One of the things I very much hate about modern AUs in MDZS is how the fic writers Americanise everything about the characters until the only thing Asian about them is their name.
#mdzs#I think the no of fics that properly research their cultural background and history and I've actually loved#I can count on one hand#no because really why is WWX is speaking in American slang and why is everyone forgetting that#They. Are. Chinese!#they will be most of the time be speaking mandarin thank you very much#I do hate the Straight boy Wei Ying fic writers make him out to be#come to think of it#this happens in most fandoms#I took a peek in the first few fics in omniscient reader's viewpoint fandom ao3#and what do you know almost all of them have Kim Dojka as an oblivious dumb idiot#like people will really erase all the complex aspects of a character in order to idiotify them for the 'dumb oblivious idiot' trope#and have all of their friends and family be there for the sole purpose to be exasperated with the main characters being oblivious about each#others' feelings#because obviously they know better about these two people feel and their relationship than the characters themselves#not that these can't be done well and asking for relationship advice is nothing out of the ordinary#but when it's like the characters have to be hammered over the head with “he likes you!” like they can't figure that out themselves is..#very annoying#wei wuxian#lan wangji#mxtx
