This ask has been sitting in my inbox forever - and I’m really sorry about that - but I finally found it!!! I’m also gonna add some other links from other posts too.
i get that its very amusing to you guys but when non-brits make fun of heavily accented british dialects and say theyāre impossible to understand or they sound funny or stupid its just likeā¦ why are you helping these elitist english pricks out? its historical fact that the upper class in the UK Deliberately cultivated a southern ā"englishāā accent amongst themselves that they decided denoted āstatusā and have since called all other british accents 'unintelligableā in order to protect class boundaries. accent is Such a sensitive race and class related subject here - oftentimes your accent is Assumed to indicate if youāre intelligent or not which is just Bullshit. its used to gatekeep jobs and housing and schools. so can you at least Try to stop making fun of british regional/working class accents and bully the posh english twats instead. we get enough shit at home without americans or whoever else on twitter joining in
tl;dr:
And this doesnāt just go for Scotland/Wales/Ireland either. The North of England gets hit with this sort of thing too, wouldnāt be surprised if Cornwall does as well. Not as badly perhaps but it is still the case.
i am talking about regional accents! but im mainly talking about the fact the uk has class specific accents. 2 people in london can grow up in the exact same borough. one in a nice house. one on a housing estate. and end up with totally different accents. one speaking Cockney. one speaking RP.
my mum spent hours of my childhood trying to get me to pronounce the H in 'houseā and 'waterā with a hard T because she knew it was gonna shape how people saw me
I legit just saw a fucking post making fun of british people who pronounce water bottle like 'wah'ah bo-oleā and one comment underneath was like 'um nah donāt group us in with the chavs i dont speak like thatā because honestly its true only "chavsā speak like that and this perfectly demostrates the issue that everyone seems blind to and im sick of it. americans are helping reenforce this classism/racism and EVERYONE JUST FUCKING IGNORES IT because they either donāt understand or donāt care about PoC in the UK. The accent youāre making fun of is an accent disproptionatly belonging to BAME individuals in the inner-cities, especially London. Itās basically the UKās equivalent of AAVE (as itās not only just an accent but has an attached dialect) but the UK never had segregation so white people from the same communities have the same accent. I get that it doesnāt matter to a lot of you but if youāve ever interacted with one of those posts you should reblog this and stop interacting theyāre not funny anyway i donāt get why its so amusing to you guys to aggravate people over the way they speak thats so cruel.
Thereās still been users still getting their accounts hacked and used by the Ray Bans bot. It is still a threat.
ā ļøDO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK IF YOU ARE TAGGED IN IT. Itās tagging masses of people in one go and targeting them directly now. Even using trusted users who were once a follower of yours.
APPARENTLY this is still an issue!
Iāve been getting recent reblogs saying more accounts have been hacked this way. Please be safe and DO NOT click that link!
Date this was reblogged and marks it as still an issue: 6/23/2021
Thereās also a newer Louis Vuitton version thatās very similar, real shame to see old mutuals being hacked like this

If anyone knows of any zine fairs, artist markets, or horror conventions in England, prefereably East England and London, please give me names! Once events are running again I’d love to table at some with my zines but I don’t know of very many..
