KeisukeTakatouI mean pretty much every website is US focused unless stated otherwise.
Yeah I assume the reason there isn’t is because the general ones are US-centric by default and then everyone else has to have somewhere specific to go. But I guess if they want their own dedicated place too why not?
tkcIsn’t that the problem being stated in the OP haha.

zaphIf they were wrong people wouldn’t be complaining about US defaultism.
‘US defaultism’ seems to be a term created and used exclusively by Reddit. Is it people assuming they’re talking to an american online?
It’s americans assuming everything must be about the US and everyone they’re talking to understands US terms or even is from there.
Like using state acronyms with no context and assuming ppl will know what it means. Or random cardinal directions when there’s no country context. The whole thing likely exists because of the insane cultural bubble US education and media perpetuates combined with many people on the english speaking internet actually being from there.
Oh and also many of the people on reddit complaining about it were utterly unable to see when there was context implying it’s about the US so they weren’t really better.
It’s true tho. Every person speaking American online is a spiritual immigrant of the US.
To be fair, they are to thank for the internet, so I guess it makes sense…
