American readers are terminally uninterested in any kind of literature or media that is not set or centered around the US. If you're american (US citizen, not the continent) and you are reading this separating yourself from it, don't, this is about you, yes, you, exactly you.

You have a chronic lack of curiosity, you were indoctrinated from birth to reject anything that doesn't highlight The Other. You think you're an exception, but you're not. How many [x] classics have you read? How many translations? Why the knee-jerk reaction to subtitles?

Why are your favorite [x] stories only set in the US? Why you only like [x] characters if they have an american first name? Why do we need to americanize ourselves to be published and read by you? We read you. We translate you. We consume you. Why don't you?

I should have made this thread in a three-act structure. Here's is the conclusion. Here's the neat moral of the story. Here's the post-credits hint at a larger franchise. The end.
