When all the Americans start posting about random ass people you don’t know about.
That’s like my Balkan ass posting without context “hey anyone remember when Tito did this or that” (I don’t actually) or “hey did you hear the new song of Aleksandra Prijović”
Like yeah real cool without context. Maybe I even know who they’re talking about, no way to know without a photo.
istfg if one more person on this app just assumes that i’m american (spoiler: im not!!!) like generally im just joking like ohohoh american defaultism but like guys srsly
even people with good intentions just fucking assume that i’m american or white???
GOD NOOO
(btw the languages i can speak are 5, understand way more tho)
AND ENGLISH IS LITERALLY NOT EVEN IN MY TOP 3 LANGUAGES I CAN SPEAK!!!!!
When it comes to defaultism, the argument that the server of the site is in a particular country is so weird to me because I don't know that unless i look it up, it's not important to the site and it's users at all.
It would make more sense to say that the biggest chunk of users is from a particular country but still... making a post reffering to sth specific to your country on a public site is a certain type of decision that can, depending on context, be quite dumb actually.
Like sometimes we don't know what other countries are like. Normal. But, what bothers me is that if someone from any country other than the usa does this, usaians are going to "correct" it or demean it as if their country is the only one out there and everyone else is making stuff up (instead of like, learning about other places). Meanwhile when an usaian does this, the rest of us just go "ah, they must be from usa" and move on like normal people
Hey I made another episode! :D
I've been mulling over the topic of how people perceive their own personage as default, and how when that's mixed with hierarchy and conformity it results in bullying and erasure of individuality. Andddd so I broke that down in this episode :P
Please interact! I want to talk with y'all about this! :((( (if you want to ofc)
Brückner, János
