    Because English speaking viewers don’t want to read subtitles

      Do you know where Tennessee is?

      • Powerpoint@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yes. Subtitles would still be required

    There’s a DnD podcast called “Not Another DnD Podcast”, where one of the characters is a redneck elf. That one’s played by Emily Axford, who’s also part of D20: open.spotify.com/show/5GcTIDkgnB9wP6CmUyOSqa?si=2…

    I did a dnd campaign once where it had a Louisiana bayou theme. Rednecks? Southern belles, and swamp gnomes with Cajun French accents. Was a lot of fun!

    The Seanchan would like a slowly drawled word.

      Imperial conquerors from across the sea with slave sorceresses and Texan accents.

      Wheel of Time is top tier.

    Theres not enough guns in Fantasy stories to warrant a redneck accent

    • RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I know of one.

  • VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Careful what you wish for. I believe it’s in the first book of Wheel of Time that suddenly there’s a group of “darkfriends” (basically worshippers of the ultimate evil) who all speak in a dialect that sounds like they’re from rural Georgia.

    Even with Rosamund Pike doing a fantastic job reading the audio book, that was immersion breaking as fuck 😂

    • commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      the seanchan are described as having a drawl, but you’re not introduced to them until book2 and they’re not uniformly darkfriends.

        Sorry, my ADHD memory lol. I’m currently at book 3 and knew for sure that it was one of the previous ones 😁

      there’s a group of “darkfriends” … who all speak in a dialect that sounds like they’re from rural Georgia

      Not sure how you got that impression from reading a book. It’s not like he references rural Georgia.

      source
      • VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        By listening to the audio book version. The point about Rosamund Pike reading should have been a clue for you

    They made at least one “southern fantasy” show, it was called Man in the High Castle based on work by American fantasy writer Phillip K Dick.

    source
    • RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      …that would be science fiction. Dick was a sci-fi writer.

  • Norgur@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    And I thought there was a remark about the suspiciously missing foreign accents in there... I was disappointed

    source
    • MudMan@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I mean... there are a couple of them that try to do mine and, honestly? Nah, just stick to what you know.

    British Scottish Welsh (Irish is complicated)?

    I have English being conflated with British but never the other way round.

    I have no idea how I feel about this

    source
    • ravenford@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Irish isn’t complicated - we’re a separate island from Britain.

      source
      • Z3k3@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Wrong.

        Northern Ireland is brittish. Hence the cimplicated

    My last character was an orphan (or course), taken in by a dwarf clan, where he worked alongside them in the mines. So, naturally, he was Appalachian
