once again trying to articulate the odd kind of discomfort i feel from american/white setting bts fic

there’s nothing wrong with writing that, but i wish people would see it more like a deliberate choice rather than a “neutral/normal”???
brought to u by patchy’s brain: on the same hamster wheel as always
aaaaa but it’s seriously so pervasive? I swear almost all fanfic writers’ earlier works have bts in american/western settings even if their later fics don’t ?

why? Is it a writer comfort zone thing, or a “this is how most english bts fics are set” thing?
also where are fics set in countries other than sk and usa? If it’s ok to write korean men as (korean) americans in fiction, where are all the other cultures/fusions/countries :(
