You're probably very right, and it's so baffling. Who cares if an actor has an accent? So long as the accent isn't so strong that it's hard to understand them, it's just...irrelevant!

Meh.

I think that one of the issues with mainstream American audiences is that they're not very used to unfamiliar accents and it doesn't need to be particularly strong before a significant number of people can't understand it. And Hollywood is very averse to things that might affect the broad appeal they're aiming for, unfortunately.

[tabaqui]

I"m so fucking sick of mainstream America.

Ironic coming from the poster child for it.

[tabaqui]

Uh huh. Whatever you say, Anon.

[(Anonymous)]

Case in point really. Total lack of self awareness. Ugh.

[(Anonymous)]

Didn't we all miss the troll anon! (nope)

[tabaqui]

Right? Yeesh.

[(Anonymous)]

Why does everyone always assume there's just one anon who's a troll, when 50% of people on the internet are trolling? (I usually figure it's 20% for F!S, but at least 50% on social media.)

[(Anonymous)]

Don't be a wankgoblin.

[(Anonymous)]

I could see concern about playing into some insulting Asian stereotypes being an issue as well, depending on the nature of the accent.

[tabaqui]

Maybe, depending on the role, I think. If the character isn't a caricature or a stereotype, just having an accent wouldn't be insulting, and the story itself was written by a person born in Singapore....

[(Anonymous)]

... how? I mean, actors from mainland China would naturally have that accent, and they'd be playing characters who are from mainland China.
