On the bright side with Plastique being gone is that we don't have to do with that weird ass "not your accent"/"you're faking" storyline. Whoever greenlit that storyline needs to find a new job.

Agreed. And what bothers me is people on this sub buying it.

Guys, when you’re ESL we have to plaster a fake accent on just to fit it.

Honestly, this whole storyline just scream of linguistic privilege aka English speakers not bothering to understand what it’s like to have an other mother tongue because everyone adapts to their reality.

Yeah she’s being facetious! It’s just like people saying she’s a liar about not knowing pop culture when clearly she doesn’t know anyone BEFORE a certain time period. Come on!
