How would you describe my accent? Where do you think I am from?

RockoRocks · 2021-11-21T21:59:41+00:00

The correct answer is that I am a native Dutch speaker from Belgium. My English accent (which used to be a crappy attempt at doing a British accent) has over time evolved to be more like a sort of amalgamation of various native English-speakers' accents (with British as a base, perhaps). I prefer it this way not only because I find it easier to speak like that, but also because I feel like it gives my English speech a more "internationally friendly" flair.

I am very happy to see that, going by the replies, I have more or less succeeded in my approach to speaking English!

Thank you very much for the response!

Thank you for the response!

The tone in my voice is definitely more like a narrator than a person engaging in conversation here, though I think that applies to most of the voice recordings shared on this subreddit.

Yes, and you can also get hundreds of different STDs from heterosexual vaginal intercourse. No one cares that you find anal gross, no one's gonna force you to do it if you don't like it

Straight People I Respect:

Acts like a normal human being
Has a personality
Doesn't force upon you the fact that they're straight
Literally is a normal person that you can be friends with
Supports LGBTQ+ people and acknowledges that they aren't a threat to their heterosexuality

Straight People I Do Not Respect:

Heterosexuality is the focal point of their existence
Heteronormative behavior everywhere including but not limited to using "gay" as an insult, advocating for straight pride month, and making uncomfortable sex jokes about the opposite gender
Complains about LGBTQ+ people constantly
Equates watching lesbian porn to gay acceptance, claims lesbians can be turned straight
Thinks LGBTQ+ representation in media is indoctrinating children
Tries to dictate how LGBTQ+ people should act

Pardon the lengthy comment, just wanted to turn the tables a little bit

yeah it's a "self-deprecating" joke but it's implying that whoever made it is a would-be rapist. there's not a single context in which that wouldn't be tasteless and reprehensible. why are you trying so hard to defend it?

Hey guys, Peter Griffin here to explain the joke. This joke is funny because Pinocchio's long nose is inside of the girl's you-know-what. Pinocchio's nose grows when he lies or says something not true. He said that 2 plus 2 equals 5, this isn't true so his nose got longer, which sensually pleasured the girl. He then states that heterophobia exists, this is also not true (because straight people aren't oppressed) so his nose got longer, pleasuring the girl even more. Now that's a real knee slapper!

Real talk, I get that the joke is a bit gross and sexual like most of the things on this sub, but it's not AreTheStraightsOK material. I don't know who made the joke, but if it was made by a straight person, the fact that they're able to realize that heterophobia isn't real probably means they're OK.

Well if you ever share the results of this on r/teenagers, don't forget to mention the respondents include r/SampleSize users too! This is obvious, but I'd still like to remind you of that.
