…
By “fake an accent” do you mean…
Acting?
The probable idea is that they are not representing a background that they share with their character, which there has been a push for recently.
however, there are also “colorblind” casts being done recently as well, so it’s one trend or another.
Also, it’s hollywood, you expect the majority of the cast to be from the country of production of a film.
Only Americans can play Americans!
Like bro…
Do you really not see a difference between ethnicity and nationality?
To you, those are the same?
I’m not saying any of the things I said are good,bad or things I agree with. It is what it is, and that’s what I’m pointing out.
So should Thor come from Walhalla?
He has to really be able to control lightning too…
Otherwise he’s “faking it”
Learn to spell
Valhalla isn’t a real place, how would you get an actor from there?
America isn’t a real place either. Nyeh.
Do you normally engage in this sort of prescriptive logic?
What, explaining the reason why things happen to people who are oblivious as to what is happening? I’m not saying any of the things I said are good,bad or things I agree with. It is what it is, and that’s what I’m pointing out.
Also, it’s hollywood, you expect the majority of the cast to be from the country of production of a film.
When the fuck has that ever been true?

Isn’t acting just faking?

Faking implies distrust. Acting implies skill. Know the difference…
TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I disagree, but understand your perspective.
Worthess@discuss.online 4 months ago
Sure. A healthy and respectful response, however maybe you shouldn’t consume media e.g. go to the theater or watch tv/ movies. If you can’t distinguish real from fiction

No.
Neither is code switching.

But if you’re not using your actual accent, what would you call the accent you’re using?
This seems pedentic to me, to be honest, and just an excuse to start an internet argument. What I’m trying to say by “fake accents” is perfectly understandable. If you disagree, cool.

Because you’re lacking foundational knowledge…
And apparently aren’t interested in other people explaining things to you so that you can understand what you’re talking about.
If you don’t want to reply, just stop
But other people may need the same explanation. So as long as you keep typing replies, some is probably going to keep trying to clarify so you understand.
It ain’t gonna be me tho
