Re: Vent about things fans get wrong about certain cultures, languages, countries, etc

Everything in fiction about Scotland. Everything. It is like everything about Scotland stops in the 1950s (I mean, for Airdrie, fair enough) at the very latest. Most of the stereotypes stop in 1850s (again, for Airdrie...) and it is just offensive. Especially when someone tries a Scottish accent, even the best ones wander around the entire country and are sounding like my great-gran would have thought was old fashioned. Worse when it is written down. It is one thing try dialect (if you are exceptionally good at researching which dialect), but the phonetic accent thing is just gross and racist, especially with the antique accents, dialects, and attitudes. Just fucking gie it up!

+1 I don't know anyone who says Laddie or Lassie every third word in a conversation, you wouldn't know that from fiction though. Don't get me started on the Scotland is either Edinburgh or the Highlands and Islands bias too. That is Western islands, obviously, even other Scottish people need reminding Orkney, Shetland, and Fair Isle exist. No one ever sets anything in Galloway or Ayrshire either.

Phonetically-spelled accents in general are awful. But it annoys me especially with Scottish accents because I'm so familiar with them.

A few dialect words here and there or a mention of an accent really will do. Especially since Scottish people's speech patterns vary as much as anyone with any other kind of accent.
