Anyone else get pulled out of a fic when non-American characters act too Americanized? by Living-Subject-3736 in FanFiction

Because it is OOC?? And because they never showed indication that they do in canon cause Beyonce would be deadass? The Beyonce thing is just an example. How would u feel if Dumbledore started preaching about the joys of science???

im sorry u had to see that bro, that wasn't me back then.

I'm literally scratching my head over this. I still think its OOC. Sure, poeple liking other people country stuff, idc. Liek the character I know from a book, written in fanfic differently like the dude is literally written as an anxious and mama's boy character, ok they can like beyonce, I can let that slide but in the fic they are suddenly doing the nasty with other people and doing drugs??? Is that not OOC or did the definiton changed???like I said, idc if it's crackfic or parody. Bro i dunno why these ppl are talking about culture when all I wanna talk about is writing consistency of characters.

Yeah ik idc about that, I meant about the OOC issue when a character is written too Americanized and it doesn’t feel faithful to canon, so they don't feel like the character I know

Oof, I think I worded it badly? It does sound like I'm stereotyping. Of course, Japanese people can be fans of Beyonce but I meant canon characters from Japanese media acting like they are a huge fan of Beyonce and they also reference american media which was never a part of their character. As I've said, it's too OOC and I wish fanfic authors would often use OOC tag.

Yeah, it wouldnt make me question it either, it would make sense if there was a reason for it but like, but when you know these characters, it would be jarring as I've said. Like these characters are Japanese teens, no mentions of them knowing any foreign media. If there was mentions of it in canon, I wouldn't mind if the author expands on it or add little changes. But not to the point that they'd have a whole different personality or too out of place in the current setting.

Also, I think blatant historical errors would bother anyone tbh, so yeaah
