THIS IS NOT ABT ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR but lowkey i find it kinda annoying how often pkmn fic just wholesale americanises the japanese regions. esp when EVEN IN THE SAME WORKS ppl will put at least a minimum amt of effort into portraying, say, Kalos as France or Galar as the UK, but the Japanese regions just get completely burgerwashed. Why doesn't Japanese culture get the same kind of care as European ones do?

#i read a fic once where green (born & raised in what irl is a part of literal Tokyo) didnt know how to use chopsticks as an adult .#theres also way too much red doing ASL. even english speakers outside of the IS have their own sign language AND HES JAPANESE #it feels like an extension of americans defaulting to seeing anime characters as white (even when they're From Japan. or fantasy japan)#i dont think it's like intentional racism or anything i just think it's kinda annoying and maybe smth to think about #feel free to steal the word burgerwash
