentioned it at all.

Like, someone definitely has this stuff on the brain, anon, but it's not the ones you're thinking of.

[(Anonymous)]

Why is a problem that the age of consent is 18? Unless you meant the ones with the parent's permission and that would still get you in jail?

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like we don't know any more about OP but have learned something about you, nonny.

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder, is there a culture anywhere in the world where it's considered good manners and not weird at all to march into a conversation about literally any other topic and insisting everybody REALLY wants to talk about pedophilia?

I kind of doubt it, but please tell me if I'm wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

Well done in getting everyone here riled up.

A lot of fandom spaces have historically been, and to a large extent are still, dominated by Americans. Especially English-speaking fandom spaces, given that America is by far the country with the most English speakers. So I just fundamentally disagree with the idea that it's presumptuous and arrogant for Americans to take an American background for granted in their fandom spaces. Americans being American and talking about American stuff is not an insult to the rest of the world.

[(Anonymous)]

There are a whole load of British fandoms where this is really not true, but the attitude the OP is talking about is regularly on display.

[(Anonymous)]

Nothing wrong with Americans bringing an American perspective, but also nothing wrong with keeping in mind that not everyone shares it. I see this a lot with issues related to medical info and legal info, where something actually is regionally specific, as well as people lacking knowledge of one another’s countries’ histories. Of course people will generally know their own countries best and want to talk about their own perspectives, but taking a minute to understand the context someone is coming from can really help with avoiding pointless arguments.

[(Anonymous)]

And if all they did was 'talk about American stuff', no-one would have a problem with it.

But that's not what OP is talking about, and it's not what a lot of non-Americans in fandom experience. Americans in fandom don't talk about American stuff, they impose it on every space they occupy, and insults or flat-out vilifies anyone who doesn't share their exact values, morals, belief systems, and country-specific experiences.

[(Anonymous)]

India, surely?

[(Anonymous)]

You forgot their obnoxious belief that race relations are the same everywhere as in America.

[(Anonymous)]

As a Canadian, so much of our pop culture is American that it isn't always as glaring to me when Americanisms are out of place, but I still think this secret is valid and a totally understandable way to feel.

It's not exactly a fandom thing, but I'm into fragrance as a hobby, and Americans almost always assume everybody else has access to all the same stuff they do. Also, most Americans don't bother to put CONUS on their sales listings, thus wasting the time of everyone who isn't from the US, who spends time browsing their listing and PMing them only to find out, "Oh, I only ship to the US, sorry." Put that info in the listing, FFS. Literally everyone else does.

[(Anonymous)]

As an American, when I show up to international spaces, usually Europeans, especially British, will go out of their way to point out the Americanness of the American. Like, if y'all want us to stop talking about America then stop talking about America? I'm cool existing in the fandom with y'all. Are y'all OK?

But TBH for the most part, the fandoms I go to there aren't too many hostile exchanges or feelings between nationalities lately. Like, most of us are like "yeah all of our governments suck in one way or another, hope y'all are ok. have you seen the new thing in the fandom?"

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, I am far from being American and still somehow assume every English-speaking person in fandom is an American. Yeahhhh

[(Anonymous)]

Not only in fandom. All over the Internet, everywhere.

[(Anonymous)]

Does anyone here read Arabic..?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm trying to think of any time I pushed my supposed American standards on anyone else in fandom, or bullied them into speaking or writing the Eng-- excuse me, the "American" language. Not coming up with anything. And I must be in different fandoms, because I've never noticed this happening in mine.

An attempted translation, without any knowledge

[(Anonymous)]

I used Google Translate's OCR function to attempt a translation of the Arabic and Thai text into English...

Arabic text at the top: [God wiling, next year, like now, you will be living in the midst of your dreams and prayers, a masterpiece. By the way, these arguments are ugly and you don't want to go back to this channel.]

Thai text at the top: [Why did the staff press the acne and talk to each other?]
or maybe [Why does the acne press staff talk so much?]

Arabic text at the bottom: [Guys, the channel was stolen. No, my love, she sold the channel. Yes, I did not understand which one you downloaded. This is a woman. Also, her channel is downloading, like this, she and her husband. Even our sister, Ghada Adel, also sold the channels. Thank you, my love, for your response. Often there will be an auction outside Egypt and the one who puts a higher number buys the channel.]

Feel free to point and laugh at my ignorant machine-based translation. I was just curious what it would spit out. Of course, I would love to get a better translation from anyone who actually knows the languages in question.
