Ultimately, know wtf you’re talking about before making some fiction up about a thing, person or place lmao. also tags (which might get cut off heh), cause no: ‘Americans’ are not alone in doing shit like this and yes, I have seen it done in the reverse too lol! And architecture isn’t the only place it’s done, either. A lot of this is cultural assumption: rather than appropriation.. though I’d say it’s right there at the line of it, when people are slapping their own definitions and more in context on there that doesn’t belong. Which yes, Europe does all the time too. Is that really a surprise, when that’s where the majority currently here came from?

so funny when americans make photosets with pictures of normal eastern european buildings and describe them as "melancholy" or "desolate." like my brother that is an apartment complex. my friend Милош lives there.

#other cultures do this too; don't pretend #I think the most ridiculous shit I've seen comes out of victorian houses being assumed as being in europe because #they forget that the country as a nation was founded BY europeans who fled here to escape indentured slavery: and brought that architecture-#WITH them #english: french: and spanish especially #with even more following #I think the weirdest modern idiot myths from outside the country surround guns though #was watching a korean show the other day --based on anime but still--#and one kid in it just plops a supposedly loaded gun onto a diner table #liek bro #no #no that is not how any of that works #unless you're looking to go to prison in under five minutes #SOME states have open carry laws yes #and that's STILL not how those even work #no you can't just walk in & buy a gun like a piece of friggin candy over the counter lmao #even in the least strict states you have to go through a minimum two weeks safety class; which includes operation and get a license-#of which there are several kinds and classes OF license #problem being (and current events touch)#we haven't updated those checks and class reqs in a long time #and the world doesn't take the kinds of mental illness it takes to think walking into a public place and attacking people EVER OR -#even with a knife? Seriously enough to do something about THAT and teh other issues with health care as a whole #Ultimately gun bans are worthless #when mental health and the fact the mentally unwell and crimnials are able to get a hold of ANY weapon to endanger themselves and others #better legistlation; screening and enforcement should be gone after first #because teh question we should be asking is this #why was someone that unstable allowed or enabled to get hold of a weapon? why was their mental health ignored to this point?#why were they allowed into any school especially #and why are our representatives being so lazy about fixing the root of these issues?#why is our health and mental care especially mid-covid still being ignored to put us in this state?
