Modern AU

all those modern au’s and recs of them and i’m here, grinding my teeth bc people can and will like/write whatever they want but i for some reason cannot stand modern au’s or any kind of hard au deviating from the canon world so i sit here. fuming. reminding myself the search and the close tab exist for me to use them and that ao3 exclude search terms is a gift from the heavens… but i really cannot understand why in some fandoms like a third or a fourth or half all the fics are modern aus or adjacent? i suppose it easier to write if you just transplant everyone to some nebulous equivalent of your country’s cities or usa but it feels like the easiest way of getting ooc charas… some modern au are at least interesting but yeah, not my thing.
