Ok imma be real it's getting to the point where I hope Demoman goes out (I love him) just so I never have to read another tag comment about how he's not British ever again
#mod posts#guys#if scotland and wales (i've had one or two comments about this wrt Nia as well) aren't Britain#if Ireland isn't Britain#then why does the word British exist#it would just be English#I'm starting to wish I just called this englishaccentcharacterpoll and excluded Demo and Shrek and Nia#which would be a huge shame bc they're among the characters that have generated the most fun engagement#plus I fucking love Nia and Demo (neutral on Shrek lol)#but it's so tiring#the main reason it's so tiring is that I specifically encouraged non-English British accents to be included#specifically BECAUSE i fucking hate people thinking British=English#I wanted as much diversity of accents from all across the british isles as possible#To show that not all British accents are posh south england accents#And I wanted to remind everyone that British does not mean English#But I've gotten nothing but grief for it constantly#And people assume I don't know what I'm talking about I think#When I am English with a branch of my family in Scotland#I support Scottish Irish and Welsh independence 1000%#I understand some of the nuance and I can understand why people (especially Irish) wouldnt want to be called British#but these are the British Isles and the British Broadcasting Corporation covers all of us#(which is relevant bc several of these characters are from BBC shows including the Scottish accented Capaldi Dr Who)#anyway I'll probably delete this in a couple hours when I feel stupid about posting it
