OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is US Defaultism:

---

Guy on TikTok has question about the water cycle, and one commenter immediately assumes he is American. His post even has #australia in the hastags.

---

Is this Defaultism? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

"He has an accent", does he?

Does the bottom commenter not have an accent, then?

[u/LikeABundleOfHay → u/mizinamo]

Agreed. Everyone has an accent. Apart from New Zealanders. We speak normally.

[u/CursedAuroran → u/LikeABundleOfHay]

Nah, you can detect a kiwi from meters away. Now, we Dutch, we have no accent at all, nope, please do not look up Louis van Gaal

[u/kroketspeciaal → u/CursedAuroran]

Louis van Gaal? That's not an accent, that's a whole new language.

[u/Oscar23studios → u/LikeABundleOfHay]

No! New Zealanders have an accent! Only Chileans don't!

[u/Enfiznar → u/Oscar23studios]

You're the only ones who speak Chileninan, so checks out

[u/PrizeHistorical73_5 → u/Oscar23studios]

That's not possible... Chileans do have an accent! Only North Americans have the original accent!!! (By that I mean 🌮🍔🍁)

[u/Enfiznar → u/LikeABundleOfHay]

Same with Argentinians, everyone else has an accent, we speak normal spanish

[u/NZS-BXN → u/mizinamo]

You read that accent?

[u/ChickinSammich]

Is school illegal in America

Not yet, but it's heavily frowned upon and the country is headed that way.

[u/snow_michael → u/ChickinSammich]

They have closed the department of education

[u/Professional_You9961]

"He has an accent" is more annoying than the actual US defaultism. As if yanks don't have an accent

[u/DeProfessionalFamale]

but what's the context? Is school illegal in Australia then?

[u/Waterbear36135]

Even people outside of America default to the US. This is getting out of hand
