yes, I only realised two posts in that my man here is mad about folk actually typing in the voice they talk in. not even borrowing words but just talking like they own selves. Which is accentism and I am not here for it!!

Pour cette étudiante qui se sentait déjà en insécurité linguistique car elle arrivait en métropole avec un "accent" et des r roulés qui la rendaient selon elle moins légitime, cet "effacement" de son prénom réduit à une initiale sonnait comme un rejet de son propre pays.

I saw someone get accused of ageism, ableism, and...get this...accentism all in one post.
I'm thinking the OP spends entirely too much time online.

Relatedly, stop using a southern accent for your “stupid persona” quotes. That’s accentism and is bad.

Experiencing racism does not make you immune from perpetuating racism.
Similarly, experiencing accentism does not make you immune from projecting ideas of "good" and "bad" accents.

I should focus my research on why French people are obsessed with accents instead of focusing on #multilingualism
It’s fascinating how much #accentism is everywhere, even in French 😠
(Obv I won’t change my topic but it’s still infuriating)
