literally nobody you asshole: ‘omg why is this american website populated by mostly american users so america-centric?? my 4th cousin who lives in a french village was stung by a bee this morning why is no one talking about this?’
no. nobody fucking says that and it’s not what us-centrism means. what people are pissed about is non-american users are guilted for not being up to date with us social and political issues and told we’re bad people for not knowing the details of every major usamerican issue – whilst usamerican tumblr users refuse to educate themselves on topics and issues that aren’t us-based, thus holding the rest of us to a bizarre double standard.
we’re pissed that usamerican tumblr users repeatedly assume that the rest of the world has the exact same social issues & dynamics as the usa. we’re pissed that any attempt to bring up this double standard or encourage usamericans to educaste themselves about our social and political issues (like many of us educate ourselves about usamerican issues), or any attempt to stop usamerican users from shaming non-usamericans for not knowing the details of usamerican social and politicl issues, is met by a pushback reaction that others us and treats our issues as ridiculous and less important than anything that happens in the usa.
and posts like this just prove our goddamn point.

the weirdest thing about the education system is that pretty much every teenager ever is so stressed out about schools that they pray for disasters or fake illness or try to kill themselves and yet nobody has ever thought to themselves “hey maybe our system is flawed” and instead all they ever think is “kids these days are so lazy and selfish” like what the fuck is up with that man
