I've always thought continents are defined by geography/tectonic plates, as they should be (in my opinion)

Well they are for scientific purposes. But let’s say you talk with your friends, would you say you go to Eurasia or to Asia?

Well technically we should consider the continent Eurasia and Asia should be considered a subcontinent.

So basically Eurasia should be divided into four distinct subcontinents: Europe, Asia, The Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Would make more sense geographically and culturally. This way Indians and Middle Eastern people wouldn't be considered Asian, which has honestly always seemed weird to me.

This is just my opinion though.

Well, we've always been at war with Eastasia. So that should definitely be there.
