I was literally just thinking about how anime fics are like some Americanized Japan that I don& #39;t recognize and that I want more "Japan" in anime fanfics but don& #39;t know how to phrase it in a way that asking for writer& #39;s to do things,,,and this anon just reminded me why I don& #39;t + https://twitter.com/rainbokuto/status/1299421049768103936">https://twitter.com/rainbokut...
Post my thoughts often bc people like this exist that take everything as a personal attack,,I& #39;m just so tired and kinda angry so I& #39;m just going to post my thoughts that I typed up months ago and stayed in the drafts
While I don& #39;t mind the fics that this fandom has produced (in fact I love them) but I always am dissapointed with the lack of "Japaness" in fics. However, I& #39;d rather have no "Japaness" than an poorly done westernized version of Japan,,,(this was my original)
(from here on new thoughts) Like I don& #39;t know how to address this bc writing fanfic is supposed to be fun but I struggle to write hq fics bc I& #39;m constantly thinking about my Japan and how that& #39;s different from the Japan my mom knows and how even that& #39;s different from Japan today
I& #39;m very jealous of the people who can write an anime fic without even considering the country that produced the anime in the first place
I know that I can& #39;t control how people write and I don& #39;t want this to be like "you have to study Japanese culture to write a fanfic" bc you should write what makes you happy but like I think this needs to be said,,
I watch anime bc it makes me feel connected to a culture I& #39;m so far away from,,,my sister came to me crying after watching this one anime with a jp festival in it bc she started missing my grandma& #39;s old house that we can& #39;t return to bc it& #39;s gone,,,
I don& #39;t think I& #39;ve ever read a haikyuu matsuri fic,,I have such fond memories of them and I would love to write one but I haven& #39;t had the energy to write anything ever since 2020 began,,,
This thread isn& #39;t here to tell people what to do,,,it& #39;s just my thoughts as one out of the many half Japanese people in an anime fandom and I& #39;m very interested in hearing from everyone else (not just Japanese people)
