That's not strictly true. It's because the editors that led Phade to create a site are English speakers (and not all are American, anyhow: dokidoki, Vlad, and AbsoluteDestiny come to mind immediately). Had the major movement in AMVs been in some other language, I doubt Phade would have seen the need for this site. There wouldn't have been enough English speakers in the movement to matter.CrackTheSky wrote:I agree with Jen. I have just as many friends on the .org that are from all over the world as I do friends from the USA. You'd be surprised at the number of people here on the .org that don't live in the U.S.; the only reason this site is in English is because Phade is American.
Beyond that, let's be honest. English is the current global language. Lingua Franca without the Franca. Most major programming languages are based in English, web coding certainly is, and the vast majority of websites are English. Although America certainly has a big chunk of that, it is aided in the remnants of the British Empire, which are spread across the globe, and are more likely to be Developed Nations than other countries speaking something else.
I have to agree with Arigatomina, Sayde, and the OP. Marking something as non-English is no more discriminatory than the site itself being in English. If anything, it allows non-English editors to feel more comfortable the site can serve their audience because if they uses a song in their native language, those those are looking for it can more easily find it.
