Can I rant about red solo cups? I remember few years ago I read a fic where one part of it was set in Finland during like 2016 and was written by USAmerican. In it the characters were having a party and were drinking from red solo cups. We didn't have those here, or at least I hadn't seen them anywhere, so yeah, it was a tiny thing where the writer assumed things based on their experiences but still it slightly annoyed me.
Now however, not even a decade later I can go to a store and they will be there. Why? Because that's what people drink from in every party scene in USAmerican movies and to drink from anything else, well how could we possibly do that? It's not like we didn't have plastic cups before that, or that they are somehow something exceptional, no, it's simply how UScentrism works.
i dont think usamericans rly understand how prevalent their culture is. english is taught in schools. we hear about usa news, watch usa shows and movies, know usa actors, read usa books, listen to usa music, have usa brands. i have a shirt somewhere with some usa flag motive from like 15 years ago. cant remember why i even have it. why were they even selling that in croatia. your books and culture are everywhere, you dominate social media, and then come on here whenever someone gives even a middle criticism and act like spoiled children because someone wants you to open an atlas
