Because its fantasy no ones fantasising about American accents.
I feel like the existence of Matthew McConaughey disproves this
He would make a good Gandalf in the future versions of the franchise
The rule says that no one is fantasizing about American accents, but I see a lot of lawbreakers up in this house
Why not? American culture and linguistics are extremely popular around the world.
Maybe since modern America is so young, people dont associate it to fantasy?
Alternatively, Native American accents aren't uncommon in fantasy I feel like
I imagine it's because Americans use foreign accents to make the fantasy more foreign itself. If the wizard who cast a spell to alter the passage of time starts talking like the dude that runs the gas station on the corner, maybe it takes away some of the magic.
Good point, Avatar is basically US Marines in spaaaaace vs. spaaaace Pocahontas sci-fi/fantasy.
Yeah sure buddy, "American Culture" is extremely popular. It isn't that you people just try to appropriate the culture of the migrants lol
What else do they have? Their whole nation is based on mass immigration from other countries
Touché
Damn, someone got you with a downvote within 3 minutes of posting. That shit was quick, didn't think the Fediverse got down like that. Wasn't me for the record
But, you don't believe the "American Culture" is popular? I'd be real interested in a counter argument to the fact it is popular. It's pretty easy to show that American media and politics are pretty discussed or enjoyed around the world.
And I'm not sure what you mean about us appropriating from migrants. Do you consider every American a migrant due to the fact that America is so young?
Something like the last thing you said. I mean they killed most of their natives and the traditions they had, I'm sure there's even more latinos there that there is people decending from the native nations.
So if their "culture" didn't came from their own land, then from where? People who came there: Migrants.
Edit: Mispellings (if it isn't clear enough, english is not my first language lol).
hollywood and americas massive industry has effectively given it a chokehold on western culture, to the point where western culture practically just means 'cultures that take their cue from the usa'
But the USA has no real culture, what culture are they exporting if not for the ones they're stealing? Lol
@Belzebubulubu All of Jazz plus Rock and Roll and Hip Hop?
